Each day we will feature waterborne basecoats using one of our global refinish brands – Standox^® on Friday, April 24; Cromax^®on Saturday, April 25; and Spies Hecker^®on Sunday, April 26. In addition to painting, visitors can interact with technical experts or visit Axalta’s main booth (Booth #1302) for an introduction to the Axalta Learning Campus, our ColorNet^® formula-retrieval system or our ProfitNet^® collision management system.

“We are pleased to offer a platform for technicians to test new products and techniques alongside one of our expert trainers. It is a great way for Axalta to educate painters about the latest innovations available in coatings,” said Jim Evans, Axalta North America Training Manager. “We provide similar opportunities at our latest generation training centers across the country. Because proper training is so important, we are awarding scholarships to Automechanika attendees. For those who cannot travel, we are launching the Axalta Learning Campus at Automechanika which provides both technical and business e-learning.
