Butler BCRN – Waterborne Is Ready At Butler

December 8, 2010 by Butler--BCRN 3 Comments

PPG Auto Paint Mixing System  Butler Collision Repair Network
Everything is ready to start spraying waterborne paint at the collision repair program at Butler Community College.  Earlier this year the mixing bank and paint were added, but our PPG computer system was outdated and did not support the new waterborne paint.  Therefore, PPG ordered us a new touch screen computer system, which came in this week.  PPG and Car Color showed up and installed the new system. 

Thanks To PPG
Now we have another method to teach green technology.  The waterborne paint provides a cleaner and safer working environment for the students and for the earth too.  It’s going to be an exciting adventure to make this transition and start spraying the new auto paints.   KUDOS to PPG for investing in the auto collsion technicians of tomorrow. 

The Computer System
We are excited about the new computer system as well.  Now our scale is hooked up to our touch screen computer system, which provides many benefits.  This will allow the students to mix paints, primers, clear coats, etc. on the scale without measure cups.  The system has all of the products in it that can be entered, which will provide the exact amount of material needed for each product.  This will allow us to mix smaller quantities of material, which will save the school money.  Another awesome feature that the new system has is the ability to recalculate the paint formula is the student accidentally over pour a paint tint when mixing.  In the past, we did not have the ability to do this, which may have resulted in a miss-match color. 

More to ComeWe have a lot more exciting things happening here at Butler so check back to learn more.  We’ll keep you updated on the waterborne paint training as well as other things going in our program.  Stay connected with us by visiting our profile on Collision Blast.  Visit http://www.collisionblast.com/author/butler-bcrn/

    That’s great news guys, glad to hear you are shooting water now. Your students will love it, it practically sprays itself. Color variant deck is awesome with all colors in chromatic order. Very easy to use and great color matches.

    I love the touch screen also, it is way better then all the other paint manufactures computer systems in my opinion. You may not need it Donnie but it is a good idea to have your computer connected to the Internet as they are always providing updates to colors via the PPG Online color. It is a great way to see other “specials” that have not been included in your last CD update.

    You will love it, I am very confident of that!
