NWACA Collision Lunch & Learn - Navigating the Collision Industry Today: SCRS’ Blend Study Research

NWACA’s Collision Lunch and learn 

Navigating the collision industry today: SCRS’ blend study research 

Presented by SCRS Executive Director Aaron Schulenburg. 

January 14th from 12:00 to 1:00 PST 
 

 

  

In 2022 the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) released the results of a “blend study” conducted in coordination with AkzoNobel Vehicle Refinishes, Axalta Coating Systems, BASF Automotive Refinish, PPG Industries, Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes and audited by DEKRA. The study compared the difference between the time necessary to perform full refinish on the exterior of a new and undamaged panel to the time needed to blend the same panel. The results concluded the blending took more time, not less, than full refinish. Learn how the study conclusions made way for information providers to conduct their own research, and the resulting outcomes and changes to their systems. Understand how the response and documentation from the IPs can provide opportunities to document variations in the refinish process and provide both painters and repair planners a foundation for more informed conversation surrounding the application of refinish for color match. Aaron will additionally touch on other valuable resources coming from the SCRS as a national association. You won’t want to miss this lunch and learn event!
