As we look forward to what 2022 has in store, we pause to look back on 2021. While this year was marked by more uncertainty and change, we enjoyed sharing customer stories, assisting you in keeping your shop and employees safe, and highlighting the process of achieving high-quality paint finishes.
In case you missed them, here are our top five blog posts of 2021:
1. Understanding the 4 Modes of Heated Automotive Paint Booths
For collision repair centers with significant volume, having a heated paint booth is essential to avoid backlogs and keep up with production demands. Heated paint booths have key modes that make operating the booth a breeze and ensure efficient, quality paint finishes.
