PPG PAINTBRUSH MOSAIC GARNERS WORLD RECORD With more than 150 gallons of OLYMPIC ® MAXIMUM ® stain and 33,000 WOOSTER ® paint brushes, PPG's Olympic Paints and Stains brand recently achieved the Guinness World Records ® title for the largest paintbrush mosaic. Hundreds of shoppers and guests at 21 Lowe's locations across the Midwest and East Coast helped to build the 350-square-foot mosaic as part of the Olympic Maximum stain tour. Each tour attendee along the 1,500-mile route could dip a paintbrush in Olympic Maximum stain and personally sign it to contribute to the artwork. " DESOTHANE ® HS MILITARY TOPCOATS AFFORD EXCELLENT WEATHERING DURABILITY SO THAT THESE SPECIAL AIRCRAFT WILL KEEP THEIR APPEARANCE FOR YEARS TO COME." John Outcalt Vice President, Global Refinish Given the articles featuring PPG products on Navy football helmets, military aircraft, armored vehicles and a colorful WWII commemorative bombshell for display at our upcoming "Salute to Color" SEMA booth, there's an underlying patriotic theme throughout this issue of Repaint Reporter. And it reminds me of what makes America so great: our freedom of choice. It's a cherished attribute that especially applies to PPG and our vast choice of product offerings and technologies. Whether the need is tough protection for a military vehicle finish, a one-of-a-kind custom masterpiece, a productivity-focused collision center or for a highly specialized application, the PPG portfolio offers an unparalleled choice of practical solutions. From solvent to waterborne, our coating technology choices are nearly endless. There are options for the value conscious, and choices for those seeking premium quality. Technologies engineered for heavy-duty commercial use. The list is long and varied. In our industry, refinishers are free to choose from a wide array of competing paint suppliers. But there's good reason why long-standing customers like Fitzpatrick Bros (see article) have stayed loyal to PPG throughout the decades. They've come to know that when confronted with a specific need—whether it concerns performance, color or their specific operating conditions—PPG will have the answer. INSIDE LINE 4 FREEDOM OF CHOICE
