PPG has introduced its Quickline waterborne refinish system, giving collision repair businesses a complete repair solution designed to deliver consistent results across a range of workshop conditions.
The system brings together basecoats, undercoats, clearcoats, toners and supporting products to provide body shops with a comprehensive refinish package for everyday collision repair requirements. PPG says the range has been developed to support accurate colour matching, efficient blending and dependable application while helping technicians maintain finish quality and productivity.
At the heart of the system is its waterborne basecoat technology, which can help repair shops reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions while maintaining coverage and finish quality. This makes Quickline a practical option for businesses looking to improve environmental performance while managing the demands of day-to-day repair work.
Brian Osterried, PPG collision operational product manager for Automotive Refinish, says collision repairers are not always able to work in ideal conditions, but customers still expect consistently high-quality results. The Quickline system is designed to address this challenge by combining performance, productivity and affordability, backed by PPG's colour technology and technical expertise.
Colour accuracy is a key feature of the system. PPG says its extensive toner range, together with digital colour tools, helps technicians achieve accurate colour matches and improve the consistency of repairs. The system is also designed to support efficient blending and control of metallic finishes, which can be particularly important when repairing individual panels on modern vehicles.
Productivity is another focus of the Quickline range. Fast flash times, efficient blending and rapid clearcoat curing are intended to help technicians move vehicles through the repair process efficiently. Anti-settle technology is also incorporated to help minimise pigment separation, supporting consistent colour and application performance.
PPG says Quickline has been engineered with ease of use in mind. Smooth sprayability, effective atomisation and even metallic orientation are intended to make the system accessible to painters with different levels of experience, while helping technicians achieve a uniform finish across repaired areas.
The system is also positioned as a cost-conscious solution for collision repair businesses. PPG says Quickline balances affordability with durability and dependable performance, allowing repairers to meet production requirements without compromising the quality of the finished repair.
Beyond the products themselves, Quickline is supported by PPG's technical training, colour resources and business development programmes. These additional resources are intended to help repair shops improve application techniques, colour management and overall refinish efficiency.
With its combination of waterborne technology, colour-matching capabilities, productivity-focused application characteristics and technical support, PPG's Quickline system is aimed at modern collision repair shops looking for a practical refinish solution that can deliver consistent results while supporting changing environmental and operational requirements.
