4 reasons why we choose PPG paint at Fernhill Smash Repairs Illawarra
When your car needs a repair after an accident, there’s a lot more to getting it back on the road than simply fixing the dents.
The quality of the paintwork is a huge part of the finished repair. The colour needs to match, the finish needs to look right from every angle, and the repair needs to stand up to everyday driving.
At Fernhill Smash Repairs, we take that part of the job seriously. That's why we choose PPG automotive paint systems for our repairs.
There are plenty of automotive paint brands available today, so you might be wondering: what makes PPG different, and why do we choose it?
1.It's about more than just paint
For us, choosing a paint system isn't simply about finding a colour and spraying it onto a panel.
A professional automotive refinish system needs to deliver consistent results throughout the entire repair process.
That includes colour matching, application, blending, coverage, clearcoat performance and the final finish.
PPG has a long history in automotive refinishing and has continued to develop paint technology designed to help repairers achieve consistent, professional results. PPG Paint is also used by the majority of major car companies – so it’s likely your car is already painted in PPG Paint from factory.
We want to use products that allow our team to do what they do best… repair vehicles properly and return them to our customers looking great.
2.Colour matching is one of the most important parts of a repair
One of the biggest challenges in automotive painting isn't necessarily painting the new panel.
It's making the new paint match the existing vehicle.
Modern vehicles come in an enormous range of colours, including metallics, pearls, three-stage finishes and other special-effect colours. Even two vehicles with the same factory paint code can sometimes require different colour variants to achieve the best match.
This is where PPG's colour technology really comes into its own.
PPG provides advanced colour-matching tools and extensive colour information to help technicians identify the right colour and variant for the vehicle being repaired.
That means our team has the technology available to help achieve the most accurate colour match possible.
3.Colour accuracy matters
But why? Well… Imagine having a new bumper fitted and painted, only to notice that it looks slightly different from the guard beside it.
That's not the result anyone wants.
Colour matching becomes particularly important when we're blending a repaired area into an existing panel. The paint needs to transition naturally from the new finish to the original finish.
Having the right colour information and technology available helps our technicians achieve a seamless result.
For us, that's another layer of quality control.
4.PPG's waterborne technology
Another reason we choose PPG is its waterborne automotive refinish technology.
We use PPG systems designed for professional automotive refinishing, including its Envirobase High Performance waterborne system.
Waterborne technology has become an important part of modern automotive refinishing. It allows professional repairers to achieve high-quality finishes while also reducing the environmental impact associated with traditional solvent-based paint systems.
For a professional repairer, the important thing is that environmental considerations don't have to mean compromising on the quality of the finished vehicle.
Why This Matters to You
You might not know what brand of paint is being used on your car.
And that's completely understandable.
What you care about is getting your vehicle back looking the way it should.
That's our job.
When we choose PPG, we're choosing a system that gives our painters the technology, consistency and colour accuracy needed to produce the quality finish we expect from our repairs.
It's one of the many decisions we make behind the scenes to ensure the finished job meets our standards.
