REGISTRATION OPEN FOR SHERWIN-WILLIAMS AEROSPACE 2011 COATINGS TRAINING PROGRAM

Sherwin-Williams announces that registration is open for its 2011 Aerospace Coatings training program. The training program allows aerospace coatings painting professionals to expand their skill sets from applying new chrome and lead hazard free surface treatments and primer systems to spraying the latest in technology-driven high-quality topcoats.

During the two-day sessions held at the Sherwin-Williams modern Customer Service and Training Center in Andover (Wichita) Kan., participants will learn about the latest industry developments and products in surface pretreatment, primer systems and top coats.

“Our two-day training programs are designed for all levels of paint shop personnel,” says Julie Voisin, Sherwin-William Aerospace Product Manager. “New technicians can become better acquainted with our products and the best application techniques, while seasoned pros can take time to refine their skills in an actual shop setting. Our goal is to have every participant leave with inspiration and ideas to help them create the best paint jobs possible back at their own shops, on every plane, every time.”

Training sessions will be held on April 26-27, June 14-15, Sept. 20-21 and Nov. 8-9 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. daily. A per-person registration fee of $299 includes classroom and hands-on training with skilled industry professionals; a training book and related materials; all necessary safety equipment; catered lunch each day; and certified training certificate.

The training center is equipped with many types of spray equipment, including electrostatic guns. Attendees, however, may bring their own spray equipment if they prefer.
