Krapohl Ford in Michigan Switches to Waterborne Refinish System
Krapohl Ford Lincoln Mercury, a Ford Certified Collision Repair Network (CCRN) member in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, has transitioned its shop to waterborne basecoat from solvent-based systems in anticipation of new air quality regulations. The body shop is now using the AWX(TM) Waterborne Basecoat System from Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes Corporation (SWAFC), according to Mark Smith, Krapohl General Manager.“We are very pleased to switch to this new coating system and will continue to give our customers superior results for their collision repairs as well as help to improve our air quality,” Smith said. “We didn’t switch because we had to, but because it’s a win-win situation. By transitioning to the new AWX system we’ve made a commitment to our customers and our community. With our conversion to waterborne coatings we will continue to provide the highest quality repairs, but now in a more environmentally-friendly setting.”
