Global Finishing Solutions
(GFS), SATA and AkzoNobel, as well as numerous other donors, have partnered to provide SkillsUSA with a second professional-grade finishing environment for the 53rd annual National Leadership and Skills Conference.

This year’s trailer joins a previous competition trailer that was supplied in 2011. The newest equipment supplied includes a custom, portable spray booth trailer for a total of 16 state-of-the-art spraying stalls, which will be used for the SkillsUSA color matching competition.

According to AkzoNobel, the spray booth will help to improve the quality of the industry workforce and encourage the next generation of auto aftermarket painters to see past what they thought was possible.
