OEM Approvals and Certification
From Audi to Zoox, we work closely with all major automotive OEMs to ensure our products are approved for use in their collision repair programs.
OEM Technical Approvals
As a leader in OEM approvals, PPG products go through a series of technical tests to ensure that they meet strict OEM certification criteria and deliver color accuracy, performance and finish that is as close as possible to the original factory finish.
Using OEM-approved systems from PPG means that collision facilities can serve their customers with confidence. Our products are proven to meet the requirements of even the most complex finishes.
OEM Certification* Information
PPG also has consultants available to help you in your choice of, and in pursuit of, OEM certifications. Expertise includes subjects like marketing analysis to include car parc, analysis of the certification standards and more.
Because most OEM collision programs require that a PPG-certified technician be based at the collision facility and renew their certification every two years, PPG offers product certification and recertification courses. Certified collision facilities employing a PPG-certified technician can also provide paint warranties separate from factory warranties.
