OUR BODY SHOP HAS “GONE GREEN”
We’re doing our part to leave Okeechobee and this world a bit better than we found it. Gilbert Collision Center is “going green” with the introduction of new Green Technology and staying on the cutting edge of the industry.
Our paint of choice is the very green, Sherwin Williams waterborne basecoat system, Ultra 9K™. It is designed for wet-on-wet applications delivering excellent coverage (and increased cycle time) as well as savings to the customer and the environment. With Ultra 9K, we use less paint and generate fewer emissions. Ultra 9K’s eco-stance is further complemented by an assortment of high-performance low VOC undercoats and clears.
