"We have to thank our friends and supporters from PPG who were instrumental in helping SCRS arrange to add such a high profile personality like Charley Hutton to the great lineup we are assembling for the SEMA Show," states SCRS Chairman Aaron Clark. "Charley is of great interest and relevance to the collision repair audience, as someone who started off in this business like so many of the custom painters and fabricators did."It has already been a great experience for PPG to be part of the Repairer Driven Education (RDE) program, and the SEMA Show has really given a great canvas for SCRS to use as they put together the educational agenda for the industry," added Domenic Brusco, Sr. Manager of Industry Relations for PPG Automotive Refinish. " Our partnership with Charley has shown us how his craftsmanship and point-of-view really complements much of the material that SCRS is offering in their RDE program, and we are glad we can play a role in SCRS' activities which are clearly providing the widest possible variety of useful content to the repair industry."
