PPG Launches QUICKLINE Waterborne Refinish System for Body Shops Across the U.S. and Canada

PPG has announced the launch of the PPG QUICKLINE™ waterborne refinish system, a comprehensive portfolio of basecoats, undercoats, clearcoats, toners, and ancillary products. Designed for collision repair shops, the system delivers consistent, high-quality finishes while ensuring reliable performance across a wide range of application conditions.

The system delivers accurate color matching, seamless blending, fast drying performance, and flexible application options, enabling painters to complete repairs efficiently while achieving high-quality finishes. As a cost-effective waterborne solution, it also helps reduce VOC emissions and supports compliance with evolving environmental regulations.

“Not all body shops operate under ideal conditions, but they all need to deliver quality repairs consistently,” said Brian Osterried, PPG collision operational product manager, Automotive Refinish. “The PPG Quickline system is designed to help shops achieve reliable results in a variety of environments while balancing performance, productivity and affordability. It gives them a practical, high-value solution backed by PPG’s industry-leading support and color technology.”

The system offers the following key benefits:

• Color capability: Delivers accurate OEM color matching through a comprehensive toner portfolio and PPG’s digital color tools, enabling technicians to improve color accuracy and enhance repair efficiency.

• Productivity: Fast flash times, efficient blending, excellent metallic control, and rapid clearcoat curing help shorten repair cycle times and improve shop throughput. Anti-settle technology reduces pigment separation, ensuring consistent colour accuracy and minimising material preparation time.

• Easy application: Engineered for smooth sprayability, excellent atomization, and uniform metallic orientation, the system enables painters of all skill levels to achieve consistent, high-quality finishes with ease.

• Value: Offering an optimal balance of quality and affordability, the system delivers reliable durability, consistent performance, and long-term value for collision repair shops.

• Sustainability: With waterborne basecoat technology, the system reduces VOC emissions and provides excellent coverage and high-quality finishes, helping body shops meet their sustainability goals without sacrificing performance.

The PPG QUICKLINE™ waterborne refinish system is supported by PPG’s extensive technical training, advanced color support tools, business development programs, and a strong distributor network across the U.S. and Canada, helping body shops maximize productivity and achieve consistent repair results.
