• It is not a substitute for actual hands-on spraying, but it gives the

students a head start

• It does help us reduce the environmental impact by using less paint

• It is a great tool to use for recruiting students

• It does have limitations replicating brands of paint

spraying

ALEX’S COMMENTS

• My uncle took this class

and they didn’t have the

SimSpray

• It is the greatest tool to start

with so you get an idea

about your

speed, lapage, and

coverage before you waste

product in the shop

CRISTIAN 1ST YEAR STUDENT

CRISTIAN’S COMMENTS

• This helps with technique,

distance, spray pattern, and

overlap

• It shows how much coverage

you need

• We painted every day for 1-2

weeks before we painted in the

shop

• I went with Tim to the Brush High

School and it drew a lot of

interest and got students to sign

up for the program

CONCLUSION

• This has been very useful for the Auto Collision Repair Program at

MCC

• It helps with recruiting new students

• It helps students practice spraying before going to the shop

• It gives us another tool for the program

• Although it does not replace actual spraying, it is one more way to

show students how to paint and gives them some practice
