The Cromax EZ system of primers, sealers, base coats and clear coats is easy to mix, easy to match and easy to apply.
“We found out the primers and sealers work very, very well,” Flores said. “They give us great coverage. The sealers are just a great product to use.”
Flores also praised the base coats for their superior color match and coverage---especially compared to his shop’s former vendor.
“They just didn’t have the same coverage,” Flores said. “Using Axalta means less material and more profit for the paint department.
“The clear is just phenomenal, just a great clear,” he added.
In addition, Axalta provided training for Flores’ head painter, Alfredo Murillo, making him proficient at using the Cromax EZ system as efficiently and effectively as possible, to produce the best results while saving money on materials.
“He uses the entire Cromax system, which has led to bigger profit margins,” Flores said. “He’s our in-house expert.”
Flores said the customer support from Axalta has been top-notch since the first day.
“The customer support has been excellent so far; I have had zero complaints,” Flores said. “I am extremely happy with the support from Axalta and the team here in Southern California: Joel Sanchez and Carlos Lopez.”
ProColor Collision Montclair’s production increased easily between 25% to 30% per month, offering collision repair, painting services and computerized color matching, as well as a lifetime warranty on all insurance repairs. They are also working on their Tesla certification. “That’s very important to us,” Flores said.
Flores said Axalta will be a valued vendor partner for many years to come.
“Everybody from the top of the food chain to the very bottom has been very helpful, very supportive, and very encouraging every step of the way,” Flores said. “I’m very pleased with what Axalta has brought to my business, and what they continue to bring to the table.”
