Stymeist Auto Body and Frame shows us that Low VOC’s aren’t just for houses any more!

Many of us know about the health and environmental benefits of using Low Volitile Organic Compound paints in our homes; paints that have much less "off gassing," don't smell as bad, and are much less harmful to both us and the environment. What many of us don't know is that not only is it possible to go low on the VOC's in our homes, but these days even automotive finishes are going Low VOC!
Here in Amador County, Steve Stymeist, owner of Steymeist Auto Body and Frame in Jackson, has switched over to PPG's low VOC waterborne basecoat system. Stymeist is proud to run the first body shop in Amador County to move to this new green technology. "This helps us do our part to improve the quality of our air and contribute to an overall healthier work environment," he explained. "This is a major technological advancement with no downsides. Not only is it better ecologically, it gives better color matches and is faster to complete a repair than the systems we were using before." Although somewhat more expensive right now than the old solvent borne system, the benefits are worth the cost.

Amador County is greening!
