At Colours Inc., we believe that the future of the collision refinish industry depends on the investment we make in tomorrow’s talent today. That’s why we’re proud to support the Collision Repair Education Foundation (CREF) with an in-kind donation valued at over $200,000, consisting of essential supplies and equipment to benefit collision repair programs across the country.
Who We Are:
Colours Inc. has been family-owned and operated since 1986, proudly serving the automotive, fleet, and industrial paint industry throughout our vast footprint. Built on strong values and a passion for quality, we treat our customers like family—offering top-tier products, expert service, and personalized support tailored to their needs.
As a PPG Platinum Distributor, we’re more than a supplier—we’re a committed partner in driving excellence across the industry. That includes supporting initiatives that empower and prepare the next generation of technicians and refinishers.
Making an Impact with CREF:
Our donation of pallets of high-quality paint products, tools, and training materials was made possible in collaboration with CREF and distributed to collision repair programs at several technical schools across the U.S. These materials are critical for providing students with the hands-on experience they need to develop real-world skills in a rapidly evolving industry.
Among the schools that received supplies were:
Wilkes-Barre Area Technical School (PA)
Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology in Lancaster (PA)
Kennedy King College in Chicago (IL)
Assabet Valley Regional Vocational Technical High School (MA)
These donations help bridge the resource gap many programs face, ensuring students can train with current, professional-grade materials and equipment.
A Shared Commitment to the Industry’s Future:
At Colours Inc., we’re honored to support the mission of CREF and the hard work of instructors and students alike. This donation reflects our continued investment in the industry that has supported our business for nearly four decades. By supporting programs like these, we’re not just giving back—we’re helping shape a stronger, more prepared workforce that will carry the industry forward.
