BASF and Bentley are hosting two advanced-level Glasurit refinish courses during the month of September to be completed by Bentley repair center technicians.

The courses, available in both Low VOC and National Rule, are titled Advanced Glasurit 90 Line (BEN200) and are required for technicians who work at accredited Bentley collision centers or those in the process of becoming accredited. Instructed by Glasurit global trainers, Bentley technicians will become familiar with the application processes to replicate Bentley finishes such as 3 stage, Liquid Mercury, Piano Finish and Matte Clear and their correct uses in the paint shop environment. Each course is limited to eight students and requires previous completion of Glasurit 90 Line (BEN100).

“Color is intensely personal to Bentley owners,” said Jeff Wildman, OEM manager for BASF Refinish. “It’s extremely important that the craftspeople at Bentley-accredited collision shops accurately replicate the wide range of colors and finishes offered by Bentley. BASF is very proud that Bentley has chosen Glasurit as their exclusive paint partner worldwide.”

Bentley’s vision of a shop that is recognized as one of the best in the world mandates that a set of specific requirements are consistently met, including the exclusive use of Glasurit 90 Line paint on Bentley vehicles. In addition to proving mastery of each Bentley-Glasurit application process, technicians also must satisfy other requirements for accreditation such as demonstration of the skills, technical expertise and passion needed for providing the best possible customer experience to Bentley vehicle owners.

Advanced Glasurit 90 Line (BEN200) will be held on the following dates:

• Low VOC: BASF Training Facility – Sept. 10-12, Houston, Texas

• National Rule: BASF Training Facility – Sept. 17-19 Houston, Texas
