Criteria for Eligibility
Making PPG your only paint line is a requirement of the Platinum program. But it also makes good business sense. Specialization results in fewer stock keeping units (SKUs), better inventory control, maximum product knowledge with minimal training requirements and PPG’s highest level of support.
