The SIMSpray is a 3D experience which will train a student how to use proper paint gun techniques while avoiding hazardous fumes and costly materials. This training aid can be used to prepare a student with the basics of paint gun techniques prior to spraying paint in a paint booth. It is an engaging training aid geared toward the students who are playing video games.

9. ALEX’S COMMENTS
• My uncle took this class
and they didn’t have the
SimSpray
• It is the greatest tool to start
with so you get an idea
about your
speed, lapage, and
coverage before you waste
product in the shop

11. CRISTIAN’S COMMENTS
• This helps with technique,
distance, spray pattern, and
overlap
• It shows how much coverage
you need
• We painted every day for 1-2
weeks before we painted in the
shop
• I went with Tim to the Brush High
School and it drew a lot of
interest and got students to sign
up for the program

12. CONCLUSION
• This has been very useful
for the Auto Collision Repair Program at
MCC
• It helps with recruiting new students
• It helps students practice spraying before going to the shop
• It gives us another tool for the program
• Although it does not replace actual spraying, it is one more way to
show students how to paint and gives them some practice
