I spoke with Wendy Hartley from Graco about their new Stellair paint guns, which received Ergonomics Performance Certification from United States Ergonomics LLC in this video TechTalk at FinishingAndCoating.com that you can view at https://lnkd.in/gMKHDMwD . Wendy says they sent legacy guns to be tested by USE, which used sensors on test painters' arms, wrists, shoulders, and elbows to gain statistical insight into what was comfortable for an operator. “They also interacted with the operator and asked them where they felt pressure points on their hands and stress on their muscles and which applicators made them feel good and which ones didn't,” Wendy says. “The evaluation was the first step, and then the engineers took that information and built it into the spray guns." #finishingandcoating #finishing #coating #liquidcoating #surfacefinishing

We’re honored to share this heartfelt letter from a recipient of this year’s Paint-a-Thon – an initiative dedicated to supporting senior citizens, disabled adults and veterans (or their surviving spouses). In partnership with Hearts & Hammers , Graco provided fresh paint and essential home repairs to transform Colleen’s house into a home once again. In her words, “seeing something I never imagined would be repaired come back to life” was a powerful reminder of the impact we can all make in our communities. It’s moments like these that highlight the passion and dedication of everyone involved. Thank you to Grant Nelson and all of our volunteers who helped make this project a success! ?? #PaintAThon #Volunteering #CommunityBuilding
