PPG Offers New Color Options for Glidden Max Flex Spray Paint
Read MoreHide Full Article
PPG Industries Inc. (PPG - Free Report) recently unveiled six new trendy colors and a product label for its GLIDDEN MAX FLEX spray paint and primer by PPG label. With a lacquer-based solution that delivers a no-drip-perfect finish with a five-minute dry time, this award-winning product has revolutionized the spray paint game.
Glidden Max Flex paint ensures surface coverage with fewer passes than a conventional spray pattern. The elimination of drips and streaks also gives it a competitive edge.
According to a Glidden customer poll, blue and green are the most modern and trendy spray paint colors. Brown, green and beige were considered the most earthy and natural. According to the poll, black and blue are frequently chosen on outdoor furniture. These findings have been considered while selecting the six new color offerings by PPG.
Shares of PPG have gained 16.4% over the past year compared with a 6.9% rise of its industry.

Adjusted earnings for the second quarter are projected in the band of $2.05-$2.15.
