Remote Paint Inspection

Prior Certifications No Longer Maintained

A variety of certifications have been achieved by our principle inspector Michael Jones during the course of his career in the protective coatings industry. As maintaining each certification is costly, time consuming, and not always needed, Michael has chosen to let some lapse as they became unnecessary as his career progressed.
