October 7, 1997 UNDERSTANDING I-CAR'S PURPOSE IN ANALYZING TRANSFER EFFICIENCY (Rolling Meadows, IL) I-CAR is currently in the process of verifying information contained in the I-CAR Finish Matching Course and the ADVANCE-TECH curriculum related to the transfer efficiency of conventional high-pressure and HVLP spray guns. The study is being conducted as part of a regular update process and was prompted by questions raised by I-CAR Instructors and Students. I-CAR's only intent of the study, being conducted by MGA, is to determine if the transfer efficiency percentages stated in our course material are correct and up-to-date. Although the test is being conducted simultaneously with a material consumption study being conducted between Mitchell and MGA, I-CAR has no intent to, and will not, move into labor times, rates, or material costs and does not have any interest in the results of the material consumption portion of the study. I-CAR is only involved in the study to update the information in our course material related to transfer efficiency. Conducting the test simultaneously with the study being conducted by Mitchell and MGA provided us with the opportunity to ensure the accuracy of our course material while reducing the cost to I-CAR. I-CAR has a commitment to ensure that our course materials are current and up-to-date. This commitment requires I-CAR to research all available Industry information and to periodically conduct tests to verify that the information provided to the Industry is factual and current. Although there may be concerns regarding our involvement in this study, I-CAR has no intent to change its mission or purpose of providing up-to-date training to the Industry. I-CAR, founded in 1979, is an international, not-for-profit, training organization dedicated to improving the quality, safety, and efficiency of auto collision repair for the ultimate benefit of consumers.
