Good morning,
I have a peculiar inquiry but I hope you can help. Back in the late 1960s or possibly the early 1970s my father was a PPG paint dealer in Gloucester Ma.. Sometime in that time period he brought home a promo record (a plastic disc that goes on a record player:) that you folks put out, I’m sure it was called “The Pittsburgh Paints Theater of the Year”. As I remember a comedian named Allen Sherman was the writer/performer. I have thought about this crazy record for years and hunted on the internet for it with no luck, I’m sure any copies dealers had were consigned to the dustbin of history long ago. If your corporate library has a digitized copy and can share it I would be very grateful.
Thank you for your time,
Dave Bowling

We bought your PPG paint color called Stone Castle Greige at Home Depot and wanted to get the Breakthrough paint in the same color for our kitchen cabinets and found that the PPG paint store does not carry that color.My question is,Why.Can they match the Stone Castle Greige color in Breakthrough.,if not my cabinets will not match my trim,that will look terrible..
I am extremely upset with the outcome of sealing my wrap around porch. I purchased your product, Olympic Wood Protector, item #79070 for the project. The container plainly states that it is aclear sealant, in two areas on e front panel. I have used Olympic sealants on four different occasions and have been very pleased with the completed project. This time when applying the product it was an orangey color, not the normal milky white as I previously used. I wasn’t alarmed since the label stated it was clear and suspected it would dry clear. It’s dry and the color is horrific. I applied the sealant with a sprayer as usual. The entire porch floor is orange! My railings, siding, posts and the white lattice below is spotted from
M the overspray
I am completing my previous complaint. The overspray has ruined the lattice. It will need to be replaced. I have photos if you would like to see them. I spoke with Jordon Paskorz a technical advisor at your company. He kept saying that pigments have been added and I should have read the instructions. He couldn’t help but offered to refund my money. That is great but, my porch looks awful! The lattice looks awful. The posts and railings look awful. I would like your assistance in rectifying this problem. The time and expense to fix my porch will be exhausting. I look forward to your response.
I have been getting the run around for a year now would appreciate some one calling me back. I painted a 3000 sq ft house using manor hall the product was defective when I contacted the sales rep he did nothing about it even after I brought a sample of the paint. He lied and said he sent it off for testing he never did. I ended up going to your competitor buying the paint and painting the home over again. Please call me back asap 520582XXXXX
The health care insurance we, as retirees, were forced to purchase is terrible. My wife medications are going up to over $1400 per month and after we reach the insurance limit the cost will go up even more. Why did you do this to us? My wife is diabetic and has lupus and the outcome is going to be devastating.
I will be teaching a senior education course at Carnegie Mellon University early next year and a portion will be devoted to PPG Industries. Do you have any audio visual materials that
I could borrow that cover the founding, development, achievements and any other pertinent
information? My advertising agency served as agency of record for your trade paints
division ‘way back in the ’80s (if that makes any difference)!
Thank you,

To the CEO and or store developers;
It is my understanding that a food store is needed at the north end of Chino Valley Arizona. I have an almost five acre plot parallel to highway 89, 3700 block of north SR89.
In speaking with the development people in Chino, we discovered a non compete clause between the Safeway Co. and Chino City. That clause has just expired. My wife and I are looking at ways to develop this property. With the future growth between Interstate 40 and the north end of Chino, it may prove to be a good investment. We also discovered a roundabout to be installed south of the location and the highway going to four lane.
The installation of fiber optics is also being laid and I believe that it would be on the same side of the road as our property. We do have the property listed, however we are willing to negotiate. Email or call 1888 883 1815
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Vincent and Linda Julian
