  • The paint systems are in descending order of performance and from there you can click right through to the appropriate MPI category and see all the currently listed manufactures, with their products.
  • You can search for and save a list of all your specific systems choices and manufacture/products.
  • You also have access to a downloadable MPI Guide specification and the paint-related standards and responsibilities.
