Las Vegas, Nevada -- PPG has set a Guinness World Records title on the SEMA Show floor.
More than 275 people took part in a simultaneous paint stirring challenge during a customer event at the 2025 SEMA Show in Las Vegas on Nov. 5. A Guinness World Records official verified the count and confirmed the record.
Afterward, the crowd watched a SEM Mix’n’Shake system mix a paint formula hands-free in under 60 seconds.
The automated system produces a fully homogenized car paint mix in less than a minute. and can help body shops recover up to 6 percent more productive work hours annually. The system is designed to aid consistency as well as workplace cleanliness and can cut numerous costs, including cups and stirring sticks, by up to 10 percent.
“This was more than a record-setting event -- it was a symbolic moment for the industry,” said Rodolfo Ramirez, vice-president of automotive refinish coatings at PPG.
The paint used during the record attempt will be donated to Dixie Technical College in St. George, Utah to support automotive and collision repair technology training.
The Mix’n’Shake connects with its PPG LINQ digital ecosystem and complements tools including the PPG MOONWALK automated mixing system.
