Through the support of CREF (Collision Repair Education Foundation), a national nonprofit organization who supports and gives back to high school and college collision school programs, FinishMaster is delighted to host the PiN Master challenge again at Hood Master. Collision repair students in high school and college repair, design, and paint retired bowling pins for a chance to win industry-related prizes that help better prepare them for their careers in the automotive industry.

Hood Master attendees will also be able to help support CREF while at the event through the FinishMaster Fundraiser. They will have a chance to win some incredible prizes like custom-painted pieces and mini hoods, tickets to sporting events and more, all while donating towards a great cause. All proceeds from the evening’s event will go directly to a FinishMaster educational grant for CREF to support collision repair programs in need.
