The American Coatings Association (ACA) is a voluntary nonprofit trade association in the chemical manufacturing sector that serves the paint and coatings industry and the professionals who work in it. The organization engages in advocacy at the federal, state, and local levels to represent industry positions on legislative, regulatory, and judicial matters, acting as an ally to ensure the industry is represented and fairly considered. ACA supports product stewardship through its Coating Care resources and promotes science and technology through technical conferences, journals, and online training, while also providing members with business information via publications, surveys, and programs. The association is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and employs between 51 and 200 people. In 2026, ACA announced leadership changes appointing individuals to chairman and vice chairman roles, and it named Garrett Heise as Director of Political Affairs.
