Bodyshop programme bigger<br />
and better than ever at<br />
Automechanika Birmingham 2023<br />
Automechanika Birmingham has revealed its biggest ever bodyshop<br />
programme for 2023, with three new stand-out features now announced.<br />
<strong>The</strong> much-anticipated event will host its very first Paint<br />
& Spray Live, providing visitors with the opportunity to<br />
experience demonstrations first hand at the show and see<br />
the latest paints and spray guns in action within its fully ventilated<br />
and operational spray booth, courtesy of Masterflo.<br />
Another brand-new feature for 2023 will be Collision Repair<br />
Live, with short, sharp demonstrations taking place every 15<br />
minutes from leading suppliers to the UK repair sector.<br />
It will allow bodyshop visitors get up-close and personal with<br />
the most up-to-date products and techniques to help them<br />
perform their tasks more effectively and efficiently.<br />
On display will be a range of sessions covering paint and spray<br />
guns, polishing, plastic repair, dent pulling, welding, including<br />
plastic welding, and more.<br />
Good things come in threes, and new for 2023 will be Detailing<br />
Live, with education partner and curator of the programme,<br />
<strong>The</strong> UK Detailing Academy, inviting professionals to join them<br />
for practical demonstrations and discussions about the sector’s<br />
challenges and opportunities.<br />
Richard Hearn, UK sales director at Masterflo, said: “With so<br />
many exciting and informative segments specifically dedicated to<br />
bodyshop professionals set to take place at the show, it’s clear<br />
that Automechanika Birmingham is a must-attend event for those<br />
within the industry.<br />
“Bodyshop work is very much a visual art and therefore being<br />
able to offer visitors the opportunity to see the latest products<br />
and their capabilities during live demonstrations from some of<br />
the very best painters in the industry was extremely important<br />
to us. And we can’t wait to do just that at what’s lining up to be<br />
one of the biggest and best events in the automotive aftermarket<br />
calendar.”<br />
Automechanika Birmingham will also host the National Paint<br />
Championships, with the winner being announced in a live<br />
ceremony at the show on 7th June 2023.<br />
With the Championships being completely free to enter,<br />
automotive painters will be tasked with designing the most<br />
impressive car shell to showcase their classical paint technique,<br />
in a bid to be crowned National Paint Champion.<br />
