Accidents can result in thousands of damaged vehicles each day. Some vehicles may be totaled beyond repair, however many still can be repaired and fixed to look and run like new.
In this program, the student learns MIG welding skills, hand tools and their uses, collision and plastic repair, refinishing and painting techniques for surface materials, and damage estimating. The auto body student will analyze damage to uni-body structures, look up manufacturer’s paint codes, and mix the correct colors of paint. An understanding of mixing ratios and proportions of refinishing products will be covered in the program. A state of the art down-draft spray booth is available for the development of refinishing skills.
