While the main attraction of the 2024 Sydney Hot Rod & Custom Auto Expo (25th – 26th May, 9am to 5pm) will definitely be the hundreds of spectacular vehicles on display, many showgoers will also be making it a priority to visit the onsite PPG stand, according to custom car enthusiast and PPG CT Manager NSW, Sam Minter. “Going on past experience, the PPG stand is going to be incredibly busy throughout the weekend. Last year we had a huge cross section of people who dropped in – everything from young kids and custom car novices, through to people building their own project at home, professional builders and even PPG collision repair customers.”
Spread around the beautiful Rosehill Gardens Racecourse, the Hot Rod and Custom Auto Expo is the largest of its kind in NSW, featuring elite level hot rods and street machines, custom motorcycles, show and shine, trade alley and entertainment for all ages. It’s the perfect place to check out a vast cross section of custom paint jobs and then quiz a PPG expert on the finer points of achieving an epic finish. “No matter what level they are at, people are keen to take advantage of the knowledge on offer from the onsite PPG team and being able to talk with an expert face-to-face. It means they can ask questions and get an instant response. It’s also great for our team, who get a real buzz out of helping people better understand the paint process and why certain products are used at certain times.," Minter says
PPG has custom car building legend, Howard Astill, from Astill Design, on the stand to pass on his incredible knowledge and experience. If that is not enough, visitors can also check out the colour display of PPG’s VIBRANCE COLLECTION®range of custom paint finishes, along with regular demonstrations of the latest MIRKA abrasive and polishing technologies.
