Motor Vehicle Body Repairer and Painter [New Brunswick Community College, NBCC]

If you like the idea of a car makeover, and if you have patience and are detail-oriented, our Motor Vehicle Body Repairer and Painter program is for you. Learn how to repair and restore damaged motor vehicle body parts and interior finishing components, repaint body surfaces and repair and replace automotive glass. You can then work your magic on both mock-ups and real customer vehicles in a fully-equipped shop. We teach you how to operate manual, electric and pneumatic tools to straighten, sand, remove and replace metal auto body panels and chassis components. But that’s just one aspect of what you will learn – you’ll also receive training in welding, body filler application and fibreglass repair, as well as priming and painting. By the end of the program, you’ll be able to evaluate repair situations, choose the tools and equipment required to apply proper repair techniques to get the job done.
