With over 300 extraordinary vehicles, displayed against the magnificent backdrop of the Rosehill Gardens Racecourse, the 2023 Sydney Hot Rod & Custom Auto Expo (27 – 28 May) is set to exceed all expectations, says show organiser, Andy Minas. “Around two months out from the event we already had a full house of entrants. There are a lot of new cars and the overall standard of entrants is incredible so I think we are going to blow fans out of the water this year. It’s so big we had to secure another show hall to fit the HSV Super Show which involves around 60 cars from the HSV Owners Club of NSW.”
One of the show’s key aims is to inspire and encourage a new generation that will grow hot rodding and custom car building from the grassroots and PPG has tailored its onsite stand to help guide builders through the paint process, whether they are younger or more ‘mature’, says custom car enthusiast and PPG CT Manager NSW, Sam Minter.
“For this year’s PPG stand we have designed a program that revolves around fan interaction, including a star attraction. As well as the ability to chat one-on-one with an experienced and knowledgeable PPG expert, we have secured a huge drawcard for visitors with custom car building legend Howard Astill, from Astill Design, appearing for meet and greet sessions throughout the two days. More than ever, the PPG stand is the perfect place to ask questions and get the lowdown on achieving a dream finish on your next project. To help them along the way, visitors can actually see examples of the dazzling colour palette available from PPG’s VIBRANCE COLLECTION range of custom paint finishes, as well as take in one of the regular demonstrations of the latest MIRKA abrasive and polishing technologies.”
