IDA Webinar: History of Automotive Paints: How to Work on Museum and Collectible Vehicles – A Body Shop Perspective (MTE Encore)

Date & Time: Thursday, March 19, 2026 at 12:00 pm CDT

Presented By:

Robert "Bob" Wrasman, CD-SV, RIT
International Trainer, Car Brite

Speaker Bio:
Bob has been painting cars for over 45 years. He's had the privilege and the blessings to work at some of the finest and largest museums. He's also painted several cars and still to this day paints cars, and consults with museums and collectibles. Sometimes he even does work for the people, like a jaguar he just recently finished.

Session Description:
Everyone would love to work on some of the coolest cars in the world. The problem is having the knowledge and the confidence to approach these types of vehicles. This class will give you an inside view of what to do. You will learn the different types of paint encountered in a museum or private collection, which is different than what you may encounter every day. Knowing the difference, you will be able to identify when and when not to work on different paints.
