This two-year program covers all aspects of auto body repair from estimating to a complete paint job. Students learn to analyze different types of body damage and to restore vehicles to their original appearance. Students will be taught to weld, straighten a frame, repair fiberglass, use plastic filler, complete hand and power sanding, spray paint and replace movable glass. Students also are trained on a computerized paint mixing system to custom mix paint.

Virginia Beach City Public Schools ensures equal access to all CTE courses. Accessibility accommodations will be provided as needed.
