Insights from the team
Hear from our apprentices.
What I enjoy most about my apprenticeship? I always wanted to do something creative. I can do that now! What I like most is the finishing work and painting parts that you later see on the motorbikes on the road.
In addition to wet painting, we also practise powder coating. Craftsmanship and a precise way of working are therefore important prerequisites, even though a large part of the painting process is now automatic.
