The company has played a crucial role in his preparation, offering specialised training at their state-of-the-art facility in Midrand, Gauteng.

This support from BASF and Glasurit is a testament to the power of collaboration and shared goals in achieving success.
Aside from his remarkable technical abilities, Kai’s dedication to his personal project car, which he is currently restoring, is truly inspiring. This hobby not only showcases his deep love for automotive work but also his unwavering commitment to perfecting his craft. His personal project stands as a testament to his dedication and enthusiasm, qualities that have undoubtedly contributed to his success.
As Kai competes in France, his story serves as an inspiring example of how talent, hard work, and support can overcome barriers and lead to extraordinary achievements. BASF is honoured to be a part of this journey and looks forward to seeing Kai’s continued success in the world of automotive spray painting.
