Kansai Plascon Uganda used this year’s Kampala Auto Show to promote its range of vehicle paints, as the three-day event closed at Kololo Independence Grounds on Sunday.

The company, better known in Uganda for decorative and architectural paint, was a co-sponsor of the show for the third year running.

Its stand displayed products used in vehicle finishing, repair and refurbishment. Staff spoke to visitors about paint application, body finishing and paint care.

Daniel Kayongo, head of marketing at Kansai Plascon Uganda, said the event allowed the firm to deal directly with motorists, mechanics and spray painters.

“Many people know Plascon for decorative and architectural paints,” he said, adding that the company also made products for vehicle repair and refinishing.

He said the firm’s aim at the show was education and product awareness, and that it wanted to encourage motorists to use genuine automotive paint and trained applicators.

Fifth edition

The show ran from 17 to 19 July and was the fifth to be held. It brought together car dealers, mechanics, motorsport drivers, insurers and asset-financing firms, alongside enthusiasts and families.

Visitors saw electric, vintage and custom vehicles. The programme included drifting, drag racing, stunt displays and vehicle maintenance workshops.

Exhibitors also used the event to discuss servicing, spare parts, insurance and financing with the public.

Organisers describe the show as one of Uganda’s largest motoring events, combining trade, entertainment and motorsport.
