Six decades of commitment to quality - JAC Motors & Kyle Smith.

Although JAC Motors might be new to Australia, our story goes back 60 years.

Unlike most Ute brands in Australia, JAC first started making trucks. This is what sets us apart from competitors. We combine six decades of expertise in designing and manufacturing heavy-duty commercial vehicles to create a driving experience that pairs the luxury and comfort of a passenger car with the rugged durability of a truck.

JAC has conquered the world’s toughest terrain, selling vehicles in over 130 countries. Now, JAC is set to launch the T9 Ute in Australia. Designed specifically with the Australian market in mind the T9 combines off-road capability with strong presence and kerbside appeal.

Kyle’s a true industry leader in custom painting and pinstriping. Someone who shares our values and ambitions to deliver the highest quality product every single time. After sharing JAC’s story, Kyle understood the importance of this milestone and was the natural choice to partner with for this project.

Kyle Smith, custom pinstriper at Smith Concepts in Brookvale, Sydney:

“When JAC first approached me about creating a one-off custom design to go on a select T9 Ute, I was extremely excited. The Ute is a beautiful canvas and quite different from our day-to-day work of custom hot rods and choppers.

When we sat down to chat about 60 years of JAC, I knew that I wanted to use 23-karat gold leaf to highlight what the brand is upholding in terms of commitment and quality.

The surrounding pinstriping is completed by hand in the traditional technique. Using this free-form style, we could accentuate the Ute's body lines and complement the gold leaf logo in the centre.

We think it turned out great, and we’re excited for people to see it.”
