Paintwork is a science

There are some cars that are almost inseparable from the famous colours they are associated with, and restoring the original magnificence of a vehicle’s factory finish is the ultimate tribute to its designers and its long history. Just as important as the paintwork’s aesthetic function are the practical benefits of well chosen and applied paintwork, which can help ensure that a car’s legacy continues well into the future, protecting it from the rigours of life on the road and the damage done by weather, oil, salt and other harsh chemicals. With this in mind, we at Carrosserie consider the paintwork to be one of the most important elements in restoring a classic car, which is why we strived to become recognised paintwork specialists who understand the importance of a methodical and rigorous approach to painting your vehicle.

Paintwork Restoration

We love to see ourselves as a restoration company that helps art meet craft, but paintwork is a science, and like everything we do we believe that taking the time to apply it properly and methodically is the best way to achieve the quality your vehicle deserves. Sometimes that means stripping a car’s bodywork back to its bare bones to treat and paint each part individually, to ensure that no spots are missed that could create future problems.

Partial or Full Resprays

This intricate work requires specialised skills to accurately replicate historical colour schemes and finishes. We can also accommodate all modern car paintwork repairs, from minor bumps and scratches to a complete vehicle respray.

RUST REPAIR

Rust can pose a significant challenge in classic cars. Our experienced mechanics employ a range of techniques to effectively treat and repair rust, often using traditional methods to preserve the vehicle's authenticity.
