Panel beating and paint that disappears.
A repair has only worked if you can't find it afterwards. That means the panel is straight before any paint goes near it, and the colour is read off your car rather than guessed from a code.
Colour matching
Your paint code is a starting point, not an answer.
Two cars off the same production line, the same code, five years apart in the Cape sun — and the paint is no longer the same colour. Spray to the code alone and the repaired panel sits next to the old one looking almost right, which is worse than looking wrong.
We read the actual panel with a spectrophotometer, mix to that reading in-house, spray a test card, and check it against your car in daylight before anything is committed. Then we blend into the neighbouring panels so the transition has nowhere to show.
- Measured, mixed and tested. Every colour is sprayed onto a card and checked in daylight against the car before we commit.
- Blended, not butted. Paint is faded out into adjacent panels so there's no hard edge for the eye to catch.
- Baked, then cut and polished. A low-bake oven cures the finish properly, then it's flatted and machine-polished to match the factory gloss.
How it's done
Four stages, none of them skipped.
The temptation in this trade is to fill and paint. That looks good for a year and then tells on you.
-
Strip & assess
Trim and fittings come off so we can see the full extent, not just what shows from three metres.
-
Metalwork
The panel is beaten and worked back to shape first. Filler levels a surface — it doesn't fix one.
-
Prime & paint
Etch primer, colour matched basecoat and clear, sprayed in a filtered booth and oven cured.
-
Finish
Reassembled, cut and polished, then washed and checked in daylight before you see it.
What we take on
From a supermarket scrape to a bare shell.
Scratch & Scuff Repair
Key marks, gate posts and car park scrapes. Usually a spot repair on one panel, back with you the next day.
Full Resprays
Whole-car refinishing in the original colour or a change of colour, with the shell stripped and prepared properly.
Rust Treatment
Corrosion cut out and new metal let in and welded — not covered over with filler and hoped for.
