Recent work, stage by stage.

Photographs from the workshop, taken by the people doing the work. Most jobs are shown part way through, masked up or in primer, because that is when you can see what has actually been done.

These are the shop’s own photographs from its Google profile. No registration plates are shown.

A full respray, start to finish

Red coupe

The whole car rather than one panel. Masked, taken back to primer where the old paint had gone, then painted in its own red and left to cure.

In the booth

Grey saloon

A grey saloon mid-coat. The rear quarter is the job; everything else on the car is under paper and film so no paint lands where it should not.
