Jaguar XK120 Drophead Coupe repairs to door skins and rear wings

Almost every item of work we undertake throws up a set of challenges, both new and old.

Jaguar XK120 Drophead Coupe in for discreet, but reasonably major repairs

In this case we are required to repair the doors and wings only. This throws up the challenge of matching the colour of the original paintwork.

Whilst we embrace - and it is an essential part of our process - the colour spectrometer our colours are also eye tinted in an approximate percentage ratio of 90% to 10%. The 10% is the icing on the cake, the final detail that elevates our work from other businesses.

How to properly restore a Bristol 400 wheel

Often wheels  are powder coated and that is the extent of their "restoration".

Although it takes more time we believe in grit blasting, spray filling, sanding and then paint priming the wheel for a totally superb finish.
