STEP 3

ORDER PARTS

STEP 4

PANEL BEATING / MECHANICAL

This is the most crucial part of the process and must be done meticulously. Our expert team will ensure the highest quality work so that your vehicle is restored and safe to drive.

STEP 5

PAINT PREP

Once we've worked our magic on those panels, it's time to give them a fresh coat of paint. We start with a protective primer to ensure durability. Then, our team smoothes and sands the surfaces until they're perfect to ensure a flawless paint finish.

STEP 6

SPRAY PAINTING

Before we spray, we scientifically match the colour to your vehicle's original shade, even if it's faded. Then, we head to our paint booth for painting. We filter the air to keep it clean, remove particles, ensuring a flawless finish. After painting, we bake the panels at 60°C, to make that fresh paint stick for good.

STEP 7

ASSEMBLY

Existing, and new parts are fitted and your vehicle is reassembled. Panels are aligned and your vehicle is thoroughly checked for safety and compliance as well as workmanship.
