Tips for a perfect finish

Every good finish - even a good refinishing job - is a small work of art and, among other things, it requires experience and craftsmanship. To enable you to benefit from our experience, we have compiled some useful tips and items of information for you here. Nevertheless, if what you require is a high-grade finish for your vintage car, you really should put your beauty into professional hands.

The basis of a perfect paint job is the substrate. Especially in the case of vintage cars, problems may be waiting to surface here. What is to be done if the substrate is sensitive to solvents? How are thermoplastic acrylic OEM coatings to be refinished? Why does a paint defect occur and how can it be prevented? On these subjects too, we have compiled some useful tips and items of information for you.

Our advice: Everyone who has already done a paint job himself or herself knows how time-consuming and difficult it is to produce a really good finish. Often, what is lacking is expertise, for instance as regards what paint is compatible with what type of substrate. There’s a lack of suitable facilities and technical equipment. And, not least, the necessary training is lacking too. It is more economical to have the paint jobs done by experts, and the results are also of a higher quality.
