Geely Auto UK approves Glasurit for EV refinishing, underscoring quality and sustainability standards

The growing presence of New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) is reshaping automotive refinish requirements, placing higher demands on quality standards, color accuracy, and process efficiency. With its latest approval from Geely Auto UK, Glasurit, a premium refinish brand of BASF Coatings, strengthens its collaboration with the OEM and underscores a shared commitment to precision, efficiency, and sustainable body shop operations.

As a leader in EV refinishing solutions, BASF Coatings supports body shops in meeting evolving OEM requirements through advanced technologies and reliable color performance. Central to the approval is Glasurit AraClass 100 Line, an advanced waterborne basecoat system developed to deliver consistent color accuracy, high repair quality, and a reduced environmental footprint in daily workshop operations.

For body shops, the approval goes beyond product performance. It supports more efficient repair processes, greater consistency in results, and long-term alignment with OEM standards, key factors as NEV volumes continue to grow across markets.

Commenting on the approval, Sally Jones, Managing Director, BASF Coatings UK Limited, said:
“We’re incredibly proud to see our refinish technologies recognised through this approval with Geely Auto UK. It’s a strong signal of where the industry is heading, and the role we’re playing in shaping it.”

The approval reflects the joint focus of Glasurit and Geely Auto UK on future-ready refinishing solutions designed to support high-quality repairs, operational efficiency, and sustainable development in the automotive refinish industry.
