Passenger door badly damaged on this Vauxhall Mokka.
Our customer sourced their own used door and had it delivered directly to Scratchmaster but in Blue not silver.
We stripped the old door of the parts we needed to re-use, items such as door card, wiring loom, locking system etc.
The interior of the replacement used door was stripped and prepared for painting silver. When this was complete we hung the door and prepared all the exterior panels for paint.
Once fully painted all the fittings were put back and the car fully flatted and polished.
This way our customer was able to get a good quality repair to quite a bad damage without making an insurance claim and saving around £1000+.

A new section is supplied to us by Nottingham TPS and Jason gets busy welding the new sill into place.

VW T6 Paint Repair

Having previously been repaired and painted elsewhere 18 months ago we had this T6 into the Scratchmaster workshop for some minor repairs but mostly for colour correction.
Our spectro camera returned six different colour variations on different panels that had been painted before.
Additionally several panels had been painted using old fashioned ‘top coat’ paint which had faded badly.
The VW panels were so many different shades of yellow that it was difficult choosing which to match to.
After 2 days of painting test cards and head scratching we decided on the colour variant and started preparing all the panels for paint.
Bumpers, trims, handles and bonnet etc all removed and painted off the vehicle.

Previously repaired/painted roof, bonnet and tailgate.
All previously repaired areas have reacted and the paint is literally falling off and what hadn't already fallen off needed taking off.
Roof in particular was very bad.
With all the previous repairs removed we re-repaired the roof, bonnet and tailgate.
Re-primed and left to stand for a few days to allow any solvents to evaporate.
Then flatted and painted with Syrox water based colour and given 2-3 coats of new lacquer.
We decided to air-dry this paint job given the previous poor quality materials that had been used to avoid any solvent issues.
Finally machine polished and it did... -

Just a few pics to show this 1996 Vauxhall Astra in our workshop for us to sort some peeling lacquer from a previous repair.
The car is in great condition with only around 20k genuine miles on the clock.
The owner wanted the peeling lacquer removing and re-painting with the type of paint that would have originally been used.
When new, the car would have been painted using a Top Coat paint system which unlike todays paint systems is paint and lacquer all in one product. Today paint and lacquer is applied separately.
We removed the previous paint and after a lot of preparation we re-painted the car using a quality Sikkens LV351 Red Topcoat.
