************************************************
IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE, WE CAN ARRANGE SHOT, BEAD OR VAPOUR BLASTING AND POWDER COATING
We are familiar with all the new styles of paint such as 'chameleon' colour-shift paints (as seen on TVRs etc), holographic particle paints (like the old metalflake, but with each flake being a color-changing hologram (not as expensive as it sounds!); candy colours (a coloured lacquer applied over a silver or pearlescent base-the only way it is possible to achieve a true, vibrant metallic red for example.)Also, new to the uk is the new 'chrome' paint, details of which can be found on the manufacturers' website: www.alsacorp.com. There are many other special effects available as well as all the standard solids, metallics, pearls and micas; just ask!
Although it is very labour intesive, slightly dearer and takes a bit longer, everything we paint whether it is a single bike tank, or a complete car, is hand flatted until the final coat is completely smooth, then the gloss is brought up with compounds and polishes resulting in a mirror like shine.
If you watch Discovery Channel 'American Hotrod' or some of the bike programmes you will get the idea. We don't do 'orange-peel' factory finishes! For this reason we tend to avoid accident repairs and quick-turnaround insurance work. There are plenty of excellent bodyshops around that can repair your standard car to original spec. We just go that little bit further!
This is important on classics where the 'fresh, new, paint' look is undesirable, but equally important on bikes where the areas of paint, although relatively small, are the focus of attention.
