The finished paintwork on any car is one of the most visible parts of a restoration. We take pride in the excellent finish of our work which we achieve through paintstaking preparation and dedication to the pursuit of excellence.
Our superb facilities provide us with the ability to produce high quality paintwork, either in perfectly reproduced original colours using correct cellulose paints by traditional processes, or in our modern spray bake booth using the current two-pack paint technology of modern vehicles. This two-pack paint technology provides a better corrosion protection.

Woodworks
Classic Car Service offers restoration of woodwork on a concours level, using veneer and polish. Wooden interiors have often deteriorated which causes the veneer to be damaged or completely perished. At Classic Car Service many dashboards have either been repaired by saving the original veneer and keeping its original authenticity or have been entirely replaced, matching the grain of the original veneer as best as possible. To obtain the warm colour and shine of the dashboard we finish of with polishing.
We can offer a complete woodwork repair service, from wood trim restoration, re-lacquering, re-veneering and repair work, to re-manufacturing and ash framing. We replace damaged or rotten ash frames where required, or rebuild the complete frame of the car back to its original specifications.
