Is This You?
Whether you're preserving a classic, tidying up a long-loved motor, or just want your car to look right, this page is for you.
✔ You’ve got a classic car, camper or cherished daily — and it’s showing its age
✔ You’ve started restoring but need a professional finish
✔ You care about the look, not just the roadworthiness
✔ You’ve done the DIY bits — but want someone trusted to handle the body
✔ Or maybe you’ve just got a good car with tired paint or minor dents you want sorted out
If any of that rings true, you're our kind of customer.
Why Restoration Work Deserves a Different Approach
For classics, campervans and cars with a bit of history (and a lot of heart)
Some cars are more than just transport.
They're your pride and joy. Your project. Your dad’s old car. A rolling memory. Or just a damn good bit of engineering that deserves to keep going.
That’s why we treat restoration work differently.
It’s proper work, done properly.
And if you want a second opinion before committing — we’re always happy to take a look and talk you through your options.
What makes it special:
Precision matters
Shape, lines and paint tone have to feel authentic
Age shows
So we account for faded finishes, rust patterns, and paint formulations that haven’t existed in decades
No rush jobs
We take the time to get it right, whether it’s one panel or a full body rebuild
Blending and feathering
when full resprays aren’t needed, but colour still has to match
Respect for what’s already been done
We’ll pick up where you left off, and never undo what works
Powder Coating an option
We can also apply Rhino Elite Coatings to help with rust protection, long-term durability, and finish integrity — especially for underbody areas, trims and exposed metals
What We Can Do (for Restoration Projects)
We’re not in the business of guessing or glossing over. If something’s not worth doing, we’ll say so.
If it is worth doing — we’ll do it properly.
Whether you’re midway through a restoration or just starting to think about one, here’s what we can offer:
From small dings to larger repairs, we’ll restore the form of original body panels — or replace where needed, always preserving the original silhouette where possible.
Panel work & reshaping
We can match aged paint tones and blend seamlessly into surrounding panels. No hard edges or mismatched finishes — we get it right, so the car looks whole again.
Paint correction & colour matching
If you’re going all-in, we’ll deliver a full respray in your choice of colour (original or modern). If you’re working in phases, we’ll help you plan panel-by-panel.
Full or staged resprays
We treat affected areas, prepare surfaces properly, and use quality materials to give your restoration real longevity — not just a shiny surface.
Rust and corrosion treatment
We’re happy to help refit trims, badges and extras — especially when they’re delicate or irreplaceable. If you’ve got original bits, we’ll treat them with respect.
Refit & detail support
Underbody components, suspension parts, brake callipers and more can all benefit from powder or Cerakote finishes — ideal for cars that’ll be stored, shown, or used year-round.
Rhino Elite Coatings for protection
Cosmetic Upgrades & Resprays
For when you want your car to look fresher, sharper, newer — or just more “you”.
Maybe the paint’s faded. Maybe the last owner didn’t take care of it.
Maybe you’ve fixed the mechanicals and now it’s time to sort the outside. Or maybe you’ve just got a good car that deserves to look as good as it drives.
We do that too — and we do it well.
