As technology moves forward paint finishes are changing on an everyday basis.
We have seen vast leaps & advances in normal coating colours.
Huge gains in effect coatings as well as advances in application. Just like
the I.T. industry the clock never stops.
Established in the mid eighties with a combined
experience & knowledge of more than seventy
years, we have ensured we are up to date with
the latest developments & products available.
Keeping in mind the enormous costs of most
of the vivid effects, specialist coatings a paints.
We utilise a comprehensive fixed price scheme
as a full guarantee ensuring that should any
guarantee ensuring that should any
unseen costs be incurred , they will be wholly &
totally covered by ourselves therefore ensuring
all of our customers complete & total peace of mind.
All operations are also fully insurance backed, though we have never had cause to utilise this.
Translucent Tint.
Candy Apple is a translucent coloured coating
which tints the coating underneath as opposed
covering it. Allowing the base coat or design to
show through the tint. Not a new product & has
been in use since the early 1950's...
Chrome Effect, very costly
product with very minimal
coverage / hiding power.
Applied over gloss black for most effective results & can go stripey if not laid on properly. Once this happens ! Time start again. Mainly aimed at much smaller projects. Not recommended !
Colour Shifting Chromaflair
Microscopic aluminium
shinny flakes coated with
Magnesium fluoride (semi
translucent). Best over a
dark base, preferably black.
The clever coloured prisms
allow light to pass through
& bounce of the dark base
refracting as it passes back
to the surface. (Very Clever)
Standard Pearlescent
Very subtle paint finish that
that acquired its name from
what it resembles, a pearl
Broadly used by all quality
car manufactures.Very vivid
& striking colour achievable
When applied over different
Ground coats, also widely
used on motor cycles...

Ink based Candy Apple
Very versatile product that can be mixed on our premises. Any colour combo
over any base coat colour of the customers choice or preference.
This makes the possibilities for this product almost endless. Just like ALL
effect coatings & finishes this is most dramatic in direct sun light.

Original Candy Apple
Initially develpoed in the early 50's, this effect has stood the test of time.
Utilised in many applications ( Mainly in America), this finish has found itself
on many products including Fun Fair rides .
. It can be quite troublesome to
apply because of it's opacity. Although applied properly, the result
is absolutely stunning. It can even be applied over a previous design, to tint the colours of the underlying layer. All in all an absolute favourite with custom painters that hold the skill to effectively apply it. Present day manufacturers are now applying these Candy based finishes.
