Panel and full-body resprays in an oven-baked booth for a factory-grade finish.

Insurance Work

Full restorations

Ground-up rebuilds, start to finish

Bodywork is only half of what we do. We take tired classics back to bare metal, repair the rot, rebuild the panels and refinish them to better than new. Follow three of our builds from start to finish.

What our customers say

Reviewed and recommended

A few words from people whose cars we have looked after.

★★★★★
"I drove into Carsmetics with my front bumper which had hit a post. The owner took a look, asked me to park up, then came back with the material to polish the marks out there and then. This is the second time I have used them and I highly recommend them."
