Stage
1: Dismantle Completely, Body free of
any parts, glass, upholstery, wires and detached from
the pan if possible. |
| |
 |
Stage
2: Sandblast, all rust and tight areas
and or completely as necessary, this step is very important
for estimating and building a clean solid base to work
with. In some cases dipping the shell is recommended instead
of sandblasting. |

 |
Stage
3: Rust repair, is the most important
and most demanding phase of body restoration. Rust repair
with N.O.S, used, after-market or hand made metal parts
are a fact of just about any project. Your car is worked
on by someone who is a VW Body Specialist, who can identify
and repair key rust points. Click on picture to view

4: Collision Repair, Front, Rear, Side,
Top or Rollovers are not a problem for us or for you.
If you really love your car, it can always be repaired,
thanks to VW engineering. We help to ensure the well-being
of the "family member" who lives in the garage.

Stage
5: Primer. Very important since this will be
a new barrier sealing everything done through Stage 4.
The primer coat is a reflection of what was done, and
it becomes the new surface to be worked with until it
is time to paint. |
| |
 |
Stage 6: Prep to Paint,
requiring a very patient and meticulous person to go over
and over the work done by the body man until it's ready
for the painter, who will turn the last surface into what
will finally reflect all the work put into your car. |
| |
 |
Stage
7: Painting. The body is fully inspected
by the painter before he starts; only a VW specialist
painter knows where your car needs paint the most. |
| |
 |
Stage
8: Polishing. The body is fully inspected by
the painter before he starts to sand the new paint, normally
we apply 4 coats of paint and during the polishing process
of sanding 2 to 3 different times with different grades
of ultra fine wet sand paper, a coat of paint will be
lost but when buffing begins, again using 3 different
grades of polishing compound, the Glass Mirror Finish
will reflect all the hours and intense meticulous labor. |
