Restoration services

We tackle some of the most challenging bodywork issues on VW T3/T25’s, including the well-documented seam issue. Our proven techniques can solve classic Volkswagen bodywork problems and stabilise the issue to reduce future corrosion.

 

We have invested in a newly developed zinc metal spraying system for the treatment of seams and other repairs for your bus. This will be a game-changer for the seam rash issues the VW T25/T3’s are so prone to!

Our bodywork and restoration techniques

  • Panels are zinc primed with the world’s best quality MCU Technology paint
  • Repair is zinc primed straight away
  • All corrosion areas are blasted using a SA2.5 near white metal standard
  • All exterior seams are sealed using 2 pack sealers
  • VW specification PVC based sealer is applied to all underside repairs
  • A flexible anti-corrosion wax is applied as a topcoat to underside repairs
  • All interior cavities are wax injected at the point of repair
  • Panel finishing is an involved process, and all bare metal is etch primed
  • Any filling is kept to a minimum, and all repairs are sealed with a waterproof carbon-based filler first
  • The whole vehicle is etch primed, followed by at least two coats of high build primer
  • Topcoats are applied to the colour/finish requirements set by the customer but normally, we recommend clear coat lacquer over coloured base colour
