In the Automotive sector we deal with professional businesses repairing accident damaged vehicles, restoration specialists, car sales & minor repairers, SMART repairers, Alloy Wheel repairers, Motorbike repairers and DIY people who need a spot of touch up or an aerosol for home use.

Because the requirements are so different, we offer a wide selection of products to meet conditions, legislative requirements, speed of use, colour availability, health & safety needs etc.
We will match colours for you, usually within 48 hours (however some colours need a bit more time, especially when matching water-based colour)

We not only sell paint products, but anything needed for you to do the job. This includes Personal Protective Equipment (PPE, masks, coveralls, gloves etc), Masking products (paper, sheeting, tape, specialist tapes etc), solvents, cleaning products, mixing containers, clearcoats, hardeners, primers, bodyfillers (fillers, stoppers, bridging fillers etc), sprayguns for most budgets (inc airlines, spares, fittings), aerosol options, wipers, polishing cloths, compounds, polish, valeting products, abrasives for sanders, hand blocking, wet and dry papers, polishing abrasive systems, specialist SMART products to name a few.
