Luxury car work is often about restraint. The repair should respect the original design, preserve the visual balance of the vehicle and return a finish that belongs — without overstatement.

That calls for careful assessment, disciplined preparation and close attention to the details around the repaired area. Colour, texture, gloss and alignment all contribute to whether the result feels right.

From modern prestige cars to established grand tourers, the standard remains the same: treat the whole vehicle, not just the isolated panel.

Discuss your bodywork or paint requirements with the team.

Classic cars were designed to move, and good restoration work should help them return to the road with confidence.

Body alignment, corrosion repair, panel fit and paint preparation all contribute to more than appearance. They shape how complete and coherent the car feels when it is finally back together.

Every project has a different starting point, so the right scope begins with inspection and an honest conversation about condition, originality and intended use.

What classic would you choose for a proper weekend drive?

Great paintwork starts long before the spray gun comes out.

This is the colour bank in our workshop - one part of the preparation behind paintwork, refinishing and restoration projects.

A restoration can be beautiful without turning a car into a museum piece.

For many owners, the real reward is using the finished vehicle — hearing it run, watching the miles build and adding new memories to its history. That intended use should be part of the plan from the beginning, guiding decisions around bodywork, finish, materials and durability.

This Monte Carlo-prepared Alfa captures the point perfectly: careful work, then a proper adventure.

Would your restored classic be shown, driven or a little of both?

A bold colour makes every preparation choice visible. Panel shape, edge definition and consistency across the car all have to support the finish.

The result should feel intentional from every angle — not just under workshop lights or in one carefully chosen photograph. That is why a paint project begins with planning: condition, dismantling, repair requirements, finish choice and the details that will complete the car.

If you are considering a colour-led build or complete refinish, talk to us about the vehicle and the look you have in mind.

Beautiful bodywork is about how every surface flows into the next. On a car with strong curves and long reflections, small inconsistencies become easy to see.

That is why repair shape, preparation and paint application must be considered together. The colour attracts attention; the quality of the finish is what keeps it.

Whether the requirement is a localised repair or broader refinishing, our first step is to understand the damage, the existing finish and the standard the vehicle needs.

Send the team clear photographs to begin the conversation.

Modern classics are reaching the point where the small original details matter more than ever.

Stripes, badges, trim, wheel finishes and period-correct colour choices all contribute to the car people remember. Body and paint work should support those features, not overwhelm them.

This Es**rt XR3i is a reminder that preservation is as much about judgement as technique: know what to protect, what to refresh and where a heavy-handed approach would lose the story.

What modern classic deserves more appreciation?

The right treatment begins with diagnosis, not a menu.

Paint depth, previous repairs, contamination, swirl marks, scratches and the way the vehicle is used all influence what will deliver the best result. One car may need targeted enhancement and protection; another may require bodywork, refinishing or a more involved restoration plan.

That is why we start by inspecting the vehicle, listening to the owner and agreeing the priorities before recommending a package. You should understand what is being proposed, what it can achieve and where the limits are.

Arrange a no-obligation inspection at The Big Red Shed and let us build the right plan for your car.

What a day Bawtry Supercar Sunday turned out to be!

We were blown away by the turnout, with Bawtry packed with incredible cars, huge crowds and a fantastic atmosphere throughout the day.

A massive thank you from all of the Automotive Finesse team to everyone who came along, stopped for a chat, showed us their cars and supported the event. It was great to see so many familiar faces and meet plenty of new ones too.

If you were there, we’d love to hear what you thought. Drop your photos in the comments and let us know your favourite car from the day.

Same time, same place next year?
