🎨 Ever noticed how the best paint repairs are the ones you can't see?

That's exactly the goal here at Fourways. A great repair should vanish into the car, never draw your eye to it. But getting there takes more than just picking a colour off a chart... πŸ‘‡

Here's something a lot of people don't realise: an OEM paint code is only ever a starting point. Over the years, sun exposure, previous repairs and even factory variation mean the original formula often won't match the panel sitting in front of us today.

So how do we get it spot on? ✨

That's where spectro matching comes in. By reading the live colour on your car, we build a match to what's actually there right now β€” not just what left the factory decades ago.

But the colour is only half the story. In our booth, we carefully prepare and blend into the surrounding panels so the repair fades naturally across the bodywork β€” no hard edges, no obvious transitions. Just a seamless, sympathetic finish.

For us, preserving the character of a well-kept classic matters every bit as much as the finish itself. πŸš—πŸ’›

Whether you're after a paint match to original spec in Maidstone, or classic car paint matching near Royal Tunbridge Wells, we'd love to help.

πŸ”§ Engine trouble? Let's start with answers, not assumptions. πŸ”§

Here at Fourways, we believe a proper engine rebuild begins with really understanding your engine β€” so you know exactly what it needs and why. No guesswork, no surprises.

From compression testing and strip-down inspection to machining, precise assembly and that all-important first fire-up, every stage is handled with the craftsmanship, authenticity and reliability our Kent workshop is known for. πŸš—πŸ’¨

For classic cars, that often means preserving originality where it truly matters. For modern vehicles, it's about restoring dependable performance with clear, practical advice every step of the way.

Along the way, we'll:
βœ… Explain our findings in plain English
βœ… Outline the full scope so you're never in the dark
βœ… Keep communication open from start to finish
βœ… Share sensible running-in advice, so your engine gets the best possible start β€” and you know how to protect your investment from day one

Trying to decide whether to rebuild, repair or replace? We'll help you make the right call based on condition, intended use and long-term value β€” not guesswork. πŸ‘

πŸ’¬ We'd love to hear from you! Got a question about your engine, or an old classic you're hoping to bring back to life? Drop us a comment below β€” we're always happy to chat!

πŸ‚ Autumn is on its way β€” and let's be honest, it's not kind to our beloved classics! πŸš—

Now's the perfect time to protect what you simply can't replace. Here at Fourways, we help owners like you stay one step ahead of corrosion with careful underbody inspections and preservation work tailored to your car.

A quick check of the sills, wheel arches and chassis rails before the weather turns can reveal early rust, trapped moisture and failing protection β€” long before they turn into costly repairs down the line. πŸ”§

Where it's needed, we'll assess cavity waxing and undersealing as part of a sensible, sympathetic plan β€” always preserving the character that makes your classic so special.

With over 50 years of experience in classic vehicle restorations across Maidstone and Sevenoaks, our workshop blends time-tested techniques with honest, clear communication and meticulous attention to detail. Whether your car needs a little preventative care or a closer look at existing corrosion, we'll always tell you exactly what we find and recommend the right next step. βœ…

πŸ’¬ So tell us β€” how do you get your classic ready for the colder months? We'd love to hear your tips in the comments!

Got a question about protecting your pride and joy? Drop us a message below or give us a call on πŸ“ž01732 884288 β€” we're always happy to chat classics.

This Z was built by us a number of years ago. It then went on to be sold by us on behalf of the old owner. The new owner brought it and tasked us with the job of creating the ideal Z for them with their specifications.
The car is currently on its way to South America to compete in the Hero Era β€œGaucho trail motor challenge 2026”. A deadline was given to us, we set about ordering all the new requested parts which came from multiple countries.
Working alongside our list which had been discussed with the customer to ensure all details had been covered. All the works that we carried out had been completed on time. The car has been on multiple test drives, tuning sessions and tracking days to guarantee the best outcome for the customer. Mainly making sure we were happy with the final product and something we could be proud of.
Countless hours and long nights have gone into this build as it had to be done to set sail to South America. We would like to wish the customer the best of luck on the event.

Every job is approached with craftsmanship, authenticity and real attention to detail, so the result always feels considered, never overdone.
