VIDEO DESCRIPTION
Factory paint, at its finest, is very good. Rolls Royce, Bentley, Range Rover Autobiography, the flagship saloons from Audi, BMW and Mercedes. This is the standard the industry is measured against.
We put our work beside it. Look closely at the reflections. A straight line stays straight. An edge holds.
That is the difference, and it does not need announcing.

MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTION
==================================================
There is a simple test for a paint finish, and it has nothing to do with shine. Anything can be made to shine. The real measure is what a reflection does when it crosses the panel. On an ordinary finish the reflected line softens, scatters, breaks apart at the edges. On a true finish it holds. A straight line stays straight. The reflection comes back like an image in glass.
We built this comparison around that one idea.
The vehicles here carry some of the finest factory paint in the world. Rolls Royce. Range Rover Autobiography, in blue and in grey. The flagship saloons and coupes from the German marques. None of them chosen at random. They are the benchmark, the ceiling of what a production line can achieve.
Then we set our own work in the same light, under the same reflections, and we ask you to look closely. Not at the colour. At the edges. At what a straight line does as it travels across the door, over the arch, along the sill. That is where the work lives, and that is where the difference is settled.
We have been doing this since 1992. Long enough to know the finish is not in the spray. It is in everything before it and everything after. The preparation, the patience, the correction, the refusal to sign off on a panel that is only good.
We will not tell you the result. The reflections do that better than we can.
Look closely, and you will know.
If you know, you know.
