Novol for Classic Car – 8 Step Restoration Process

1 – BODYWORK PRIMER

A Temporary anti-corrosion bodywork primer is applied to aid protection of body repairs following bare metal or chemical stripping of the body shell prior to weld in repairs and/or new body panels.

2 – EPOXY FILLER

A permeant anti-corrosion epoxy premier is applied following panel beating and preparation to give a solid, rust free base for paint finishes.

3 – BODY FILLING

Rebuilding of original body contour begins using elastic fibre aluminium blue light fillers – where the real work takes place!

4 – FINAL BODY CONTOURING

P-S Aluminium is used for the final body contouring prior to top coating, here the final fettling takes place; the bodywork must be exact prior to the next stage.

5 – ISOLATOR PRIMER

The use of an isolator primer solidifies the preparation coats before moving on to final priming coats and the application of colour.

6 – ACYLIC FILLER

Acylic filler is wet applied before the final top coat to the freshly restored vehicle, the acrylic allows the top coat to key to the surface below.

7 – SOLID TOP COAT

Surly anyones favourite part of a restoration or respray, the car begins to have character again after the application of the chosen top coat colour.

8 – PREMIUM CLEAR COAT

Following top coat a clear coat, usually referred to as top coat, clear coat or lacquer is applied to the solid coat colour, this is the vehicles final coat in the spray booth.
