Panelwork –
The traditional art of Lead Loading is still practiced by the panel Technicians at Sovereign Coachworks Ltd.
Lead Loading gives a highly durable, corrosion resistant metal finish to repaired or partly repaired panels. Lead is also used where strength needs to be retained in panel finishing.
Real Panel Beating! – Our craftsmen reshape damaged panels using the time honoured skill of panel beating. This entails using special hammers and hand weights which are shaped to fit the desired shape of the finished panel.
Chassis Alignment –
With access to a Universal Bracket Jig, our panel technicians are able to measure and align new or damaged chassis members to within a tolerance of .5mm (.020”), which far exceeds the original manufacturer’s specification in many cases.
We haven’t found a car yet that we can’t load onto the Jig!
Paintwork –
Our main paint supplier is Standox. They were originally Berger Paints and have records of original colours going back as far as the early 1930’s!
We have developed a good reputation for being able to reproduce an original ‘patina’ on Classic cars. This is important when a high value car has been repaired and needs to blend in with the original paint work.
Sovereign Coachworks Ltd. can also carry out Show and Concours quality paint refinishing.
