Restaurated Carrestoring vehiclescar refurbishment

We do not concentrate on a specific marque and are able to undertake the most complex of coachwork challenges. Well over eighty five percent of the work is carried out in house by one of the most experienced teams of Tradesmen in Perth. Everything from servicing, minor improvements to major repairs and restorations.
 .
When restoring an original motor car we place great emphasis on retaining as many of the original features and components as possible so that the finished vehicle is a repaired original example; originality is a priority with no compromise on quality.  All vehicles are insured while in our care.
Elder and Paton restored the first car in 1977 and since then we have restored more , Vintage and Classic cars including Austins, MGs and Volkswagen Beetle motor cars. We have also have restored various retro cars from the 70s and 80s.

Car Respray and Refinishing Facility for Classic Vehicles

Here at Elder and Paton we have three EPA Paint ovens which not only enables us to complete  classic car restorations to a showroom finish but also allows us to make that finish to the original specification, be it in Cellulose, Two Pack or Water Base.

The paint job is the most visible aspect of any car restoration project, so it has to be right, you can rest assured that our fully experienced body specialists and paint sprayers will pay attention to detail from preparation to final coat to ensure that a professional finish is achieved every time.
The vast majority of our restoration projects call for a total repaint of the whole car inside, outside and underneath.
