Paintwork
SRM's Paintwork Department is
headed by time-served sprayer Stuart Roy. Stove enamelling is the
traditional way to restore paintwork on both frames and cycle parts,
and is the 'tried and tested' method employed by us to achieve the best
results for your classic motorcycle.
The
stove enamelling process involves the spraying of special stove
enamelling paint onto an object which is then placed in an oven and
heated to a specific temperature for a specific amount of time.
This fast curing of the paint allows stoving paint to be applied in
relatively thick coats to achieve an aesthetically pleasing, durable
high gloss finish.
Originally,
stove enamel paints were oil based, but more recently these have been
superceded by modern acrylic stove enamels which have increased
durability and quality of finish. The protection and finish
offered by thick stove enamel paintwork does mean that careful assembly
of painted parts is of prime importance. However, should the
paintwork 'chip', it can be successfully 'touched in' (unlike some
other forms of finish available). A small container of stove
enamel paint is provided with each completed job.
Prior
to painting, all parts are shot blasted to eliminate all corrosion and
provide a perfect key for stone enamelling primer. To combat the
problems of 'pitting' in frame tubes etc, we have special fillers to
withstand high temperatures without 'lifting' or 'sagging'.
Modern stove enamel paints can be matched to most colours and some
metallics, although we recommend the use of a 2-pack paint system for
most metallic work. Stove enamel paint is suitable for high
temperature applications on hubs, cylinder barrels and cylinder heads
(but silver is not recommended for heads).
The
following prices are provided as a guide, with the frame price
including two hours of preparation work, and filling of rust pits and
holes. The other prices include similar work, but extensive
repair work on heavily corroded steels costs extra. Also, if
parts are heavily greased up or covered with thick road grime,
degreasing and cleaning work will be charged for.
