Auto 100, a prestigious car dealership in Sutton-in-Ashfield, is renowned for its selection of luxury and performance vehicles. To maintain its high-end appeal and ensure a welcoming environment for customers, the dealership required a refurbishment of its external wall cladding. As specialists in protective and aesthetic coatings, Cladding Coatings were entrusted with this project to restore and enhance the showroom’s exterior.

External Wall Cladding Refurbishment

The primary objective was to re-coat the external wall cladding of Auto 100’s showroom, ensuring durability, weather resistance, and a refreshed aesthetic. Thankfully, Auto 100 contacted Cladding Coatings just in time, meaning no repair work was required—only a high-quality re-coating to preserve the integrity of the façade. Additionally, the project included; removal of old signage to create a clean, polished look. Painting of windows and shutter doors to ensure consistency with the overall refurbishment. Application of Anthracite Grey finish to align with the dealership’s branding and enhance its professional image.

The existing blue and yellow façade did not fit with the sleek elegance, given the dealership’s commitment to excellence, therefore, a high-quality finish was essential to align with its brand image and the unit required a new colour scheme and new protective coating.

Several factors had to be considered during the refurbishment:

Weather Conditions: The project was scheduled during a period of unpredictable weather, requiring careful planning to ensure optimal coating application.

Operational Continuity: As a busy dealership, Auto 100 needed to remain fully operational throughout the refurbishment, necessitating minimal disruption.

Surface Preparation: The existing cladding required thorough cleaning and preparation to ensure proper adhesion of the new coating.

Cladding Refurbishment Solution and Process

Cladding Coatings implemented a structured refurbishment approach, ensuring efficiency and precision:

Surface Preparation:

The wall cladding was cleaned using specialist techniques to remove dirt, debris, and any previous coatings that had deteriorated. Surface preparation is one of the key elements of the process that ensures such a high quality and long lasting finish.

Application of High-Performance Coating:

A durable, weather-resistant coating was chosen by our team to provide long-term protection against environmental factors.

The coating was applied using advanced spraying techniques, ensuring a smooth and uniform, high quality finish.

Multiple paint layers were applied to enhance durability and maintain the showroom’s pristine appearance.

Dry fall paints were used to eliminate overspray risk, particularly crucial given the presence of high-value vehicles at the prestigious car dealership.

Quality Assurance and Final Inspection:

A thorough inspection was conducted to ensure the coating met industry standards and client expectations.

The final finish was assessed for consistency, adhesion, and overall aesthetic appeal.

Cladding Refurbishment Completion

Enhanced Visual Appeal: The refreshed exterior and new colour scheme now aligns with the dealership’s premium brand image, creating a striking first impression for customers.

Improved Durability: The new coating provides long-term protection, reducing maintenance requirements and ensuring the cladding remains in excellent condition.

Operational Efficiency: The project was completed without disrupting dealership operations, allowing Auto 100 to continue serving customers seamlessly.
