Automotive Body and Chassis Stripping

Why panel beaters and restorers choose laser:

Sandblasting is messy, time-consuming to set up and leaves media in every seam and cavity. Chemical stripping requires careful handling, disposal and drying time. Laser cleaning does the same job faster, cleaner and with far greater precision, making it ideal for detailed restoration work, awkward panel shapes, and hard to reach areas.

We're mobile and fully equipped, coming directly to your workshop or job site. Whether you need a single set of parts cleaned or ongoing support for your panel shop, we're happy to discuss how laser cleaning can save you time and improve the quality of your finished work.

What we can clean and strip:
  • Rust and corrosion from panels, sills, chassis rails and brackets

  • Old paint and primer from body panels before respray

  • Surface coatings from parts prior to powder coating or painting

  • Grease, oil and carbon deposits from engine components and parts

  • Tight spots, seams, edges and awkward shapes that sandblasting can't reach cleanly

  • Bare metal preparation for welding

Laser for Automotive & Panel Beating

Whether you're restoring a classic car, repairing collision damage, or preparing panels for a respray, laser cleaning delivers a level of precision and cleanliness that traditional methods simply can't match, and without the mess, chemicals or media waste that comes with sandblasting or chemical stripping.

Our laser targets rust, old paint, primer and surface coatings with pinpoint accuracy, leaving the bare metal underneath completely intact and ready for the next stage of your build or repair. No warping from heat. No abrasive media embedded in seams. No chemical residue to interfere with your primer or topcoat.
