Colour Coding Customisation

We know that you are proud of your car, both for its style and performance. Perhaps, though, you’d like it to be just that touch more – individual. With the approval of a wide range of renowned car manufacturers, here at Lloyds Autobody, we are authorised to carry out the highly-professional colour coding of every part of your car, both inside and out, to the standard demanded by such outstanding companies – and also by discerning owners like you.

Why Colour Coding?

It’s a matter of style and taste, a satisfying way to make your car stand out from the crowd. Colour coding adds just a touch of emphasis, a unique definition point, or simply that tiny wow factor.

Why Lloyds Autobody?

  • Our staff are continually trained to the exacting standards required by the manufacturers
  • All the paints we use are approved by that manufacturer – and we can match any colour you request from our extensive library of over 10,000 cards
  • Any parts removed during the process will immediately be tagged for identification and securely-stored until replaced on your car
  • The colour coding work on your vehicle is not completed and signed-off until it has successfully passed through our stringent quality control inspection

What Part of My Car Can Be Colour Coded?

We can carry out the process to all areas of your vehicle. These may include the roof, panels, wing mirrors, bumpers, skirts and interiors. We can advise you of the best way to enhance the appearance of your vehicle to deliver a bespoke and individual look using our unrivalled experience and expertise.

Your First Steps Toward Colour Coding

We are happy to fully discuss both the process and your options for any colour coding work you have in mind - see contact details at the bottom of this article.

You know you can trust Lloyds Autobody to colour code your vehicle to the standard you demand.

Alloy Wheel Refurbishment

Anyone can fall victim to corrosion on their alloy wheels, even if they drive carefully on the road. Your car is an extension of you, so if something were to unfortunately damage any part of it, Lloyds Autobody are here to help get you back on the road in no time.

Alloy Wheel Repairs

Wear and tear will naturally occur to your alloy wheels and consequently, chips, cracks, scuffs and scrapes are bound to happen. Kerb and pothole damage can target any car, resulting in a need to refurbish or repair your wheels.

You don’t have to wait for your alloys to suffer from an extensive amount of damage before you come to us for a refurbishment; our alloy service can include diamond cut faces or bespoke dual tone paint. Refurbishing your alloys not only make your car look great, but it can also help maintain the value of your vehicle.

Lloyds Autobody understands that the value and expression of a car lies in its appearance, so we use state of the art of equipment to ensure your vehicle is restored to the same standard you’d expect straight from the factory.

Our paints and materials are manufacturer approved, and Lloyds Autobdy work with incredible brands like Rolls Royce, Bentley and McLaren so you know you are guaranteed the best service with us. No two cars are the same, so our dedicated team make sure your car is treated with the utmost care and bespoke packages take into account the individual requirements of your car.

Data Minimisation

Data minimisation is a principle that states that data collected or processed should not be held or further used unless for essential reasons clearly stated in advance.

Anyone can fall victim to corrosion on their alloy wheels, even if they drive carefully on the road. Your car is an extension of you, so if something were to unfortunately damage any part of it, Lloyds Autobody are here to help get you back on the road in no time.

Alloy Wheel Repairs

Wear and tear will naturally occur to your alloy wheels and consequently, chips, cracks, scuffs and scrapes are bound to happen. Kerb and pothole damage can target any car, resulting in a need to refurbish or repair your wheels.

You don’t have to wait for your alloys to suffer from an extensive amount of damage before you come to us for a refurbishment; our alloy service can include diamond cut faces or bespoke dual tone paint. Refurbishing your alloys not only make your car look great, but it can also help maintain the value of your vehicle.

Lloyds Autobody understands that the value and expression of a car lies in its appearance, so we use state of the art of equipment to ensure your vehicle is restored to the same standard you’d expect straight from the factory.

Our paints and materials are manufacturer approved, and Lloyds work with incredible brands like BMW, Audi and Tesla so you know you are guaranteed the best service with us. No two cars are the same, so our dedicated team make sure your car is treated with the utmost care and bespoke packages take into account the individual requirements of your car.
