C H Bull & Sons Coachworks, based in Scotland, has recently installed Autoclear UV, the innovative new paint technology from Sikkens which takes just 6 minutes to dry.

With an average throughput of 50 cars per week, productivity is key to the smooth running of the bodyshop, and after converting to UV five months ago a significant difference has been seen.

Glen Drummond, Paintshop Floorman, explained “The change to UV has been seamless. Not only is it quick and easy to use, there is also no wastage; whatever is left from the previous job can be put away and used on the next”.

He continued, “The savings don’t end there though. We’ve seen a difference of 30 minutes time saved per job, not to mention the fuel savings. Overall the whole system has been brilliant and the service second to none”.

Sikkens is the first paint manufacturer worldwide to bring revolutionary new UV paint technology, suitable for all types of panel repairs, to the car refinish industry. Autoclear UV outperforms every other clearcoat on the market, taking just 6 minutes to dry, offering bodyshops enormous potential to speed up throughput and increase profitability.

Autoclear UV is suitable for use over Sikkens Autowave Basecoat.
