At The Beaconsfield Workshop, we believe exceptional paintwork is as much an art as it is a technical process. Whether you own a vintage Bentley, a modern Continental GT, a classic Jaguar, or a hand-built Lotus, the finish on your vehicle should reflect its heritage, its craftsmanship, and your pride in ownership.
Leading our paint department is Head Painter David Redrup, a specialist whose experience spans decades and whose reputation for perfection is well known throughout the prestige and classic car world. David is just as comfortable recreating the deep, rich finish of a post-war Bentley as he is matching the flawless gloss of a contemporary GT. His ability to understand, replicate and often exceed factory paint standards makes our workshop a destination for enthusiasts seeking the highest quality refinishing available.
Different eras demand different techniques—and this is where our knowledge sets us apart.
Older vehicles often require a sympathetic approach, refined layering, and subtle toning to preserve authenticity. Modern vehicles, by contrast, demand precision colour matching, controlled environments, and advanced clearcoat systems.
David’s expertise allows us to handle both with absolute confidence. Whether you’re restoring a concours classic or refreshing the look of a modern luxury car, we deliver a finish that is true to the vehicle’s original character while elevating its visual impact.
Most bodyshops work to volume and efficiency: a few coats of paint, a finish straight from the gun, and the job is considered complete.
At The Beaconsfield Workshop, our philosophy is the opposite.
As David explains:
“Most modern bodyshops are satisfied with a few coats of paint and a finish straight from the gun. We add sufficient extra layers to allow for lots of hand finishing, which is what makes our work a cut above the rest.”
This hand-finishing process includes carefully controlled layering, meticulous flatting, and progressive refinement to achieve a depth, smoothness and clarity rarely seen in modern refinishing. The result is a surface that looks richer, feels smoother, and endures longer.
Paintwork is often the first impression a car makes—and for prestige marques, it must be flawless. David and the team treat every vehicle as if it were their own, applying the time, craftsmanship and pride necessary to deliver a finish worthy of your car’s legacy.
Whether bringing a faded classic back to life or elevating the presentation of a modern luxury car, our paintwork department consistently produces results that exceed expectations.
