Dealing with repairs
Repairing instruments boards
The dashboard or instrument board is one of the main interior vehicle accessories when it comes to size and to complexity of replacement. When it is damaged, it is normal practice to replace it, and this is a costly operation. However, with the right tools, products and working methods, a repair can be carried out which meets requirements for quality and guarantee.


Painting

Mother of pearl baths
Pearl finish pigments give colour effects which change according to optic angle.
The chromatic phenomena of nature to be found in shells, feathers and pearls, have always caught the eye. In Japanese painting, pearl finish pigments are widely used, traditionally made from ground mother of pearl. Modern technology allows the reproduction of these phenomena with the aid of pearl finish pigments, whose base is natural iron mica covered with a layer of metallic oxide. The mica produces interference, colour optical reflections, which vary according to optic angle, while the solid pigments form a base of colour with very fine particles.


Vehicles

HONDA CB 250
A model citizen, the CB 250 is one of the great commercial success stories of the Japanese giant Honda in this country. Conceived for short trips to work or as a run-around for the city, it has a two cylinder engine, clearly urban in character, which combines good fuel consumption and maintenance savings with an elegant up-to-the-minute design.

Road safety

Lighting the way
The latest developments in lighting systems improve road safety.
Manufacturers put a great deal of effort into giving their automobiles mechanisms which will improve driving conditions. The new lighting systems, which form part of the active safety measures of the vehicles, have evolved spectacularly towards the new generation xenon lights.

Quality and environment

Green is our favourite colour
Environmental overhaul of the bodywork and paintwork workshop
An environmental overhaul examines in the greatest possible detail the complex set of activities carried out by the bodywork and paintwork workshop and their consequences for the environment. This diagnosis allows us to determine the risks that exist and the chances of improving their environmental performance, including those which could, at the same time, stimulate our business, thanks to the assessment of efficiency in working procedures.
