A repair shop’s economic success depends today on many factors. Top of the list is the choice of the right product system for each repair. As of late, low-price suppliers have been entering the market. They have just one selling point – the price per litre of paint.

But whether a product system is really economic depends not only on the cost of a can of paint. In fact, the cost of paint only accounts for a small percentage of overall repair costs. No less important is the comprehensive service, which is necessary today in order to achieve optimum results with highly sophisticated vehicle refinishing systems.  

Irish repair shops are not alone in having high labour costs. These amount to about 60% of total costs. So what is the benefit if the Bodyshop saves a few per cent on the cost of paint when the job takes two hours longer?  Every coat that the sprayer can leave out and all the material that he saves therefore cut costs for the business.

It is therefore no accident that the mature vehicle refinishing systems from Standox like waterborne Standohyd Basecoat and the high-solids Standofleet topcoat system, are today among the most efficient enduser-friendliest on the market. These progressive paint systems for car and commercial vehicle repairs are particularly cost-effective and cut down on valuable labour. Their fast drying and good coverage accelerate the overall painting process. Simple application technologies and high colour accuracy are an assurance of immaculate and durable refinishes, as underlined by the Standox Color for Life guarantee. The efficiency of the business improves and the customers are satisfied with the price and quality of your work.
