Specializing in fiberglass repairs and high quality for over 45 years, Automotive Enterprises has had considerable experience with Lotus and other fiberglass and composite cars. The Lotus was brought down to bare fiberglass and properly prepared for a high quality re-spray. To ensure high quality, the car was brought down to bare fiberglass, blocked multiple times, properly primed and trim removed prior to the re-paint. The hood, doors and trunk were properly aligned and certain panels received reinforcing as required. The front and rear windows were removed, as was the trim. Lower areas (rocker panels and front and rear lower valances) were finished in a rough protective coating and painted body color to minimize rock chips and road rash.
