Color Design - colour turns into design!

Lechler's new concept connects chemical development with the evolution of the language of colour.

Colour is a language that continues to evolve. Technological, cultural and artistic changes have always influenced the domestic landscape in our homes and surrounding environments.  The analysis of past products revealed that significant colour changes are recorded in cycles which means that general colour preferences for the near future can be predicted with a fair degree of accuracy.  

Defining new scenarios is an essential aspect of Color Design and contributes to determining the quality of home environments, architectural features of buildings and the commercial success of an industrial product. 

The Color Design Project by Lechler, organized in partnership with the industrial designer Francesca Valan, provides indications, suggestions and technical information to make choosing colour and finishes easier.

And here is “Alvis 4.3”, a magnificent specimen brought back to the street also thanks to Lechler products.

Categories: Refinish

There are not many circulating examples of the wonderful Alvis 4.3, the car introduced on the market in 1936 by the car manufacturer of the same name, as production was soon stopped following the conversion of the plant to war production in 1940.

Nick Croucher, an English coachbuilder from Christchurch specialising in "Vintage & Classic Car Restorations", has managed to bring an original Alvis 4.3 back to the street following the traditional methods of building carriages: ash frame, aluminium panels, prepared and painted with products and Lechler painting processes, approved for old-timer cars.

Here are the details:

for the outer shell and chassis the following products were used:

  • Epofan Epoxy Primer,
  • Multilight Putty and Polydur Zinc Putty,
  • GreenTech Dark Grey and Light Grey Primer as sealer and filler derived from our Macrofan tintometric system,
  • then Hydrofan Base Coat
  • and MC405 UHS Clear Coat.

The clearcoat on the car body and the doors was necessarily air dried, as the wooden structure did not allow to be placed in the spray booth for low baking.

For the chassis, the suspensions and the frames the following products were used

  • Epofan Epoxy Primer,
  • Polydur Zinc Putty,
  • Epofan Epoxy Primer Surfacer,
  • Macrobase Mac1 Fast Top Coat.

This wonderful example of Alvis 4.3 is now in circulation and will participate in numerous international old-timer car events, such as Cannes in the south of France, Essen in Germany and Beaulieu Vintage Car Show in the south of England.
