Looking after cars in Iona

Iona is farming country - flat, open, and served by roads that are dusty in summer and muddy in winter. Cars and utes here cover real distances, and it shows in the paint, the wheels and the interior.

There is no sales team and no subcontracting. Andy assesses, corrects and coats every car from Iona himself, with more than thirty years on paint behind him, and will tell you honestly if a job is not worth doing.

Farming flats and country towns

What Iona does to a car’s finish.

Utes and working vehicles

Trays, canopies and tool boxes take a beating. Coating them makes the weekly clean-up far quicker.

Outdoor parking all year

Most farm vehicles live outside, taking full sun and weather. UV fade and chalky trim are the result.

Stone chips from gravel roads

Gravel roads chip the front and sills. A coating does not stop chips but helps protect the paint around them.

Resale on a working vehicle

A work ute that has been protected sells for noticeably more than one with sun-baked paint and a stained interior.

Services

What we do for Iona cars.

The process

From first look to final cure.

01

Assessment

We inspect the paint under proper lighting and measure the clear coat, then tell you what it actually needs.

02

Decontaminate

Iron-fallout treatment and a clay strip, so nothing is ever sealed in under the coating.

03

Correct

Machine polishing in measured stages to remove swirls and etching rather than fill them.

04

Coat & cure

GYEON or ONYX applied panel by panel and cured under cover — in the studio, or in your garage on a mobile job — with the warranty registered.

FAQs

Questions we get from Iona.

Can the work be done at my place in Iona?

Andy is mobile as well as studio-based, so the work can be done at your place in Iona or at the Berwick studio, about 32 km away. A shed or a closed garage is ideal for a mobile job. Some owners would rather tie it in with a trip into town and leave the car at the studio instead. Tell us where the car is kept when you book and you will get a straight answer on which suits the job.

What about chalky, faded trim?

Faded plastic trim can usually be restored and then coated so it does not go grey again.

How long will the vehicle be off the road?

Most jobs are one to three days. We can plan around harvest or busy periods if you tell us when you book.

Do you coat farm utes?

Yes - paint, trays, canopies and trim. A coated ute rinses clean after a day on the tracks.
