Project summary

The Halfords Autocentre branch in Strood required a complete colour change to its shop front frames and fascia as part of a wider Autocentre rebranding programme. The brief was to move from the existing blue colour scheme to a dark anthracite specification across all frontage metalwork, aligning the branch with the updated Autocentre brand identity.

Vanda Coatings carried out full preparation of all metalwork before applying a two-pack acrylic topcoat in the specified dark anthracite. All glazing and surrounding surfaces were masked throughout the works.

  • Full mechanical preparation and degreasing of all frames and fascia
  • Glazing and adjacent surfaces masked throughout
  • Two-pack acrylic topcoat in dark anthracite to Autocentre brand specification
  • Works completed with site operational throughout
  • Snag inspection and sign-off on completion
