DeLorean Bodywork Regraining — Classic Details

Ever the lover of the unusual and eager to further my skills, during the last few month months I have been researching and honing stainless steel regraining techniques and tooling. Having worked (until my fingers bled at times) up to a point where I was happy on a flat sheet, I was honoured to be granted the opportunity to work on this fantastic car.

Although stainless steel is a very hard-wearing product it does pick-up greasy fingerprints which dull the surface finish, and scratches alter the lines of the panels causing shiny spots and irregularities. The idea of regraining is to bring back uniformity to the panels and refresh the finish to how it rolled out of the factory. Totally different to traditional car polishing which is all about lubrication as well as abrasion along with circular motions of machine polishers, the De Lorean relies on straight lines and quite harsh abrasives to “cut” the lines back into the surface and score away unwanted marks.

Far from the headache that was feared, I thoroughly enjoyed myself on this car and was able to remove some nasty scuff marks and irregularities from the lower rear wing as well as even-ing the finish on the rest of the drivers’ side (it’s a left hooker…).

Following the experience I am overjoyed to now add a DeLorean and other Stainless Steel Regraining service to my portfolio.
