I was invited up to the TVR factory in Blackpool last Wednesday. Had a really interesting day going through the latest processes they implement for Glass Fibring, Priming and Paint Refinishing. Found out that in partnership with HB Body UK Ltd they have developed a revolutionary new Rubberised Stone Guard that can significantly reduce Stone Chips by up to 50% and is almost invisible to the eye. They are now offering this technology as an optional extra on all their new TVRs and seeing as they do not endorse the use of Armourfend, I have decided that we will also offer this Stone Guard technology as an extra on the cars we paint. The question is how much would people be happy to pay? I was thinking around the £100 mark for a front end. Would really appreciate some feedback on this.

SORRY FOR THE DELAY IN GETTING BACK TO YOU ALL,I HAD TO MAKE SURE MY SUPPLER COULD GET THE PRODUCT,I NOW HAVE TRUCK LOADS ON ITS WAY.
IT IS VERY APPARENT TO ME THAT THIS IS A PROCESS THAT WE SHOULD DO ACROSS THE BORD ON ALL T.V.R, AT THE END OF THE DAY IT REDUCES STONE CHIPPING AND THIS CAN ONLY BE A GOOD THING.
THE COST OF A STANDARD FRONT END REPAINT IS £495+VAT I THINK IF I NOW SET THE PRICE AT £570 + VAT THIS WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE.
BECAUSE YOU APPLY STONE GARD BEFORE THE TOP COAT PAINT WORK IT IS ALMOST UNDETECTABLE TO THE EYE WE DO TRY TO KEEP IT TO THE LOWER FRONT END OF THE CAR, BUT WE ARE STILL EXPERIMENTING ON THIS AS TO HOW FAR UP TO COME.
SIMON FROM LEVENTEC, HAS JUST HAD A FRONT END REPAINT INC STONE GARD AND TWIN HEAD LIGHT CONV FITTED TO HIS STUNNING GRIFF, HE WILL KEEP ME IN TOUCH WILL HOW IT PERFORMS. ANY MORE TAKERS ?
