Craftsmanship Meets Creativity with HMG Coach Enamel

Whether it be for canal boats, historic tractors or vintage vehicles, Coach Enamel from HMG Paints has been the go-to product for vintage restoration and decorative work for over 20 years.

As a traditional high quality, high build, long oil synthetic alkyd enamel it offers an extra-long wet edge to allow for the product to be brushed for a premium finish.

The latest bit of stunning craftsmanship with Coach Enamel comes via the way of Harry’s Hot Rod Shop, who has transformed an iconic Series 1 Lambretta with a custom Timothy Taylor’s Brewery design. This eye-catching project has been brought to life using Coach Enamel, provided by Morleys Derby Ltd, producing a flawless finish that highlights the scooter’s timeless appeal.

Harry’s Hot Rod Shop, renowned for its expertise in ‘hand crafted’ traditional designs for shop windows, custom automotive and motorcycle work amongst other things, produced this project for the East Midlands Scooter Show at Newark. Based in Derbyshire, the shop has become a go-to destination for enthusiasts seeking bespoke, high-quality traditional designs. This latest project is just the latest example of their exceptional craftsmanship.

Owner Harry comments: “I’ve been using HMG Paints since I started 10 years ago. I use KX Undercoat, 14 Line Polyurethane and Coach Enamel on a regular basis all supplied by Morleys in Derby.

“I work on so many different styles of projects for customers from fairground art to old rusty American trucks and the products are very versatile and produce a great finish.”

Countrywide distribution network

As an independent paint manufacturer HMG Paints Ltd rely on a loyal, countrywide distribution network to supply and service customers. On this occasion, Morleys Derby was able to supply a variety of products, thanks to their in-depth product knowledge in specific colours. Like many HMG distributors, Morleys have access to HMG’s ColourBase Tinting Software which allows them to produce over 90,000 colours, including RAL, British Standard and more colour standards across several bases.

This project exemplifies why HMG Coach Enamel is such a popular product and when in the right hands can produce a classic design with a flawless finish – making it a perfect blend of tradition and innovation.
