Prep is paid time
We never rush the preparation stage to bring a project in early. If a job needs another half-day of flatting, that is a half-day it gets — at the price we agreed.
HomeThe studio
A small studio. Eleven years on the same site.
Yondex was founded in 2014 by three bodyshop foremen tired of watching big chains rush respray work. We have stayed deliberately small — eleven years on, the floor still runs the way we set it up.
Our story
Built by foremen, run by craftspeople
Three of us — Tom, Adrian and Marek — had been running paint floors at large body repair chains for the best part of two decades. The frustration was always the same: insurance work paying by the panel, no time for prep, no time for the job to be done quietly.
So in 2014 we leased a single bay in Bermondsey, took over the booth from the previous tenant, and started taking on private work only. Eleven years later we still hand over every car we paint personally.

How we work
One technician, one car
Each car is assigned to a single lead technician from inspection through hand-back. That same person photographs progress and signs off the final QC.
Honest, even when awkward
If a panel is better left alone, we say so. If a colour cannot be matched within tolerance, we say so. We would rather lose the booking than lose the trust.
Documentation, always
You receive a folder at hand-back: products used, batch numbers, paint codes, before-and-after photographs and the signed warranty.
Premium products only
We use Glasurit, Spies Hecker and Standox systems — full stop. Every layer, every panel. No cheaper solvent-borne shortcuts to bring a price down.
Lifetime warranty in writing
For full-body projects we issue a warranty for as long as you own the car. Defects from our work or our products are repaired free of charge at our studio.
The floor
What you will find on the studio floor
Down-draught booth
Air-conditioned, fully extracted, with a controlled bake cycle for every paint layer.
Mixing room
Spectrophotometer-led colour matching, archived paint codes for every project, and full COSHH compliance.
Wheel station
Dedicated bay for alloy refinishing — strip, etch, prime and respray without affecting other vehicles on the floor.
Detailing bay
For PPF wraps, post-respray polishing, and final QC under colour-corrected lighting.
Drop in for a tour of the studio
Saturday mornings tend to be the calmest. We will walk you around the booth, the mixing room and whatever projects are on the floor that day.
