BOOSTING BODY SHOP EFFICIENCY WITH AIR-DRYING FAST SURFACER

In the fast-paced world of car refinishing, two things are crucial: increased efficiency and cost effectiveness. As energy costs continue to rise, body shops are seeking ways to reduce reliance on spray booth usage. The priming process provides an opportunity to reduce this energy drain. 

The new, innovative DeBeer Refinish 8-347 Fast Surfacer offers an easy solution to these concerns. It eliminates the need for spray booth baking, helping to enhance process times and transform your overall workflow. 

The 8-347 Fast Surfacer removes the need for energy-intensive baking. With air-drying reduced to just 15-20 minutes, body shops will see a drop in energy expenses. It also helps in creating a more environmentally conscious and efficient operation. 

Getting rid of the bake cycle isn’t just about saving on energy costs – it’s about improving your overall productivity. With air-drying, the need for a 30-minute bake cycle becomes obsolete, freeing up the spray booth capacity. For example, if your body shop completes four jobs a day with a 30-minute bake cycle, using the 8-347 Fast Surfacer instead allows your shop to tackle more vehicles within the same timeframe. 

The faster the drying, the more jobs you can complete, and the more profits you can generate. Our surfacer reduces process times, boosts throughput, and features three grey shades for precise colour matching.

Benefits to your shop 

Energy savings: Air-drying cuts energy costs and helps to reduce your carbon footprint. 

Cost efficiency: Enjoy cost savings that contribute directly to your bottom line.

Time mastery: Rapid drying times mean more jobs are completed in less time.

Production surge: High-production body shops can increase productivity with the increased throughput facilitated by our fast-drying element. 

Built-in guide coat: There is no need for an additional guide coat to help with sanding. The semi-gloss appearance makes it easy to see where sanding has already taken place. 

The 8-347 Fast Surfacer is a step forward in driving body shop productivity. Embrace efficiency, cut costs, and elevate your throughput with the power of fast-drying air-drying technology.
