Repairing Holes Dents and Rust On A Luggage Trunk
In the process of repairing and
restoring a metal trunk, Phil begins by carefully assessing the damage and identifying the areas that require attention. He then sets to work repairing any holes, dents, or rust on the trunk. This involves using specialised tools and techniques to carefully reshape the metal and remove any corrosion. Once the damaged areas have been repaired, Phil proceeds to restore any tarnishing that may have occurred due to exposure to the elements.
Restoring Tarnishing and Removing Old Paint From A Metal Trunk
The next step in the restoration process is to remove the old paint from the trunk. This is a delicate process that requires careful attention to detail to avoid damaging the underlying metal. Phil uses a range of techniques, including sandblasting and chemical stripping, to remove the old paint and prepare the metal for repainting.
The Fully Restored And Repainted Travel Luggage Trunk & With New Locking Hasp
Once the trunk has been fully restored and repainted, Phil adds a new brass locking hasp replacing the old broken one. The end result is a beautifully restored metal trunk that looks as good as new and will provide years of reliable service.
Overall, Phil From The Fixit Factory Christchurch is a highly skilled and experienced craftsman who is dedicated to providing his clients with the best possible service. If you have an old metal trunk that requires repair or restoration, Phil is the expert you can trust to get the job done right.
