Arabian Automobiles body and paint shops go environment friendly

The dealership has introduced the world-class, environment-friendly Standohyd water-based paint mixing system at their body and paint repair shops.

Standohyd is a global market leader in the field of automotive refinish paint supply. The water-based system chosen by Arabian Automobiles results in superior surface coverage and colour matching, thus enhancing results on customer vehicles. In addition, product & process tests and approvals guarantee that Arabian Automobiles can produce the highest quality of paint finish for its customers. The water-based refinish material also complies with the strict European EPA (Environmental Protection Act) laws relating to the release of harmful solvents into the atmosphere for the year 2007 and beyond.

"By switching from a conventional solvent paint system to a water based paint system Arabian Automobiles is not only one of the very few in the Gulf Region to take such a step, but also now one of the most environmentally friendly automotive dealers in the region," said Michel Ayat, CEO of Arabian Automobiles.

Over the last 2 years Arabian Automobiles has developed new and improved body repair facilities. The Awir Bodyshop, with 123 work bays, is equipped with the latest model of spray booths, Infra Red paint dryers, paint application equipment from Devillbiss and chassis repair equipment from Blackhawk, France. All the above ingredients spell out a recipe for automotive repair success, offering Arabian Automobiles customers in the UAE access to quality repair materials and processes. Additionally, all technicians are trained and supported by a team of IMI (Institute Motor Industry) accredited trainers.
