Black, kept black.

One car in the bay at a time. Scroll, and walk around it with us.

Most of what we do, you'll never see — hours under the light bar before a machine ever touches the paint.

Sable is a small correction and protection studio. No queue of cars on a wet lot, no brush that has touched another vehicle. Your car comes in, the door comes down, and the light bar tells us the truth until the work is done.

Paint correction

Single-stage enhancement to full multi-stage correction

Ceramic protection

Two-coat ceramic, wheels and glass included

Interior & leather

Steam, condition, seal — down to the stitching

Wheels off

Barrels, calipers and arches, sealed separately

The read

Paint is read in a straight line.

That white stripe running the panels is the light bar. If it bends, breaks or hazes, the paint isn't done. It's the only judge we work to.

Correction isn't polish. It's the slow removal of every mark the world has left, until the reflection runs unbroken.

Cut→Refine→Finish

Measured with a gauge before any compound is chosen — we cut clear coat in microns and we log what we take.

Half the bonnet corrected to a mirror, half still swirled — the split line under the light bar — The split line — corrected against uncorrected

First, the ritual

The wash is the ritual.

Snow foam, two buckets, filtered water, one car. Nothing touches the paint that has ever touched anything else.

Then we seal it — so the next wash is a rinse, and the one after that is too.

Two coats of ceramic on the paint, one on the glass, one on every wheel — off the car, barrels and calipers included. Inside, the leather is steamed, fed and sealed down to the stitching.

Quilted black leather interior with steam drifting through lamplight — The inside counts double

Nothing leaves the bay until it passes the light bar.

Collection

Handed back at night.

Because night is when black shows everything. One light, no flattery — if it holds up here, it holds up anywhere.

One car at a time means the diary is the product too. Tell us what you drive.

The studio

A single enclosed bay in Sydney's inner west. Collection and delivery in an enclosed trailer can be arranged for cars that shouldn't sit in traffic.
