Their restoration process consists of eight steps. First, they assess the car, checking if it has all its original parts and verifying the correspondence between the chassis number and the engine number. The second step is disassembly. Bottini completely strips the car, catalogs every part, and determines what possibly needs changing. The third step is Thermo Painting: each part of the chassis/bodywork complex is processed solely using heat. The paint is incinerated in a special oven without the treated pieces undergoing dimensional or mechanical alterations. The fourth step is tinnerwork, where Bottini performs the necessary metalwork. Afterwards comes the fifth step: preparation for painting. After applying a product against the «blooming» of the metal, essential for protection from atmospheric agents, the car’s bodywork is carefully finished to ensure perfectly homogeneous surfaces before applying a primer for the final paint. The sixth step is Painting, which takes place in the oven at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius for approximately 30 minutes. The seventh step is Interior restoration. The eighth and final step is reassembly, where Bottini puts the car together, now as good as new.
