HIGH-END CLASSIC CAR PAINTWORK & RESTORATION
AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.
My name is Jörg Egger. Originally from Switzerland, I have been working in high-end vehicle paintwork and classic car restoration for more than three decades. Today, I work internationally on selected restoration projects and provide technical consulting for specialist workshops, manufacturers and collectors.
For more than three decades, I have developed individual paint systems and processes that combine exceptional surface quality, authenticity and long-term durability.
High-gloss piano-lacquer finishes and premium surface systems
Authentic nitrocellulose paint layers for historic vehicles
Restoration of thermoplastic paint systems
Not everything old is automatically better, but much of it has genuine substance. Preserving that character while integrating modern techniques is at the heart of true restoration craftsmanship.
PERFECTION REQUIRES A CLEAR PROCESS
High-end paintwork is all about control.
Panel shape, dust, materials, temperature, sanding between coats, curing times, lighting and sequence—every detail matters.
In the end, every detail makes a difference.
My standards for quality haven't changed over the years. But the ways I achieve them have. To this day, I continue to optimise my workflows, experiment with new materials and question decisions that were once taken for granted.
This results in a way of working that remains flexible while pursuing one clear goal: maximum quality, efficient processes and a finish worthy of the vehicle.
A PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION PRESERVES AND INCREASES VEHICLE VALUE
For a classic car, the quality of the paintwork is a key factor in determining its value. A professional appraisal assesses condition, workmanship and originality.
The correct paint system is crucial. I work from a stable substrate and create a finish that remains true to the vehicle’s original appearance. This preserves its visual character while providing a durable foundation for the long term.
A professionally executed restoration protects the vehicle’s value and can increase it significantly. With proper care, this quality will last for decades.
THE FUTURE OF HIGH-END CLASSIC CAR PAINTWORK
EGGER SURFACE SYSTEM
2025 marks a new chapter: with the launch of the Egger Surface System (ESS), I introduced a process designed to achieve uncompromising piano-lacquer quality – for those who demand the highest standards in appearance, surface stability and durability.
Whether you are a collector, restorer, vehicle manufacturer or specialist workshop: if you value precision, authenticity and decades of craftsmanship, you are in the right place.
PERFECTION IN EVERY DETAIL
MY PORTFOLIO
A classic car is more than a vehicle – it is a piece of history. In my portfolio, I present selected projects that reflect my approach to restoration, paintwork and surface quality: precise, authentic and executed to the highest standard.
