About Die Lackierwerkstatt
Die Lackierwerkstatt Thomas Richter GmbH is a brand-independent body and paint shop in Hof (Bavaria), run as a family business in its third generation. Its range of services includes color-accurate painting for all vehicle brands and classes, bodywork, accident damage service including insurance handling, hail damage repair, smart repair, rust removal, as well as industrial painting and plastic coatings for furniture, housings and industrial parts. Particular focuses are vintage car restoration, motorcycle and tank painting, bicycle and boat painting, and protective coatings for trailer cargo beds (Raptor). Work is carried out with water-based paints from the Glasurit100 series and the UV-curing Glasurit filler. The shop supplies car dealerships, commercial vehicle and vehicle manufacturing companies in the region. After an energy-efficiency retrofit with a new paint and drying booth, energy consumption was reduced by more than 60%.
