DKL Metals: The Choice for Automotive Body Repairs

There is no substitute for a traditional metal loaded seam on a classic car restoration, which is why DKL Metals continues to offer high-quality products for automotive body repairs. Using a metal-loaded seam, rather than modern polyester-based fillers, results in a durable, high-strength, and permanent repair that maintains joint integrity and is trusted by vehicle restorers.

Our Product Range

We offer both traditional leaded and modern lead-free solutions to suit all requirements.

- DKL Solder Paint: A viscous material that can be applied to vertical panels without wastage. It provides a preparatory undercoat (tinning) for body solder. Available in both Sn60Pb40 (for leaded applications) and Pure Tin grades (for lead-free).

- DKL B27 Body Solder: A traditional tin/lead/antimony based body solder with around 27% tin content, ideal for historical restoration applications. This product has a low melting point and a wide melting range, making it easy to work with and manipulate to the desired shape. It is available in 250g sticks, 500g, and 1kg bars.

- DKL Sn97Cu3 Lead Free Body Solder: For applications where a lead-free solution is required, this alloy (ISO 9453:2020(E) Alloy 402) provides a high-strength, environmentally friendly, and robust alternative. It is a tin-copper alloy with good flowing properties that provides a reliable, long-lasting connection. It comes in 250g sticks, 500g, and 1kg bars.

- DKL B128 High Activity Soldering Flux: This flux can be used with both leaded and lead-free applications to help remove additional oxidation that may occur during the process. It is available in 1 and 5 litre containers.

Our automotive repair products provide a professional-grade finish, greater corrosion resistance, and the ability to re-work the panel if the desired profile is not achieved the first time. This offers significant economies in both material use and labour time.
