THUNDER LINE: INNOVATION THAT ACCELERATES BODYSHOPS

Linea-Thunder-Gelson

In the increasingly competitive landscape of the automotive industry, efficiency and speed of processing are crucial factors for the success of any bodyshop. It is in this context that Gelson’s new Thunder Line was born, a revolutionary product range that promises to radically transform the time and quality of bodyshop work.

Innovation in the Service of Productivity

The Thunder Line is the result of careful research and development aimed at a clear goal: optimizing every phase of the workflow without ever compromising the quality of the final result. This philosophy is embodied in three specific products, each designed to excel in its specific application: THUNDER FILL, THUNDER COAT, and THUNDER CUT are engineered to work in synergy and provide maximum functionality and speed—from preparation to finishing.

The core of this innovation is the ability to drastically reduce processing and drying times, allowing bodyshops to increase productivity while maintaining high quality standards. An approach that perfectly meets the demands of the modern market, where speed and quality must necessarily coexist.

THUNDER FILL: The Perfect Base for Every Repair

THUNDER FILL stands out as a new-generation two-component UHS spray filler. Its innovative formulation ensures incredibly easy application and optimal vertical hold, making it ideal even for less experienced professionals.

What makes this product truly special is its very high solid content, which ensures exceptional filling power combined with unprecedented air-drying speed. Its superior sandability facilitates subsequent operations, while active anti-corrosion pigments provide long-lasting protection.

THUNDER COAT: Superior Transparency and Gloss

THUNDER COAT redefines the standards for two-component acrylic clearcoats. With its ultra high solid content (UHS) and exceptional curing speed, this product is the ideal solution for those who demand both speed and quality.

The perfect rheology of the ready-to-use product, combined with excellent flow and gloss, ensures consistently professional results. Once the drying process is complete, the resulting film features extraordinary gloss and hardness, along with stability that effectively resists chemical and weathering agents.

Its versatility on both water-based and solvent-based basecoats, along with compliance with VOC Directive 2004/42/EC, makes THUNDER COAT a responsible and professional choice.

THUNDER CUT: The Power of Advanced Polishing

THUNDER CUT revolutionizes the concept of rubbing compounds, offering a superior cutting-power 2-in-1 product. Its ability to act as both a preparatory and finishing compound eliminates unnecessary steps from the workflow.

Its effectiveness in quickly removing sanding marks and wear scratches while ensuring surface uniformity and high gloss makes it essential for every modern bodyshop. Its application versatility on fresh paint, aged coatings, and direct gloss enhances its utility even further.

The formula, specifically developed for polishing polyurethane clear coats, makes it ideal not only for cars but also for trucks and boats.

The Future of Bodyshop Is Already Here

The Thunder Line represents a new generation of Gelson products designed to meet the daily challenges faced by bodyshop professionals. Integrating these three products into a single workflow allows for professional results in significantly reduced times, turning efficiency from a goal into an everyday reality.

For bodyshops looking to the future, investing in the Thunder Line means choosing innovation, quality, and competitiveness—a decision that immediately gets into improved productivity, greater customer satisfaction, and overall business success.
