Painting loose vehicle panels without a proper stand wastes time and risks a poor finish. Panels slip, move, and need constant repositioning — so paint coverage suffers and touch-ups become unavoidable. The FMT1253 Mobile Vehicle Panel Holding Stand eliminates these problems by gripping each panel securely and letting you rotate it to the perfect spraying angle.
Four adjustable hooks clamp onto the panel edges and hold the part firmly in place. Once mounted, the panel rotates through a full 180 degrees on the stand’s central axis. As a result, you can spray the front face, flip to the reverse side, and reach every edge — all without touching the painted surface. This hands-free approach reduces fingerprints, dust nibs, and rework.
The FMT1253 is designed as a universal stand. It accepts doors, bonnets, tailgates, and wings from any production car. In addition, two extension arms come included for larger panels such as van doors or oversized tailgates. Because the hooks are fully adjustable, you can set them to match the exact shape and size of each part.
The stand sits on a sturdy 850 x 650 x 70 mm base fitted with 200 mm rubber wheels. These large wheels roll smoothly across workshop floors, spray booth grids, and door sills without catching or jamming. Therefore, you can load a panel at the prep bay, wheel it into the booth, and move it to the oven — all on the same stand.
The FMT1253 also serves as the base unit for two specialist attachment kits:
This modular design means you buy one stand and adapt it as your workshop needs change. Consequently, the FMT1253 offers excellent long-term value.

The FMT1253 is suitable for any workshop that removes and sprays vehicle panels. It is especially popular in collision repair centres, smart repair operations, and dedicated paint shops. Because the stand is fully mobile, it slots into existing layouts without needing permanent floor space or wall fixings.
