Car respraying & paintwork

Our most popular job. A single blended panel, a full respray, or a complete colour change — mixed to your car's factory paint code and finished in our own booth.

What we spray

Paint that still matches in three years' time

A respray is 80% preparation and 20% paint. That's where cheap jobs come apart — the colour looks fine on the forecourt and then flat-spots, peels or goes a shade off in daylight six months later.

We strip properly, fill and flat properly, prime, and only then put colour on it. Every panel gets blended into the ones next to it so there is no visible line between the repair and the rest of the car.

  • Single panel and blended repairs — the everyday scuff, scrape and stone-chip work.
  • Full-car resprays — tired, faded or mismatched paint brought back to one finish.
  • Colour changes — go a completely different colour if you fancy it.
  • Lacquer peel and fade correction — common on roofs, bonnets and older reds.
  • Colour-matched to your paint code, not eyeballed.

How a respray goes

What actually happens to your car

1

Strip & assess

Trim, handles and lights come off so paint goes on the panel, not over the edges of everything else.

2

Repair & prep

Dents worked out, filler flatted back, primer on, then flatted again until it's genuinely level.

3

Colour & lacquer

Mixed to your factory code, sprayed in the booth and blended into the surrounding panels.

4

Refit & check

Everything goes back on, the finish is polished up, and you see it before you pay for it.

Questions

Respray FAQs

Will the new paint match the rest of the car?
Yes. We mix to your vehicle's factory colour code and then blend into the adjacent panels, which is what stops a repair standing out in sunlight even when the code is technically correct.
Can I change my car's colour completely?
You can, and we do plenty of them. Bear in mind that a colour change is a bigger job than a respray in the original colour — door shuts, boot and engine bay all have to be considered. If you're changing the registered colour, you also need to tell the DVLA.
My lacquer is peeling off the roof. Can that be fixed?
Yes — it's a common failure on certain ages and colours. The affected panel is stripped back, prepped and resprayed rather than patched over.
Do you spray vans?
Yes, cars and vans both. Send us photos and the registration and we'll price it up.
