What it covers
From one panel to the whole car
A respray is only as good as the preparation underneath it. Most of the time on a respray goes on work you never see: taking off or masking trim, flatting the old paint, sorting any marks and dents, and priming so the new colour has an even base to sit on. Get that right and the colour coat looks deep and even. Rush it and every flaw shows through.
Not every car needs a full respray. If the damage or fading is on one or two panels, we can paint just those and blend them into the rest. Send us photos and we will tell you which makes sense for your car.
Full resprays
Whole-car refinishing in the original colour, masked and prepped panel by panel.
Colour changes
Complete colour changes when you want the car in a different shade altogether, including the door shuts and inside edges.
Panel resprays
One or two panels painted and blended in, rather than the whole car. See colour matching.
Bumpers off the car
Bumpers and loose panels sprayed off the car for an even lay-down of paint.
Lacquer & polish
Clear coat on top, then flatted and polished until the reflection runs straight.
Paint repair is the specialism
It is the line under our name for a reason. Colour matching, blending and finishing is the part most shops get wrong, and it is the part we are known for.
Before and after
The same car, before and after its respray
A real respray from our workshop: an Audi RS3 with a big dent in the wing and damage to half the bumper as it came in, and the same car out of the booth.
The respray stages
How a respray goes
A real job from our workshop. Most of the work happens before any colour goes on.
Nissan GT-R, stage by stage
Prep & masking
Every edge, window and trim taped off and the bodywork prepped.
Taped off
Vents and trim taped off before any paint goes on.
Primer
Primed flat, so the colour goes on evenly.
Finished
Clear coat, flatted and polished to an even gloss.
No price list — and that is deliberate
Two cars with the same scratch can be an hour apart in work. Send a photo of the damage and you get a real figure, not a guess dressed up as a starting price.
Why choose us
Why drivers choose us for paintwork
An independent shop where the person who quotes the job is the person who sprays it.
Matched to your paint code
Colour is mixed to the vehicle’s own code and blended out, so a panel respray does not sit as a patch.
Dents pulled, not buried
Any dents are drawn back out with a stud welder before primer goes on, so they do not show through the new paint.
Quick where it can be quick
Efficiency is one of the things customers name on Google. Small jobs are not held for a week to fill a diary.
We take on the awkward ones
Prestige cars and the jobs other shops turn away — if it can be done properly, we will quote it.

Questions
Respray questions
How much does a car respray cost?
There is no price list. The size of the car, the condition of the paint and how much prep it needs all change the price. Send photos through the quote form or on WhatsApp and you get a real figure back, free.
Can you change my car’s colour?
Yes. Complete colour changes are part of what we do, as well as resprays in the car’s original colour. A colour change includes the door shuts and inside edges, not just the outside panels. If you change your car’s colour, you’ll need to update your V5C logbook with the DVLA.
Do I need a full respray, or just a panel?
Often just the panels that need it. If the damage or fading is on one or two panels, those can be painted and blended into the rest of the car. Send photos and we will tell you which makes sense.
How long does a respray take?
A respray takes around 2 weeks. Smaller jobs are quicker: bumper corner repairs usually take 1 day, and slightly bigger jobs usually take 2 to 3 days. Every job is different, so we’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Will a panel respray match the rest of the car?
Paint is mixed to your vehicle’s own paint code and blended into the surrounding panels. See colour matching for how that works.
