Panel painting after a repair
Most paintwork follows a repair: once a panel is straight and prepared, it is primed, painted and clear coated so it sits with the rest of the car. Getting a close match depends on the paint colour, its age and condition, and how much of the surrounding area needs blending, which the team will look at in person.
Resprays
A respray can be one panel, several panels or the whole car. Faded or peeling clear coat, a car that has had a lot of patch repairs, or a colour change are all reasons people ask about one.
The amount of preparation drives the job: what is under the paint matters as much as the new colour. That is why a respray is quoted after the car has been looked at.
