Refinishing repairs

Make your car look like new again

Misjudged a carpark or turned too hard and hit your garage? Even a minor-seeming collision can cause surprising damage to your vehicle’s finish. 

Our refinishing services get your paintwork back into perfect condition. Timelines for refinishing depend on the amount of work needed and the type of vehicle. When you get your quote, we’ll give you a time estimate and keep you updated if things change.

Modern paint technology: as an Authorised PPG Refinisher, we use PPG’s Envirobase Waterborne Paint System for almost every job. This matches up with the preferred paint of vehicle manufacturers, giving you a finish that looks – and lasts – like the original.

Environmentally friendly: unlike older car finishes, waterborne paints are gentle on the environment. PPG Envirobase paints release far fewer solvent vapours into the environment, lowering the carbon footprint of the repair process – while still achieving a high-quality result.

Here’s how the refinishing process works:

Colour match: we use a PPG RapidMatch spectrophotometer for precision colour matching.

Prepare: strip back damaged or new panels for paint application.

Mask: windows, headlights and wheels are covered with plastic to protect them from the paint.

Prime: in most cases, wet-on-wet primer is sprayed on before the paint.

Paint: the painting process varies depending on whether the colour is solid, metallic or pearl.

Clear coat: the final top coat protects the colour from the elements and creates that new-car shine.

Bake: the vehicle is heated in our booth to around 65°C to ensure the paint is cured. Some hybrid and EV vehicles can’t go through this process, so may take longer to cure.

Minor repairs

Dislodged bumpers, dents and damaged lights or electrics may need minor structural work to get back to standard. Depending on the scope, this type of repair can take two to five days – we’ll let you know when you get your quote.

Major work

Had a nose-to-tail or a sideswipe? We’ll make sure everything gets back to the manufacturer’s specifications. Major work can take up to 10 days to complete – we’ll give you a timeline when the work starts.
