A car respray means stripping back and repainting a panel, a section of the car or the whole vehicle, rather than just touching in a small mark. People come to us for resprays after fading and lacquer peel, to put right several damaged panels at once, or to change the car's colour. We match to your paint code, or spray a new colour of your choice, and lacquer for a finish that lasts.
Most cars do not actually need a full respray. A faded bonnet, a couple of scuffed panels or a kerbed bumper usually only needs those areas resprayed and blended into the panels around them, which costs far less than doing the whole car. A full respray is for widespread fading, heavy damage across many panels, or a colour change. We will tell you straight which your car needs before you spend anything.
The work means proper preparation: flatting the panel back, sorting any dents or filler, masking the car off, then spraying colour and lacquer in our booth and blending into the surrounding panels so there is no hard edge. Preparation is what separates a respray that lasts from one that peels, so we do not rush it. We respray cars and vans of all makes.
What a respray costs depends on how many panels are involved, the paint type (solid, metallic or pearlescent) and whether it is a colour change, which needs the door shuts, boot and bonnet edges done too. We do not quote blind. Once we have seen the car we give you a clear, free, no-obligation quote and a realistic idea of how long it will be with us.
If you are changing your car's colour you must tell the DVLA so the V5C logbook shows the right colour, which is free to update, and it is worth telling your insurer too. We can talk you through that. Because we do bodywork and mechanical under one roof in Tottenham Hale, we can also sort any dents, rust or mechanical work before the car is painted. We are open every day from 08:00 to 22:00.
We respray cars for drivers across North London, including Seven Sisters, Stoke Newington, Wood Green and Walthamstow. Call 07349 766832 or message on WhatsApp to talk through what you want and get a quote.
Panel, full and colour change
Preparation is everything
A respray is only as good as the prep underneath it, so we take the time to do it right.
A finish that lasts
Good to know
How much does a car respray cost?+
It depends on how many panels are involved, the paint type (solid, metallic or pearlescent) and whether it is a colour change, which needs the door shuts and edges done too. A single panel is far cheaper than a full car. We give you a clear, free quote once we have seen the car.
Do I need a full respray or just a panel?+
Most cars only need the affected panels resprayed and blended into the ones around them, which costs much less than the whole car. A full respray is for widespread fading, heavy damage across many panels, or a colour change. Bring the car in and we will tell you which it needs before any work starts.
Do I have to tell the DVLA if I change my car's colour?+
Yes. If you change the colour you must update the V5C logbook so it shows the new colour, which is free to do, and it is worth telling your insurer as well. We can talk you through it when you book a colour change.
How long does a respray take?+
A single panel can often be done in a day, while a full respray or colour change takes longer because every edge, shut and panel has to be prepped and painted properly. We give you a realistic timeline once we have seen the car.
Will the new paint match the rest of the car?+
Yes. We match to your car's paint code and blend into the surrounding panels so a panel respray is not obvious. For a full respray or colour change the whole car is done in one colour, including the shuts and edges, so it looks factory.
Prefer to change the look without paint? Ask about car wrapping. We also do scratch, dent and bumper repair, alloy refurbishment and full mechanical work in Tottenham Hale.
