Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a full respray and panel painting?
A full respray covers the entire exterior of the vehicle and sometimes includes hidden areas like door jambs, sills and under the bonnet. It’s often chosen for colour changes or major restorations. Panel painting, on the other hand, involves painting a specific area — such as a bumper, door or bonnet — usually to fix damage or blend new paint into the existing finish. Panel painting is quicker and cheaper but relies on precise colour matching and blending to avoid noticeable differences. Which one you need depends on the damage, your budget, and the condition of the surrounding paintwork.
How long does a car respray take from start to finish?
Turnaround times depend on the scope of work and condition of the vehicle, but most spray painting jobs take between 2-10 business days. A small panel repair or touch-up may only take a day or two, while a full-body respray — especially with prep like sanding, rust removal or dent repair — can stretch over a week or more. The curing time of the paint, insurance approval (if applicable), and paint availability can also influence timelines. A good repairer will be upfront about timing and update you if anything changes during the job.
Is it possible to colour match a respray?
Yes — with modern paint-matching technology and skilled application, a high-quality repairer can precisely match your car’s original colour, even if it has aged or faded slightly over time. We use colour codes specific to your vehicle’s make and model, then adjust the mix as needed to account for weathering or previous repairs. Blending the paint into surrounding panels also helps ensure a seamless finish. That said, perfect results rely on proper prep, clean environments, and experienced spray painters — not just a colour code. Always ask about the process your repairer uses if colour match is important to you.
