Collisions damage paint across multiple panels. Your car needs color matched respraying after panel repairs. Insurance covers most accident resprays.
We work directly with your insurer. They approve our paint quotes quickly. You just pay your excess amount. The repair restores factory appearance completely.
Someone keyed your car in a car park. The scratch goes through a clear coat down to primer or bare metal. Touch up pens never match properly. Moreover, they look obviously amateur.
We sand the scratch area carefully. Primer goes on exposed metal. Then we respray the entire panel. Finally, we blend into adjacent areas. As a result, you cannot tell where the repair sits.
Melbourne sun damages car paint over years. Your bonnet and roof fade lighter than doors. The clear coat becomes chalky and dull. Polishing helps temporarily but fading returns quickly.
Full panel respray restores vibrant color permanently. We match your original factory color exactly. Modern clear coats protect against future UV damage. Your car looks fresh again.
Highway driving peppers your bonnet with stone chips. The damage exposes bare metal in dozens of spots. Each chip develops rust quickly in Melbourne weather.
We fill all the chips carefully. Then we prime the entire bonnet. Next comes a base coat in your exact color. Finally, multiple clear coats seal everything. The bonnet looks smooth and chip free.
You want to change your car’s color completely. Perhaps white to black or silver to blue. Full car resprays require stripping old paint in some areas. Door jambs, under bonnet, and boot areas get resprayed too.
This ensures color consistency everywhere. Opening doors reveals matching paint, not the old color. Custom colors take longer but deliver stunning results.
Poor previous paint jobs peel and crack within months. The painter rushed preparation or used cheap materials. Now large areas look terrible.
We strip the defective paint completely. Proper surface preparation follows strict standards. Then we apply a quality base coat and clear coat. Our lifetime warranty guarantees the paint stays perfect.
We use a spectrophotometer to read your paint’s exact color. This computer device measures color scientifically, not by eye. It captures your actual current shade.
Hot and cold weather alter paint tone over time. Rain and Melbourne sun cause fading. The spectrophotometer reads these changes. As a result, we match your aged paint perfectly, not just the original factory code.
Our computerized mixing system creates your exact color formula. We use various paint brands depending on your preference. Quality matters more than brand names.
The system calculates binder ratios precisely. Color shades get mixed to microscopic accuracy. Therefore, metallic flakes sit at correct angles. Pearl effects match your original finish perfectly.
We spray a test panel first. This sample gets compared to your car in natural daylight. Additionally, we check under workshop lights.
Colors look different in various lighting conditions. The test panel must match perfectly everywhere. Only then do we proceed to your actual vehicle.
Preparation determines paint quality more than spraying itself. We sand panels to create a perfect adhesion surface. Masking protects areas not getting painted.
Hi-fill primer goes on any repaired areas. We sand this smooth and flat. Then the base coat gets applied in multiple thin layers. Finally, a clear coat seals everything with glossy protection.
Our spray booth uses fully downdraft ventilation. Air enters from the ceiling and exits through the floor. Consequently, dust and overspray get pulled down and away.
This prevents contamination from landing on wet paint. Your finish stays smooth without orange peel or dirt nibs. Temperature and humidity stay controlled for perfect paint curing.
Paint needs proper curing time for durability. Weather affects drying significantly. We follow strict OEM standards for each paint type.
The base coat dries between layers. Clear coat needs overnight minimum before handling. Full cure takes several days depending on temperature. We never rush this critical step.
For Solid Colors:
Primer coat provides adhesion and fills minor imperfections. The base coat delivers the actual color in 2-3 layers. Clear coat seals and protects with UV resistance.
For Metallic and Pearl:
These need extra care with application. Metallic flakes must lay consistently. Pearl effects require precise layer thickness. Therefore, these finishes cost more and take additional time.
For Tri-Coat Colors:
Some reds, whites, and specialty colors use three layer systems. The base layer goes on first. Mid-coat adds depth and richness. Finally, a clear coat seals everything. Tri-coat finishes need more time and materials.
Our spectrophotometer eliminates guesswork from color matching. The computer reads your exact shade scientifically. Consequently, we achieve perfect matches every time.
In contrast, mixing by eye causes shade variations. You notice mismatches immediately in sunlight. Our technology prevents this frustration completely.
We follow original equipment manufacturer standards exactly. These ensure paint durability in Melbourne weather. If unfortunate incidents happen, we bear full responsibility.
We redo paint jobs for free if our work fails. In 15 years, this rarely occurs. Our preparation and application methods prevent failures.
We use various quality paint brands. Your preference guides our choice. Water based paints provide environmental benefits. Solvent based clear coats offer maximum durability.
Primers get selected for specific surfaces. Plastic parts need a plastic primer before the base coat. This ensures proper adhesion and flexibility.
After the paint cures completely, we polish the finish. Wet sanding removes any imperfections. Machine polishing brings out deep gloss.
As a result, your paint looks smoother than factory finish. The reflection appears mirror-like and flawless.
Faded paint never improves on its own. Scratches develop rust quickly. Moreover, your car loses value daily with poor paint.
