We Quote The Smaller Job
If one panel will fix it, that's what we quote. We don't upsell a full respray when blended panel work gives the same result.
Most drivers who ask about car repainting only need one or two panels done. A scraped door, a stone-chipped bonnet or a kerbed bumper can be repainted and blended into the surrounding paint, so you keep your original finish everywhere else and pay a fraction of a full job.
We mix to your factory paint code and blend across adjacent panels, which is what stops a repaired door standing out in daylight.

If one panel will fix it, that's what we quote. We don't upsell a full respray when blended panel work gives the same result.
A repaint that stops at the panel edge is visible in sunlight. We blend into adjacent panels so the repair disappears into the original finish.
Every repaint is covered for as long as you own the vehicle. If our workmanship lifts, hazes or fails, we correct it free of charge.
Factory paint fades differently on a roof than a door, so the code alone is never the whole answer. Our painters adjust the mix to your car's actual weathered colour before spraying anything.
Our refinishers practise blend transitions on scrap panels regularly. Fading new paint into old is the hardest part of panel repainting, and it is the skill that separates an invisible repair from an obvious one.
Every repainted panel is checked under high-intensity lighting against the panels beside it. If the colour reads differently from any angle, it goes back into the booth before you see the car.

No call centres, no runaround — you deal directly with the people spraying your car. If a smaller repair will do the job, we'll tell you. That's how we've earned a 4.8-star rating from Perth drivers.
Repainting a single panel in Perth typically costs $400 to $1,200 depending on the panel, the finish and how much preparation is needed. A bumper or bonnet can reach around $2,000 on larger vehicles. A full vehicle repaint starts near $1,800 for a small car and rises to about $8,000 for a large SUV or 4WD.
Yes, and it's what we recommend in most cases. We repaint the affected panel and blend the new paint into the panels either side so the repair isn't visible. Only the damaged area is touched, which keeps the cost and turnaround down.
Yes. We mix to your factory paint code, then adjust for how your paint has actually weathered, because a five-year-old roof is never the exact shade the code specifies. The mix is verified under controlled lighting before spraying.
They describe the same process at different scales. Repainting usually refers to one or several panels; a respray usually means the entire vehicle. The preparation and paint system are the same — only the coverage changes.
Most single-panel repaints take two to four days, including preparation, spraying and curing. Minor scuff and chip work can sometimes be completed the same day. A full vehicle repaint takes one to three weeks.
Modern two-pack systems with UV-resistant clear coat weather very closely to factory paint. Some variance is possible over many years, which is why we blend into adjacent panels rather than stopping hard at a panel edge.
Repainting that forms part of an accident or collision repair is generally covered. Paint that has failed through age, UV exposure or general wear is usually paid privately. We'll tell you which category applies when we assess the vehicle.
For very small stone chips on a matching colour, a touch-up can seal the metal and prevent rust. It won't give a smooth or invisible result. If the chip is wide, deep, or clustered across a bonnet, panel repainting is the better outcome.
Yes. Plastic requires a flexible primer and a different preparation process to metal panels. We repair cracks and scuffs first, prime for adhesion, then colour match and clear coat so the bumper blends with the guards beside it.
