Want Something New? Colour Change Respray Perth Flawless Finish, Durable Paint, 100% Colour Match

A colour change costs considerably more than a same-colour respray because door jambs, shuts, channels and the engine bay all have to be sprayed. Expect a premium over a standard full respray, and prestige vehicles or pearl and candy finishes can exceed $20,000. We quote after inspecting the vehicle and confirming the finish you want.

Yes. In Western Australia a colour change is recorded on your vehicle's details using the Change of Vehicle Details form (Form E36 — change of engine and/or colour), lodged at a Driver and Vehicle Services centre or DVS agent. We'll tell you what to complete when your car is handed back, and you should confirm current requirements with DVS as forms and fees do change.

Yes. Your policy and your registration record both describe your vehicle's colour. If they no longer match the car, a claim can be delayed or disputed. Notify your insurer once the change is complete — it's a short call and it protects you.

Because of everything you can't see from outside. A same-colour respray only needs the exterior surfaces. A colour change needs door jambs, door shuts, boot channel, bonnet underside and engine bay as well, which means full disassembly and significantly more labour and paint.

It can. Some buyers pay less for a car that isn't its factory colour, particularly on prestige and collectable vehicles. A high-quality, fully documented change with jambs and engine bay sprayed holds value far better than a cheap exterior-only job.

Usually two to four weeks. Disassembly, preparation and reassembly account for most of that, and multi-layer finishes need additional booth time between coats. We give you a firm timeframe after assessment.

A wrap is worth considering if you want a temporary change and your existing paint is in good condition — it's reversible and protects the paint underneath. A respray is the better option if the original paint is already failing, or if you want the change to be permanent and complete.

Yes, though it takes more coats and more preparation to achieve even coverage, which increases the cost. Going light to dark is generally more straightforward. We'll tell you what your specific combination involves before quoting.

Yes — bonnets, roofs, mirrors and stripes are common partial changes and cost far less than a full colour change. Check whether the change still needs to be recorded on your vehicle details, since that depends on how much of the car is affected.

Yes. Your colour change is covered by our lifetime workmanship guarantee for as long as you own the vehicle. If the finish lifts, hazes, peels or fails due to our workmanship, we correct it at no charge.
