Honest Price Brackets
We give you a real range before you commit, itemised across prep, paint and panel work, so you can see where your money goes.
Paint doesn't fail all at once. It starts as a dull bonnet, then the clear coat lifts on the roof. Our full car respray strips every external panel back to a sound surface and refinishes it in a sealed booth, colour matched to your factory code.
Roughly 70% of a lasting respray is preparation — the first thing a cheap quote cuts. We sand, treat and prime before any paint goes on.

We give you a real range before you commit, itemised across prep, paint and panel work, so you can see where your money goes.
Paint only lasts as long as the surface beneath it. We sand, fill and prime properly rather than spraying over existing damage.
Your respray is covered for as long as you own the vehicle. If our workmanship lifts, hazes or fails, we correct it free.
Our refinishers train directly on the paint systems we spray in Perth. Product chemistry changes constantly, and applying a modern two-pack system correctly is nothing like the enamel work of twenty years ago.
Matching a faded factory colour is a skill, not a machine output. Our painters verify every mix under controlled lighting first, because a match that reads right indoors can be obvious in Perth sun.
Every vehicle is checked under high-intensity lighting for orange peel, dust inclusion, runs and colour variance. Anything below standard goes back into the booth before you ever see the car.

Every respray leaving our Willetton workshop is overseen by Raza Hassan, our founder and refinishing lead, with over 17 years of hands-on experience in panel beating, collision repair and automotive refinishing. We're a Motor Trade Association (MTA) member and a licensed repairer, and we back every job with a lifetime workmanship guarantee.
No call centres, no runaround — you deal directly with the people spraying your car. If panel work will do instead of a full respray, we'll tell you. That's how we've earned a 4.8-star rating from Perth drivers.
A full car respray in Perth generally runs from about $1,800 for a small car with a standard finish up to around $8,000 for a large SUV or 4WD. Prestige vehicles, pearl and metallic finishes and full colour changes climb beyond that. The final figure depends on vehicle size, how much prep and rust repair is needed, and the paint system used.
Most full resprays take one to three weeks. Stripping, panel repair and preparation account for the majority of that time, and curing can't be rushed without compromising the finish. We give you a firm timeframe once the vehicle is assessed.
Usually because the two quotes describe different jobs. A closed-door respray that masks trims instead of removing them, and skips door jambs and proper sanding, costs far less — and it shows within a couple of years. Ask any shop whether trims come off and what preparation is included.
Every external panel: doors, guards, bonnet, boot, roof and bumpers. Ours also includes trim removal, rust treatment, panel repair, priming, computerised colour matching, two-pack clear coat, and a final cut and polish.
Yes. We mix to your vehicle's factory paint code and verify the match under controlled lighting before spraying. On a full respray this is more straightforward than a spot repair, since every panel is sprayed from the same batch.
A quality wrap and a quality respray often land in a similar range but suit different situations. A wrap is reversible and protects sound paint underneath. If your paint is already peeling or oxidised, a wrap only hides the problem — a respray fixes it.
Many drivers asking about a full respray only need panel work. A single panel respray typically costs $400 to $1,200. If the failure is limited to a bonnet or roof, we'll tell you that rather than sell the bigger job.
Insurance generally covers refinishing that forms part of an accident or collision repair. Paint that has failed through age, UV exposure or lack of maintenance is usually treated as wear and paid privately. We'll tell you which applies when we assess it.
Yes. Your respray is covered by our lifetime workmanship guarantee for as long as you own the vehicle. If the finish lifts, hazes or fails due to our workmanship, we correct it at no charge.
