Car resprays and colour matching in Colchester
Whether it's a single faded panel, lacquer peel across a roof or a larger refinish, we prepare and respray panels and match them to the rest of your vehicle.
Panel resprays vs full resprays
Most work is a panel or partial respray: repairing and refinishing the affected areas and blending into neighbouring panels. Full resprays and colour changes are much larger jobs; message us to discuss whether it's something we can take on for your vehicle.
Colour matching modern paint
Metallics, pearls and tri-coat finishes can look different under different light. We work from your paint code, check the match against your vehicle and blend where needed so the repair sits naturally.
Lacquer peel and faded paint
Peeling lacquer and sun-faded paint can't be polished back. The affected panels need preparing and refinishing; we'll advise which panels should be done.

When we need to see the vehicle
Respray work always needs an inspection: paint condition, previous repairs and the number of panels affect the job. Photos help with an initial estimate; final pricing follows a physical assessment at our workshop on Hythe Hill, Colchester.

Photos help us give an initial estimate. Some damage needs a physical inspection, and final pricing follows our assessment — we can't guarantee a price from photos alone. Photos are shared only in WhatsApp; this website doesn't collect uploads.
Car resprays & colour matching: common questions
Will a respray match the rest of the car?
We colour match from your paint code and blend into neighbouring panels where needed. Very faded or previously repaired paint can affect matching, and we'll be upfront about that.
Do you do colour changes?
Ask us on WhatsApp with details of your vehicle and what you have in mind, and we'll tell you honestly whether it's suitable.
