Paintwork & Resprays in Tyne and Wear

Paintwork & Resprays from our Hebburn workshop

A good paint finish is mostly preparation. Rubbing down, filling, priming and masking take much longer than spraying, and they decide whether the job looks right in a year as well as on the day. At our Hebburn bodyshop we prepare each job carefully before any paint goes on.

We offer full resprays, partial resprays, paint matching, paint correction, SMART repairs and stone-chip repairs for cars and vans across Tyne and Wear. Whether you want one scuffed bumper corner sorted or an entire vehicle refinished, we will explain the options and recommend what makes sense.

Specific services

Full resprays

A full respray refinishes the whole vehicle, either in its original colour or in a new one. It involves removing or masking trim, preparing every panel, applying primer, colour and lacquer, then reassembling and polishing. It suits cars with widespread fading, lacquer peel or multiple damaged panels.

Partial resprays

A partial respray repaints only the damaged panels and blends the paint into the areas around them. It is the usual choice after accident damage or when one or two panels have been scratched, scuffed or faded.

Paint matching

Paint matching combines the manufacturer's paint code with an inspection of how your car has aged, because sun and weather change colours over time. We adjust and test the mix and blend it into adjacent panels so the new paint is not obvious.

Paint correction

Paint correction is machine polishing that levels out swirl marks, light scratches and dull patches in the lacquer to bring back depth and gloss. It cannot remove damage that has gone through the lacquer, but it can transform tired paint.

SMART repairs

SMART repairs deal with small to medium damage such as scuffed bumper corners, door edges and minor scratches without repainting a whole panel. They are quicker and more targeted than a full panel repair, though very deep or widespread damage needs a bigger repair.

Stone-chip repairs

Stone-chip repairs fill and refinish the small chips that appear on bonnets, bumpers and door edges. Left alone, chips let moisture reach the metal and rust can bloom underneath. Repairing them early keeps the repair small.
