How Long Does a Car Respray Take?

When you're planning around being without the car, this is a fair question. Here's a realistic guide.

A single panel

A single panel repair and refinish can often be turned around in a day or two, depending on prep and drying times.

A full respray

A full respray is a proper process — strip, repair, prime, paint, bake, reassemble and check. Depending on size and condition, that typically means several days to a couple of weeks. A colour change adds time, because door shuts and apertures need painting too.

Why prep takes the time

Most of the hours go into what you never see: stripping back, sorting dents and rust, masking and priming. It's exactly what separates a finish that lasts from one that fails within a year.

Staying mobile

For bigger jobs we have a courtesy car, so being without your own needn't be a headache. We'll give you a realistic timeframe when we see the car — an honest one, not an optimistic one.
