How Long Does a Car Respray Take?

It's a fair question when you're planning around being without the car. The honest answer depends on the job β€” here's a realistic guide.

Metallic blue β€” front wing refinished

A single panel

A single panel repair and refinish can often be turned around in a day or two, depending on the prep and drying time. Small jobs move quickly once they're in.

A full respray

A full respray is a proper process β€” strip, repair, prime, paint and bake, then reassemble and check. Depending on the car's size and condition, that typically means several days to a couple of weeks. Rushing it is exactly how you end up with a finish that doesn't last.

Why prep takes the time

Most of the hours go into what you never see: stripping back, sorting dents and rust, masking and priming. That groundwork is the difference between a respray that still looks great in five years and one that bubbles in six months.
