Car respray and colour matching near Horley and Crawley
One panel, a few panels or the whole car. We spray in our own booth and match the paint to your car.
We respray single panels, several panels or whole cars in our spray booth, with the colour matched to your car. Send photos on WhatsApp for a free price.
A respray can mean different things. One bumper. A wing and a door. Faded paint on a bonnet. Or a whole car.
For partial work the key is the match. Paint ages. A seven-year-old car does not have the same shade as a brand new tin of paint, even with the right paint code. So we match against your car and blend into the next panel, so you do not see where the new paint starts.
Everything is sprayed in our spray booth, where dust, temperature and humidity are under control. The paint is then polished.
There is more in our articles on how colour matching works and respray or repair. If your car only has a scratch or two, a scratch repair may be all you need.

Questions people ask
Can you match my colour exactly?
We mix paint to match your car as it is today and blend into the next panel. A good match is the aim, and metallics need the most care.
Do you respray the whole car?
Yes, full and partial resprays. Send us photos and tell us what you have in mind.
What is the difference between a respray and a repair?
A repair fixes the damage. A respray paints the panel. We cover this in respray or repair.
How long should I wait before washing the car?
Ask us when you collect it. Our guide on looking after new paint covers the basics.
Can I change the colour?
Yes, but it is a bigger job because door shuts and engine bay need painting too. Ask us for a price.
