Car Body Repairs - Park Gate

When does a panel need respraying rather than repairing?

If a panel has deep scratches, dents, or damage that’s gone through to the metal, a respray is usually the better option compared to a smart repair. Rust, significant paint damage, or a mismatched colour from a previous repair are also common reasons a full panel respray is needed.

Will a resprayed panel match the rest of my car?

Yes. We colour match every respray to your car’s existing paintwork, so the finish is seamless rather than obviously different from the surrounding panels. This is particularly important on newer cars, where mismatched paint can be noticeable and affect the car’s value.

What’s involved in a panel respray?

• Preparing the panel, including removing old paint or filler where necessary
• Repairing any dents or damage underneath
• Priming and colour matching the paint
• Applying the finish coat and a protective lacquer

How long does a respray take?

This depends on the extent of the damage, but most single panel resprays can be completed within a few days. We’ll always give you a realistic timeframe when you bring your car in.

Why choose Station Garage?

Our body shop team takes the time to prepare each panel properly, rather than cutting corners to speed up the job. That attention to detail is what gives a resprayed panel a finish that lasts, rather than one that fades or looks different within a few months.

As members of the IGA and RMI, we’re held to independently recognised standards of business ethics, customer service, and workmanship, giving you added peace of mind whenever you bring your car to Station Garage.
