We strongly discourage relying on online DIY guides or directories that provide vague price ranges, such as $400-$700 per panel or fixed costs for a full respray. These figures are often outdated and in no way remotely accurate, leading to disappointment and frustration when the actual costs do not align with expectations.

The reason for this is that the cost of a car respray depends on a variety of factors unique to each job. It’s difficult to provide a price without understanding the specifics of your vehicle and its condition. Below are some key factors we need to know and consider before providing you an initial assessment:

• Vehicle Make/Model/Year: Each vehicle is different, and factors like size, design complexity, and how easily panels can be disassembled, reassembled and repaired affect the work required.
• Paint Type: Different paint finishes can significantly impact the price. Specialty options like candy colours, pearl and metallics tend to be more expensive due to their complexity and premium nature.
• Extent of work: Whether you have a few affected panels or need a full respray for the entire vehicle will influence the price.
• Type of Damage: The process for rectifying paint flaking requires a different set of steps and materials compared to a custom colour change.
• Location of Damage: The area of the car affected by the damage matters. Some parts, such as edges, curves, and hard-to-reach areas, are more difficult and time-consuming to repair, align and respray, which can add to the overall cost.

Given these many variables, it's crucial to have a proper evaluation of your vehicle to determine the exact scope of work and cost involved. Contact us for a personalised quote based on the specifics of your car's needs.

We strongly advise against relying on ballpark figures when considering a car respray, as these estimates often fail to capture the unique needs and complexities of your vehicle.

While ballpark figures may seem convenient for comparison shopping, they rarely reflect the full scope of the work involved. Without a clear understanding of what those estimates include, you risk comparing "apples to oranges" and could end up disappointed with the final result or the price. Different shops may include varying levels of service, preparation, and materials, making it difficult to compare quotes accurately. For example, customers who choose a shop based on a ballpark figure might later find out that the shop quoted only for a "quick respray" which meant fixtures like door handles or side mirrors weren’t removed during the respray, leading to overspray and flaking paint edges. Or, the shop might have accounted for inadequate masking and preparation, leading to unwanted overspray on areas like rims.

So, when you ask for a ballpark figure, what are you really getting? To ensure you're receiving the right service for your vehicle, we recommend to come to our workshop 8AM untill 6PM in Pinelands or call us to book appointment first 0428919566

It is important to know the difference between an Open Door Respray and a Closed Door Respray, as it impacts both the final result, and the scope of work involved.

An Open Door Respray is considered a full respray, as it involves painting the entire vehicle, including the exterior and the interior edges such as door jambs, frames, and sills. This method ensures a seamless colour change with no visible traces of the original paint when the doors are opened, providing a consistent, flawless finish across the vehicle.

A Closed Door Respray focuses only on the visible exterior surfaces of the car, excluding areas like the inner door frames and edges. While this approach is suitable for refreshing the car’s outer appearance, it is not ideal for colour change respray projects. Since the inner areas are not painted, the original paint will still be visible when the doors are opened, leading to an inconsistent look. For a true, uniform colour change, a full Open Door Respray is recommended.

Yes, we can match your car’s colour. We begin by using your vehicle’s colour code, found on the VIN plate, and then employ a spectrophotometer to ensure a correct match. Additionally, our experienced technicians use their trained eye to identify and correct any discrepancies, ensuring a flawless result.

In cases of sun fading or difficult-to-match limited-edition colours, we rely on traditional techniques, mixing and spraying test panels until the perfect match is achieved.

Due to the numerous factors involved, such as vehicle make, model, color, and the nature and extent of any damage, we cannot rely on verbal descriptions to provide a quote. Our Vehicle damage analysts need to visually assess your vehicle's damage. To make this process easier and give you the best service, simply submit your vehicle photos and details through our email or text 0434907933. or call us to book appointment 0428919566

We do not offer interior customisations such as seat belts and upholstery, however there are speacialised businesses in Darwin that can help you.

We do not recommend painting brake calipers yourself due to the need for careful preparation and the use of the right paint to ensure proper adhesion.

A professional caliper colour change ensures correct preparation and the use of high-temperature paint specifically designed to withstand the extreme heat generated during braking. These specialised paints can endure temperatures up to 400°C and will not crack, peel, or fade under heat stress, ensuring long-lasting, vibrant results.

Beyond preserving your vehicle's aesthetic appeal, fixing scratches is essential to prevent deeper issues. Left unaddressed, deeper scratches can lead to paint flaking and rust formation over time.

The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique serial number that allows us to accurately identify your vehicle. This ensures that the repair methods and parts are appropriately matched, resulting in precise quotes.

The VIN number is typically located on a small metal plaque under the hood in the engine bay, on the driver’s or passenger side door jambs, or on your vehicle’s registration paperwork.
