What the car came in for

This Audi A3 came in with paintwork blemishes and scratches across many areas of the body. The owner wanted the car restored to showroom condition with a fresh coat of paint.

Over the course of a week the team dismantled the necessary parts, repaired the scratches and applied putty to restore the body lines, then wet-sanded the whole car smooth before masking and spraying. A ZeTough Paint Protection coating went on at the end. The photos below follow the car from arrival to the finished reveal.

What a full respray involves

A full respray is mostly preparation. Before any colour goes on, the team dismantles parts, repairs scratches, applies putty, wet-sands the whole body smooth, and masks off every surface that should not be painted. A sound, even foundation is what makes the final finish look right.

  • Scratches repaired and the body wet-sanded smooth
  • Every non-painted surface masked before spraying
  • Full exterior coat applied in a dedicated spray booth
  • Polished to a deep shine and sealed with ZeTough Paint Protection

Once the car is sprayed in the booth, the paint is sanded and polished to bring up the shine, the trim and parts are refitted, and a ZeTough Paint Protection coating is applied on top to keep the finish glossy and protected for years.
