What the car came in for

This Audi A6 came to Revol Carz for a full body respray. The owner wanted the paintwork restored to showroom condition, a proper even finish that starts with careful preparation.

Over six days the car was stripped down, its panels patched and wet-sanded smooth, masked, then resprayed and polished. The photos below follow that work from the first day of strip-down through to the before and after reveal, with the car sealed in a ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating at the end.

What a full respray involves

A full respray is not just a change of colour. The result depends on what happens before any paint is laid: dismantling trim and parts, checking the surface for imperfections, patching chipped and uneven areas with filler, and wet-sanding until the foundation is smooth.

  • Surface stripped, patched, and wet-sanded smooth before any paint
  • Primer coat for a stable, long-lasting finish
  • Oven-baked, then sanded and polished to a deep shine
  • Sealed with a ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating

At Revol Carz the panels are primed, wet-sanded again, then carefully masked before spraying. After the coat is laid and oven-baked, the paint is sanded once more, polished to bring up the shine, and the car is reassembled. A ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating on top keeps the new paint protected and glossy for years.
