BMW 5 Series, resprayed and back to its best.

This BMW 5 Series came in with oxidised, scratched paintwork. The owner sent it in for a full exterior respray to bring the car back to life.

What the car came in for

The paintwork on this BMW 5 Series had seen better days. Oxidation had left it dull and there were scratches across several panels, so the owner sent the car in for a full exterior respray.

Over the course of a week the team dismantled the necessary parts, examined the surface for scratches and dents and patched them, wet-sanded the body smooth, masked off the non-painted surfaces, and resprayed the car in the booth before buffing it to a deep shine. 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 patches chips, 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.

  • Chips patched and the body wet-sanded smooth
  • Every non-painted surface masked before spraying
  • Full exterior coat applied in a dedicated spray booth
  • Wet-sanded and buffed to an even, deep shine

Once the car is sprayed in the booth, the paint is wet-sanded and buffed to bring up the shine, and the trim and parts are refitted. The result is an even, glossy finish across every panel.
