BMW 6 Series, resprayed and back to a gleaming finish.

Paint chips and scratches had spread across this BMW 6 Series, so it came in for a full exterior respray, finished with a ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating.

What the car came in for

This BMW 6 Series had picked up paint chips and scratches across many areas of the body. The owner wanted to restore the car to showroom condition, so it came in for a full exterior respray.

Over the course of a week the team dismantled the necessary parts, checked the body for paintwork imperfections, patched and wet-sanded the panels smooth, masked off the non-painted surfaces, and resprayed the car in the booth. A ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating went on at the end for a lasting, glossy 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 dismantles the parts that come off, 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.

  • Removable parts dismantled before any spraying
  • Chips patched and the body wet-sanded smooth
  • Every non-painted surface masked before spraying
  • Buffed to a deep shine and sealed with ZeTough Ceramic

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