Honda Civic, resprayed and back to its best.

Oxidation had left this Honda Civic's paintwork dull, with peeling clear coat and scratches across the body. The owner asked for a full exterior respray to give the car a fresh start.

What the car came in for

Time and wear had taken their toll on this Honda Civic. Oxidation had left the paintwork dull and lifeless, with peeling clear coat and scratches visible across the surface. The owner brought it in for a full exterior respray.

Over the course of a week the team dismantled the necessary parts, repaired and patched the paintwork flaws, wet-sanded the body smooth, masked off every non-painted surface, and resprayed the car in the booth. 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 get in the way, patches chips and flaws, 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.

  • Necessary parts dismantled for a clean, precise job
  • Chips and flaws patched and the body wet-sanded smooth
  • Every non-painted surface masked before spraying
  • Full exterior coat applied in a dedicated spray booth

Once the car is sprayed in the booth, the paint is sanded back and polished to bring up the shine, and the trim and parts are refitted. The result is an even, glossy coat that lifts a tired, oxidised car back to showroom condition.
