Honda CR-V, respray from tired to showroom condition.

This Honda CR-V came in with dull, chipped, and scratched paintwork across multiple panels. Over seven working days the team stripped it down, patched the bodywork, and resprayed the full exterior.

What the car came in for

This Honda CR-V arrived at Revol Carz with paintwork that had seen better days: dull across the body, stone chips and scratches on multiple panels, and a few dents that needed sorting before any paint could go on.

Over seven working days the car was stripped down, panels checked and patched, surfaces sanded smooth, masked up, then resprayed and polished. The photos below follow that process from arrival through to the before and after reveal.

What a full respray involves

A full respray goes deeper than applying new colour. The quality of the result depends almost entirely on what happens before any paint is laid: stripping trim and panels, identifying and patching dents and stone chip damage, and sanding the surface level.

  • Surface stripped, dents patched, and sanded smooth before any paint
  • Primer coat for a stable, long-lasting finish
  • Sanded and machine-polished after spraying for a deep gloss
  • Full reassembly and interior detail before handover

At Revol Carz the panels are primed and wet-sanded, then carefully masked before spraying. After the coat is laid, the paint is sanded once more and machine-polished to bring up an even, deep shine before the car is reassembled.
