Honda HR-V, resprayed back to its best.

What the car came in for

This Honda HR-V arrived at Revol Carz with deep scratches, dented panels, and paintwork that needed a full refresh. The owner wanted the car restored to showroom condition.

Over seven days the car was stripped down, its panels patched and wet-sanded smooth, masked, primed, resprayed, and polished. The photos below follow that process from arrival through to the before and after reveal, with ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection applied 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 applied: dismantling trim and components, checking every panel for dents and scratches, patching and smoothing with filler, and wet-sanding until the surface is flat.

  • Surface stripped, patched, and wet-sanded smooth before any paint
  • Primer coat for a stable, long-lasting finish
  • Polished to a deep, even gloss after spraying
  • Sealed with a ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating

At Revol Carz the panels are primed, wet-sanded again, then masked before spraying. After the coat is laid, the paint is sanded once more and polished to bring up the shine. The car is reassembled and, where requested, finished with a ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating to keep the new paint protected for years.
