Honda Shuttle, resprayed and back to showroom condition.

This Honda Shuttle needed paintwork repair and a fresh coat of paint, so it came in for a full exterior respray and a glossy, even finish.

What the car came in for

This Honda Shuttle needed paintwork repair and a fresh coat of paint. The owner wanted the car restored to showroom condition, so it came in for a full exterior respray.

Over the course of the job the team dismantled the necessary parts, checked the body for scratches and dents, patched and wet-sanded the panels smooth, masked off the non-painted surfaces, and resprayed the car in the booth before polishing it back 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 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
  • Full exterior coat applied in a dedicated spray booth

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.
