What the car came in for

This Hyundai Sonata arrived at Revol Carz with paintwork that had lost its shine across the whole car: rust spots, paint peel-off, and deep scratches on multiple panels. The owner wanted a full exterior respray to bring it back to showroom condition.

Over seven days the car was stripped down, its panels patched and wet-sanded smooth, primed, masked, then resprayed and polished. The photos below follow that work from the day it arrived through to the before and after reveal, with the car sealed in a ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating 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 laid: dismantling trim and parts, checking the surface for imperfections, patching chipped and uneven areas with filler, and wet-sanding until the foundation is smooth.

  • Surface stripped, patched, and wet-sanded smooth before any paint
  • Primer coat for a stable, long-lasting finish
  • Oven-baked, then sanded and polished to a deep shine
  • Sealed with a ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating

At Revol Carz the panels are primed, wet-sanded again, then carefully masked before spraying. After the coat is laid and oven-baked, the paint is sanded once more, polished to bring up the shine, and the car is reassembled. A ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating on top keeps the new paint protected and glossy for years.
