Jaguar XE, resprayed back to a showroom finish.

This XE came in with chipped and scratched paintwork that needed repair. The owner wanted it restored, so the car went in for a full exterior respray, finished with a ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating.

What the car came in for

The paintwork on this Jaguar XE had picked up paint chips, scratches and stone chips. The owner wanted the car restored, so it came in for a fresh coat of paint and a full exterior respray.

The team examined the body for chips and scratches, patched the imperfections, wet-sanded the whole surface smooth, then masked off the non-painted surfaces before spraying the car in the booth. Another round of sanding and buffing brought up the shine, and a ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating finished the job. 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 examines the body, patches paint chips and scratches, wet-sands the whole surface smooth, and masks off every part that should not be painted. A sound, even foundation is what makes the final finish look right.

  • Paint chips and scratches examined and patched
  • Body wet-sanded smooth and fully masked before spraying
  • Full exterior coat applied in a dedicated spray booth
  • Buffed to a deep shine and sealed with ZeTough Ceramic

Once the car is sprayed in the booth, the paint is wet-sanded and buffed to bring up the shine, the trim and parts are refitted, and a ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating is applied on top to keep the finish glossy and protected for years.
