What the car came in for

The owner of this Jaguar XJL wanted his car brought back to its former glory. It came in for a full exterior respray, with a ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating to follow.

Over the course of a week the team dismantled the necessary parts, repaired the scratches and applied putty to restore the original body lines, then wet-sanded the whole car smooth before spraying. A ceramic coating went on at the end to seal the finish. 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 parts, repairs scratches, 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.

  • Scratches repaired and the body wet-sanded smooth
  • Every non-painted surface masked before spraying
  • Full exterior coat applied in a dedicated spray booth
  • Polished to a deep shine and sealed with ZeTough Ceramic

Once the car is sprayed in the booth, the paint is sanded and polished 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.
