Lexus LS 460, resprayed and back to showroom condition.

Dull paintwork and scratches had taken the shine off this Lexus LS 460, so it came in for a full exterior respray and a gleaming new coat of paint.

What the car came in for

The paintwork on this Lexus LS 460 had grown dull and picked up scratches and blemishes. The owner wanted the car restored to showroom condition, so it came in for a full exterior respray.

Over the course of a week the team dismantled the necessary parts, checked the body for paintwork imperfections, 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.
