What the car came in for

This Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross arrived at Revol Carz with dents, scratches, and stone chips spread across most of the body panels. The owner wanted the paint restored to its original condition, not a colour change, just a proper return to factory standard.

Over several days the car was stripped down, its panels patched and wet-sanded smooth, masked, then resprayed and polished. The photos below follow that work from the day it arrived through to the before and after reveal.

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 dents and chips 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
  • Reassembled and detailed before handover

At Revol Carz the panels are primed, wet-sanded again, then carefully masked before spraying. After the coat is laid, the paint is sanded once more, polished to bring up the shine, and the car is reassembled.
