What the car came in for

This Subaru Impreza came in for a full exterior respray. Its paintwork had become dull and damaged, and the owner wanted the car brought back to a showroom-fresh look.

The team dismantled the parts that needed to come away, patched the chipped areas, then wet-sanded the whole body smooth before masking and spraying it in the booth. After the paint was oven-baked, the surface was sanded again and polished, the parts were refitted, and a ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating sealed the finish. The photos below follow the car through the job.

What a full respray involves

A full respray is mostly preparation. Before any colour goes on, the team patches the chipped areas, 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.

  • Chips patched and the body wet-sanded smooth
  • Every non-painted surface masked before spraying
  • Full exterior coat sprayed and oven-baked in the booth
  • Polished to a deep shine and sealed with ZeTough Ceramic

Once the car is sprayed and oven-baked 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.
