What the car came in for

This Subaru WRX came to us with deep scratches, paint peel-off, stone chips and dents across the body. The owner wanted a new coat of paint to restore the car to showroom condition.

Over the course of a week the team dismantled the necessary parts, repaired the scratches and dents, wet-sanded the body smooth, masked off every non-painted surface, and resprayed the car in the booth. The new paint was sanded back, polished, and a ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating was applied. 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 get in the way, repairs scratches and dents, 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.

  • Necessary parts dismantled for a clean, precise job
  • Scratches and dents repaired and the body wet-sanded smooth
  • Every non-painted surface masked before spraying
  • Buffed to a deep shine and sealed with ZeTough Ceramic

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