What the car came in for

This Suzuki Swift came to Revol Carz with paint that had been peeling off and scratches across the bodywork. The owner wanted a full respray to bring the car back to proper condition.

Over seven days the car was stripped down, 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, with the car sealed in a ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating at the end.

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 chipped and uneven areas 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
  • Sealed with a ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating

At Revol Carz the panels are primed, wet-sanded again, then carefully masked before spraying. After the coat is laid and oven-baked, the paint is sanded once more, polished to bring up the shine, and the car is reassembled. A ZeTough Ceramic Paint Protection coating on top keeps the new paint protected and glossy for years.
