Toyota Corolla Altis, resprayed back to showroom condition.

The owner of this Toyota Corolla Altis wanted that new car feel back, with no blemishes, so the car came in for a full exterior respray and a complete interior groom.

What the car came in for

This dark brown Toyota Corolla Altis came to Revol Carz for a full exterior respray. The owner wanted to recapture that new car feel, with the paintwork restored to showroom quality and every blemish gone.

Over seven days the car was stripped down, its panels checked and patched, wet-sanded smooth, masked, then resprayed and polished before being reassembled. The photos below follow that work from the day it arrived through to the before and after reveal, with a full interior groom to finish.

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 scratches and dents, patching uneven areas with filler, and wet-sanding until the foundation is smooth.

  • Trim and parts dismantled before any paint
  • Surface checked, filled, and wet-sanded smooth
  • Masked carefully before the spray booth
  • Polished smooth, then a full interior groom

At Revol Carz the panels are wet-sanded level, then carefully masked before spraying. After the coat is laid, the paint is wet-sanded and polished smooth, the car is reassembled, and the interior is groomed for the finishing finale.
