What the car came in for

This Volvo S60 came in for a full exterior respray. Its paintwork had become dull and damaged, and the owner wanted a fresh new look for the car.

The team dismantled the parts that needed to come away, examined the paintwork, applied putty to level the uneven areas, then wet-sanded the whole body smooth before masking and spraying it in the booth. After spraying, the surface was touched up and compound-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 examines the paintwork, repairs the damage and applies putty to level the uneven areas, then 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.

  • Damage repaired and uneven areas levelled with putty
  • Whole surface wet-sanded, every non-painted area masked
  • Full exterior coat applied in a dedicated spray booth
  • Compound-polished to a mirror shine and sealed with ZeTough Ceramic

Once the car is sprayed in the booth, the surface is touched up and compound-polished to a mirror 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.
