A complete vehicle respray typically takes 5-10 business days depending on: vehicle size and complexity, extent of preparation work needed, number of coats required, custom work like graphics or special finishes, and curing time between coats. The process includes thorough cleaning, sanding, priming, multiple color coats, clear coat application, and final polishing. We never rush the process — proper preparation and curing time are essential for a durable, high-quality finish that will last for years.

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is a technique that removes dents without affecting the original paint. Specialized tools are used to carefully massage the metal back to its original shape from behind the panel. PDR works best for: small to medium-sized dents without paint damage, hail damage, door dings from parking lots, minor creases, and dents with good access to the panel backside. PDR cannot be used when paint is cracked, scratched, or chipped, when the dent is on a body line or edge, when the metal is stretched too far, or when there's no access behind the panel. PDR is faster, cheaper, and preserves your original factory paint.

We use a spectrophotometer — a sophisticated device that reads your vehicle's exact paint color by analyzing how light reflects off the surface. This accounts for: original color code variations, fading from sun exposure, weathering and aging effects, and previous repairs with slight color differences. The spectrophotometer provides a precise color formula that our computerized mixing system uses to create a perfect match. We also spray test panels and compare under different lighting conditions before painting your vehicle. This technology allows us to achieve invisible repairs where the new paint blends seamlessly with the original.

Both options change your vehicle's appearance, but they differ significantly. Paint is permanent; vinyl wrap is reversible. Paint offers unlimited color customization and can be touched up; wraps come in many finishes (matte, satin, chrome, color-shift) but have limited touch-up options. A quality paint job lasts 10-15+ years with proper care; wraps typically last 5-7 years before needing replacement. Paint requires extensive preparation and multiple days; wraps can often be completed in 2-4 days. Full respray costs more upfront but lasts longer; wraps cost less initially but need periodic replacement. Wraps also protect your original paint underneath, which is beneficial for resale or lease returns.

Most plastic bumper damage can be repaired rather than replaced, saving significant cost. We can repair: scuffs and scrapes, cracks and splits (using specialized plastic welding), dents and deformations (with heat reshaping), minor holes and punctures, and paint damage. Replacement is recommended when: damage is too extensive for structural repair, multiple cracks compromise integrity, mounting points are broken, the bumper is severely deformed, or the cost of repair approaches replacement cost. We'll honestly assess your bumper and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Repairs typically cost 40-70% less than replacement with comparable results.

Body painting costs vary based on work scope. Typical ranges: Single panel (door, fender): AED 500-1,200; Bumper respray: AED 400-900; Partial respray (2-3 panels): AED 1,500-3,500; Full vehicle respray (standard): AED 4,000-8,000; Full respray (premium/luxury): AED 8,000-15,000+; Custom paint jobs: AED 10,000-30,000+. Factors affecting price include: vehicle size, current paint condition, color change vs. same color, paint quality selected, and custom work. We provide detailed written estimates after inspecting your vehicle, so you'll know exactly what to expect.

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your paint, creating a protective layer. Benefits include: extreme hydrophobic properties (water beads and rolls off), UV protection against fading, chemical resistance to bird droppings, tree sap, and acid rain, enhanced gloss and depth of color, easier cleaning and maintenance, and protection lasting 2-5+ years depending on product grade. Ceramic coating is worth it if you: want to preserve your paint long-term, prefer easier vehicle maintenance, plan to keep your car for several years, or have a new or freshly painted vehicle. It's an investment that pays off in reduced maintenance time and preserved paint condition.

Orange peel (bumpy texture resembling orange skin) is prevented through: proper paint viscosity and thinning ratios, correct spray gun settings and technique, optimal booth temperature and humidity (our climate-controlled booths ensure this), appropriate distance and speed when spraying, correct number of coats with proper flash time, and skilled technician experience. After painting, any minor texture is removed through wet sanding and polishing for a glass-smooth finish. Our quality control includes inspection under specialized lighting to detect any texture issues before delivery. The result is a factory-smooth finish that meets luxury vehicle standards.

Yes, we offer comprehensive rust repair services. The process involves: complete removal of all rust using grinding and chemical treatment, assessment of metal condition — minor surface rust is treated in place; severe rust requires cutting out and welding in new metal, application of rust-inhibiting primer, body filler (if needed) and finishing, and seam sealing and undercoating to prevent future rust. For structural components, we ensure repairs maintain the vehicle's integrity. Prevention is easier than repair — we also offer rust-proofing treatments for vehicles before rust develops, particularly important for older vehicles or those exposed to humidity.

We offer comprehensive warranties on all body shop services: Paintwork: 5-year warranty against peeling, flaking, fading, and color mismatch under normal conditions; Panel repairs: Lifetime warranty on structural repairs and panel work; Dent repair: 2-year warranty on PDR work; Ceramic coating: Warranty matching the product grade (typically 2-5 years); Vinyl wrap: 1-year warranty on installation. Our warranties cover materials and workmanship. They don't cover damage from accidents, improper care, or environmental factors beyond normal wear. We also provide care instructions to help you maintain your vehicle's finish and maximize warranty protection.
