White's Bodyworks provides professional car resprays from our fully equipped workshop in West Sussex, including complete colour changes, full-body resprays, individual panel refinishing and paintwork following body repairs.
Every respray starts with careful preparation. Before paint is applied, we assess the existing finish, deal with damage or corrosion where required and prepare the surface properly so the final result is smooth, consistent and built to last.
We work on modern cars, specialist vehicles and classics, with colour matching available for both complete and partial refinishing.
Attention to detail is critical when it comes to car resprays. That's why I chose Phil and his team at White's Bodyworks. Their spray room is state-of-the art and all the team are professionally qualified and time-served. They did a great job on my Mercedes R107. Cliff, Petworth
The quality of a car respray is determined long before the final colour coat is applied.
Scratches, dents, corrosion, previous repairs and uneven paintwork all need to be addressed properly before refinishing begins. Simply spraying over a poor surface can leave defects visible through the new paint and reduce the life of the finish.
Our process therefore starts with the condition of the bodywork. Depending on the vehicle and the scope of the job, this can involve stripping components, repairing damaged panels, treating corrosion, filling and shaping repaired areas, priming and repeatedly checking the surface before paint is applied.
For vehicles requiring more extensive work before refinishing, we can also carry out car body repairs as part of the same project.
Once preparation is complete, the vehicle or individual panels are refinished in our dedicated spray facilities using suitable automotive paint systems and colour-matching equipment.
Not every vehicle needs a complete respray. We tailor the work to the condition of the car and the result you are trying to achieve.
If you are unsure whether your car needs a full respray or more localised paint repair, send us photographs of the vehicle and we can advise on the most appropriate approach.
Colour matching is particularly important when only part of a vehicle is being refinished.
Even when the original manufacturer paint code is known, the colour currently on the car may have changed slightly through age, exposure or previous paintwork. The aim is therefore not simply to mix the factory colour, but to achieve a finish that works with the surrounding panels.
Depending on the repair, this can involve careful colour adjustment and blending so that the refinished area does not appear as an obvious replacement panel.
This is especially important after dent and scratch repairs, accident damage or localised bodywork repairs.
Our bodywork and paintwork are carried out by an experienced team at our workshop near Hassocks in West Sussex.
Keeping the preparation, repair and refinishing stages together means we can deal with problems discovered during the job rather than simply painting over them. If corrosion, poor previous repairs or damaged metal are uncovered during preparation, these can be assessed before the respray continues.
We regularly undertake everything from straightforward panel refinishing to larger projects involving extensive bodywork and complete resprays.
Classic vehicles requiring more specialist paintwork are covered separately by our classic car respray service.
