Motorcycle paintwork takes a beating. Stone chips, boot scuffs, sun fade, fuel spills and the odd low-speed drop all leave their mark sooner or later. Some bikes wear it well. Others just start to look tired, even if they still ride perfectly. We see both in the workshop all the time.
At White’s Bodyworks, we carry out motorcycle paintwork repairs and full resprays for riders across Hassocks, Burgess Hill, Haywards Heath and the wider West Sussex area. This isn’t quick blow-over work. It’s proper preparation, correct paint systems, and finishes that last because the groundwork was done right.
Not every mark needs paint. We’ll be straight about that. But in practice, resprays are worth considering when:
Most people don’t realise how much difference correct prep makes. 90% of a good finish occurs before any paint is sprayed.
We regularly work on:
Whether it’s a tidy refresh, accident repair blending, or a complete colour change, the approach is the same. Strip, prepare, repair, paint, and finish properly.
Bike paintwork isn’t the same as car paintwork. Panels are smaller, shapes are tighter, and flaws stand out more. In practice, rushed work looks awful on a bike.
Our process usually involves:
We don’t cut corners on prep because it always shows six months later.
If you’re repairing accident damage or touching up a bike, colour matching matters. We take time to get it right so panels don’t stand out in the sun or under workshop lights.
For full resprays, we’ll talk you through:
We’re happy to provide professional input if you'd like it. Some colours look great on a screen and less great on a tank. Experience counts there.
Motorcycle paintwork varies a lot depending on condition and expectations, but these are honest ranges based on what we see in the workshop:
Prices depend on preparation time, required repairs, colour choice, and finish. We’ll always inspect the bike first and explain what’s driving the cost.
In practice, good paintwork takes time. Anyone promising next-day full resprays is cutting corners somewhere.
