Paint repair is the respraying of one or more panels to bring back colour and gloss: sanding, primer, colour-matched base coat and new clear coat. It is done in a spray booth, so the car is collected from JBR, painted at a partner workshop and returned. Send photos on WhatsApp or call, 24/7, to start.

What's included

  • Paint code read from the car's plate and the colour checked against the car itself, since paint fades
  • Failed clear coat and damaged paint sanded back to a sound layer
  • Primer, colour base coat and clear coat sprayed in a closed booth
  • Colour blended into the neighbouring panels so the join does not show
  • Paint baked, then flatted and machine polished
  • Trim, handles, badges and lights removed or masked properly, not sprayed over

Signs you need it

  • Clear coat peeling in sheets or turning white and flaky on the roof or bonnet
  • Paint that looks flat and chalky and no longer shines after a wash
  • One panel is a slightly different shade from the others after an earlier repair
  • Stone chips on the bonnet and front bumper that show primer or bare metal
  • Small rust bubbles under the paint around wheel arches or door edges

Paint repair: How it works

From first message to driving away usually takes under an hour.

  1. Photos and inspection

    Send photos taken in daylight on WhatsApp. For anything unclear a technician looks at the car in your parking and checks how deep the damage goes and which panels need blending.

  2. Collection and respray

    The car is collected and taken to the partner workshop. The panels are sanded, primed, sprayed in the matched colour and clear coated in the booth, then baked.

  3. Polish and return

    After curing, the new paint is polished and compared with the rest of the car in daylight. Then the car is delivered back to your building.

Good to know in JBR

Paint ages fast by the beach. Cars parked outside along JBR get strong sun on the roof and bonnet all year, and the clear coat on those panels is usually the first to fail. Salt spray and wind-blown sand add to it. Once clear coat starts to peel it cannot be polished back or patched. The panel has to be sanded and resprayed. Covered parking and regular washing slow the damage down.

    Car was dead on P2 after three weeks away. Sent the tower and bay number on WhatsApp and the technician was at the car in about 25 minutes. He tested it first and showed me the printout before changing anything.

    The dealership quoted me three days. These guys fitted an AGM battery in my building's basement the same evening and registered it to the car. Start-stop works again.

    Honest. I was sure I needed a new battery. He jump started it, checked the alternator and told me the battery still had life in it, just drive it more. Didn't try to sell me anything.

    Friday night on The Walk so it took closer to 40 minutes than 30, but they called to say so. Battery is in the boot on mine and he knew exactly where to go. Paid with Tabby.

    Called at 1am after a flight. Someone answered straight away and the car was running before 2. Warranty written on the invoice, old battery taken away.

    Clear about the options. Three brands that fit my car, what each one cost and how long the warranty was, all on WhatsApp before he set off. No surprises when he arrived.

    Second time I've used them, different car. Same result: on time, clean job, terminals cleaned without me asking. I've saved the number.

    Security at my cluster can be difficult with outside contractors. They told me exactly what to say to the gate and it went smoothly. Battery changed in twenty minutes.

Paint repair: common questions

Will the new paint match the rest of the car?

The workshop starts from the paint code, then adjusts the mix against your car, because the original colour shifts with years of sun. Blending into the next panel hides small differences. Metallic and pearl colours are the hardest to match, and we say so before the job starts if yours is one.

Can peeling clear coat be repaired without respraying?

No. Clear coat that has lifted has lost its bond with the colour layer underneath. Polishing it, or spraying new clear over it, will not hold. The affected panel is sanded back to a sound surface and given new base coat and clear coat.

How long does a panel respray take?

It depends on the number of panels and the colour. One or two panels are commonly a matter of a few days, including curing time. A full-car respray takes much longer. You get an expected return date before the car is collected.
