What does a car respray cost?

Panel respray from 5,000 CZK, full respray from 150,000 CZK. What drives the price and why a fixed price in writing matters.

Updated

Short answer: respraying a single panel starts at 5,000 CZK, a bonnet, boot lid or roof at 8,000 CZK, and a full respray at 150,000 CZK. We give the exact price from your photos and confirm the fixed price in writing before any work begins.

The price of paintwork isn't a single number. It depends on the extent of the damage, the state of the paint and whether it's a local repair, a single panel respray or renewing the paint on the whole car.

Local repair and panel respray

On individual panels — wing, door, bumper — prices start in the low thousands of crowns. A local repair is usually cheaper than respraying the whole panel because the rest of the surface is left alone. Whether a local repair is enough comes down to depth: a scratch in the clear coat is one thing, a groove down to the primer quite another.

Full respray

A full respray is the most demanding job. The car is stripped, the surface sanded and filled, the paint mixed to the car's code and sprayed in a closed booth. Most of the time goes not into spraying but into preparation — on an uneven base every ripple would show in the final gloss. With us a full respray starts at 150,000 CZK.

What affects the price most

The colour (metallics and pearls are harder to blend), the state of the substrate (corrosion under the paint lengthens the job), how much has to be dismantled, and whether hidden surfaces need painting too — door shuts, for instance, when the colour changes.

Why a fixed price in writing

The most common worry customers have is extra charges they only hear about at the end. That's why we confirm the scope and the fixed price in writing before work starts. If hidden damage appears once the panel is opened, we stop and discuss the next step with you first.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a full respray cost?

A full respray starts at 150,000 CZK. The price rises with the difficulty of the shade, the amount of dismantling and the state of the substrate — which is why we confirm it in writing after inspecting the car.

Does the whole panel have to be painted?

It depends on the depth of the damage. A scratch in the clear coat can often be polished out; a groove down to the primer has to be repaired and painted. It also matters whether the shade can be blended in the middle of a surface.

How long will the car be in the workshop?

We give the timeline upfront together with the price — and we keep it. A local repair takes days; a full respray takes considerably longer because of preparation and drying.

Why does a fixed price in writing matter?

The most common fear is a surcharge you only hear about at the end. A fixed price in writing before the work rules that out: if hidden damage appears once we open things up, we stop and agree the next step with you first.
