For A Typical Respray, You Can Expect:

STEP 1: The car is stripped of trims, paint, and any mouldings, door mirrors, handles, or lights.

STEP 2: Any damage, dents, or rust is fixed as much as possible.

STEP 3: Filler is applied as applicable which is then sanded down and shaped.

STEP 4: A primer is applied which sticks to the filler and lets you paint on top of it.

STEP 5: Paint is applied in whatever finish you want.

STEP 6: The new paint is rubbed with a soft, sandpaper-like cloth to buff away dirt and dust and stop grime settling in the fresh paint.

STEP 7: The car is polished up until you can see your reflection in it.
