Well, the practical answer would be if the scratch is deep enough. There’s many layers to the car spray paint. Sometimes, only the lacquer layer is scratched. That isn’t too bad and you don’t need to respray that part too urgently. But if you car paint get scratched, best to get it done as soon as possible. Due to Singapore’s weather and air, the affected area will thin down reaching the car body. Over time, rust will start to appear. Once that happens, it’s becoming a disease that will soon give more problem. Treat it fast before it becomes too costly to rectify.

The usual areas that drivers tend to get nasty scratches are the front and rear bumpers and fenders. Once in a while, we get a side-mirror or door panel scratch. So, how much does it cost to spray those areas?

The common question we get is that whether can just respray the affected spot. The answer is, no. It’s like, if you’ve got a pimple and trying to use foundation to on a sweaty and oily face. It’s not going to turn out well. The best option would be to go for a partial panel respray. For those who are much more particular, get a full panel respray.

What’s for get a full panel respray?

If you go to a reputable paintshop like S M Spray Painting who never skip a step in the process of spray painting, your entire panel will be restored. Meaning, any chips, dents, uneven surface or any other issues will be rectified as well. It’s worth it!

How much does it cost to change the colour of a car?

Car colour change cost varies a little. Whether you want to change to another normal gloss colour or frozen/matte finish, the prices differs slightly.

By right, whatever the colour you choose as long as you have the colour code, any workshop can do it for you. If you give a colour code and the paintshop says they’ can’t do it, just walk away and find another one that can. Do not let them take their chances on your car. Whatever the colour you may choose, the price should be the same. If a paintshop charges different price for different colours, it’s a bit weird, unless the colour you’re asking for is outside the “periodic” table for car colours.

Can I paint my own car?

Of course you can! Just like how you can paint your own house, you can cut your own hair, you can repair your own TV set. You can do anything as long as you feel you can do it and you’re confident on doing it right. What you do may even turn out better that those super cheap paintshops out there.

All you need is the right equipment. Like a spray paint oven, spray, paint mixer, lacquer, sand block, a wide variety of sandpaper textures, putty and an eye for detail.

But, since a car is a luxury in Singapore no matter how small the car is, I don’t think anyone would take their chances. Just leave it to the pro’s and everything will turn out well. If you blotched your own paint job, the cost might increase to rectify the blotched job first then to do the actual job.

Well, in its entirety every individual requirements differ so let us run a simple breakdown of how workshops are charging you in Singapore.

This is one of the first question most car owners have in mind when it comes to refurbishing or restoring their vehicle.

The following would be the detail breakdown:

1 Specifications of your vehicle
With different size comes different prices, with the amount of work that will differ with the surface area. For example, the size of a BMW 318i and a Toyota Altis may seem similar but the price quoted will turn out to be different despite the similarity in size. This is due to the quality of paint work and colour code used.

In another example, a Mazda with candy red colour might be taken aback with the price quoted to him. Within Japanese car makes, Mazda have taken a premium stance in the way they coat their cars which in turn affects when it’s brought to a workshop.

There are also a great variation of paint like Frozen Paintwork that’s higher tier in terms of quality.

2 Partial exterior respray or Full car respray?

The differences between partial exterior respray and full car respray:

Exterior Car Respray: Only on areas where the eyes can see from the outside with doors all closed are sprayed. (For example, when the door, boot and bonnet are opened, the trimmings inside are still in its original colour.)
Full car respray: The entire car, inside/out, places where the eyes can physically see or not, are all resprayed. The car will be fully stripped to ensure every single surface area is sprayed to the same colour.
A full car respray includes the interior intricate parts of your vehicle where paint was involved in your original car design. Skilful workmanship with professional understanding of dismantling your cars would be taken into consideration and hence, the charges would be significantly higher.

3 Same color or change in color?
A change of color would mean the removal of your current paint, and reapplying paint. Charges are based on the workmanship and labour time.

4 The quality of Spray Paint and lacquer
This would make up one of the highest contribution to the charges in comparison with the many quotes you would obtain. In layman terms, the concept of quality is alike to watching a show from an old tech ( analogue TV ) to the modern day TV antenna with 4K options available. Lower grade paint would mean lower grade in output in durability.

Here at SM Spray Painting we believe in premium materials producing premium quality when coupled with great workmanship, there’s no in-between.
