The benefits of getting a partial car respray Melbourne

You don't have to respray your whole car if you don't need to - a partial car respray can give you the same great results at a fraction of the price! Plus, it's a lot less hassle - you can get your car back on the road in no time.


If you looking at your car and see the paint fading, dull, or just not looking its best, then a car respray is definitely something to consider. most cars will lose that fresh and lively-looking paint job after a few years, and a car respray can really bring it back to life.


In this blog, we take a look at different types of car respray jobs including partial car respray. We also provide some car respray tips and advice on what to expect during the process as well as give an honest car respray cost guide.

What is partial car respray?

A partial car respray is when we only respray selected parts of your car. This is often done to fix specific areas that have been damaged or to change the colour of your car without having to do a full car respray.


A full respray includes painting the car's bodywork, all the car's trim, and usually the car's engine bay. So, if you're just looking to change the car's colour or touch-up some wear and tear, then a partial car respray is the way to go.


A partial respray could be cosmetic or to cover up after repairs. It all just depends on what you need. We often do car resprays in Melbourne for customers who have had an accident and need their car repaired.

Benefits of partial car respray

The main benefit of a partial car respray is that it costs a lot less than a full car respray. This is because we only need to respray selected parts of your car rather than the entire car.


Another benefit is that it's a lot less work and therefore quicker to do. This means you can get your car back on the road a lot sooner than if you were to have a full car respray.


It's also worth noting that a partial car respray is less likely to cause any problems with your car's paint job in the future. This is because we only need to remove the existing paint from selected areas, so there's less risk of damaging the car's bodywork.


If you're considering a car respray, then we definitely recommend getting a partial car respray rather than a full car respray unless you really need to. It's a lot cheaper, quicker, and causes less disruption.

Full car respray cost vs Partial car respray cost

The cost of a car respray can vary depending on a number of factors, but you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $5000 for a full car respray.


In contrast, a partial car respray will cost you a lot less - typically around $200 to $1000. So, if you're looking to save money, then a partial car respray is definitely the way to go.


That is just an estimate, the price will differ depending on the size of your car as well as the type of paint job you're after. Where you get the respray done also makes a difference - if you go to a car dealer, then the car respray cost will be higher than if you go to a specialist car respray company.

Common types of partial car respray

The most common partial car resprays are:

- bumper resprays:

this is when we respray just the car's bumper to either change the car's colour or fix any damage. Bumper resprays could give your car a whole new look without having to do a full car respray.

- bonnet/hood resprays:

this is when we respray just the car's bonnet. This is often done to change the car's colour or to repair any damage. A different colour bonnet is a classic look that can really change the look of your car.


It has been popular since the 1950's. Old American muscles cars often had different coloured bonnets. Even the more modern sporty cars, like the new Ford Mustang, come with different coloured bonnets as an option.


You are not limited to only front car resprays. We often do car roof resprays and car bootlid resprays too.

- roof resprays:

this is when we respray just the car's roof. Another classic car look is a two-tone car with a different coloured roof. This can really change the look of your car and make it stand out from the crowd.

- Patterns and graphics:

Another type of car respray that has become popular in recent years is to add patterns and graphics. This is often done on vans and utes but can be done on any car.


An ageless design could be two lines that run from the front of the car to the back. This was a popular look in the 1970's and 1980's but has made a comeback in recent years.


Another popular design is to have a pattern or graphic on the car's bonnet. This is often done with car companies' logos or with racing stripes or flames! Whatever you are into.
