Cost of Respraying a Car and Cheaper Options

Is your car scratched or dented? Full respraying costs anywhere from $1,500 to upwards of $5,000, so if you think it’s the only fix, think again. Full resprays are great for changing the colour of your car, but for small scratches and dents, you don’t need to spend that much. There are quicker, more affordable solutions to restore your car’s appearance and get you back on the road faster.

With over 30 years of experience, our mobile technicians come to you and handle most jobs in just a few hours. Using precise paint matching and expert tools, we make chips, scratches, and dents virtually disappear.

Car Respraying Costs in Australia

Respraying your car is time and labour-intensive and typically costs thousands. The cost can vary with factors including:

  • Vehicle Size – Larger vehicles need more labour and materials.
  • Paint Quality and Colour – Premium finishes, like metallic or pearlescent paints, come at a premium price.
  • Extra Repairs – Any rust or dents must be fixed before the job can begin.

Full car resprays can end up costing more than expected and on top of the cost, respraying means losing access to your car for days. Thankfully, for minor damage like scratches, chips, or small dents, there are more practical alternatives.

Affordable Car Repair Alternatives

Why pay thousands for a respray when you can fix small chips and scratches for a fraction of the cost? Here are three popular ways to restore your car without breaking the bank:

1. Vinyl Wrapping

Thinking about a matte or gloss finish? Vinyl wraps offer a quick style update and protect your car’s paint. Just keep in mind they won’t repair existing damage and cheap options or incorrect application can make your car look tacky.

2. Buffing and Polishing

Performed by experts at some of our locations, buffing and polishing are cost-effective ways to bring back your car’s shine and remove light scratches. It’s ideal for minor scuffs but won’t fix deep damage or areas where paint is missing.

3. Quick Repairs with Touch Up Guys

For chips, scratches, or minor dents, Touch Up Guys offers a fast and affordable solution. Our mobile technicians can handle repairs in just a few hours. With precise paint matching, we make sure your car looks like it did before your accident. Whether it’s a scratched bumper or a small dent, we save you time and money compared to a full respray.
