That’s why drivers across Melbourne choose South City Motor Body Works for premium car resprays that strive to exceed factory standards. From the first consultation to the final inspection, our process is designed for exceptional service and an obsession for detail.
1 Get In Touch
Call, message, or visit our South Melbourne workshop. We’ll take a look at your vehicle’s paintwork, discuss what’s needed, and gather the details to get started.
2 In Person Assessment
We clearly walk you through the best spray painting or respray approach – whether it’s a spot repair, full respray, or precise partial colour match. You’ll receive honest recommendations, a clear quote, and a tailored repaint plan.
3 Paint Preparation & Application
Each panel is carefully disassembled, sanded, cleaned, and precision-masked. We apply Glasurit base coat in a temperature-controlled booth, followed by multiple layers of high-gloss clear. Every stage is timed and inspected to ensure deep colour, perfect coverage, and lasting durability.
4 Final Detailing & Quality Check
We correct any imperfections in the paint and polish the panels to match the original factory finish. Each painted surface is then inspected under a high-intensity LED “Sun Gun” to ensure consistency, clarity, and quality before delivery.

Spray Painting FAQs
Do you use high-quality automotive paint systems?
Yes. At South City Motor Body Works, we use Glasurit waterborne paint systems – an OEM-approved refinishing solution trusted by leading car manufacturers worldwide. This ensures your respray delivers flawless colour accuracy, long-term durability, and a finish that often exceeds factory standards.
Do you assist with insurance claims for car spray painting?
Absolutely. If your paintwork damage is part of an accident or insurance claim, we’ll help with quoting, documentation, and liaising with your insurer. We work with all major providers. If your policy includes choice of repairer, you can nominate us for expert resprays and car spray painting in South Melbourne. For more, visit our Insurance Repairs and Not-At-Fault Accidents pages.
Who handles the spray painting work?
All spray painting is carried out by experienced, specialist technicians using advanced spray systems in our temperature-controlled booth. Every layer is applied with precision, and every job is overseen to ensure consistency, clarity, and a flawless finish.
Do you offer a warranty on your spray painting and resprays?
Yes. All spray painting and car resprays completed at South City Motor Body Works are backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee for as long as you own the vehicle. We stand by the quality of our finish.
Can you match my car’s exact colour?
We use Glasurit’s global colour database and spectrometer-based analysis to achieve the closest possible colour match. While we match most factory finishes with high accuracy, some older or heavily faded colours may be impossible to replicate exactly. In those cases, we’ll advise you upfront – and if the result doesn’t meet our standards, we won’t proceed with the repair.
How long does a car respray take?
Every respray we do is designed to meet factory-level standards. A complete respray is a detailed, multi-stage process that typically takes several weeks – depending on the vehicle, colour, and condition. Once we assess your car in person, we’ll provide a tailored timeline based on the scope of work and your expectations.
