Paint & Refinishing
Color is where most shops give themselves away. Ghost matches yours by instrument, proves it on a sprayed panel, then blends the transition until it disappears under any light.
A blend the eye cannot find.
From a single-panel respray to a full repaint, every refinish runs through our color lab and downdraft booths, a few steps from the technicians doing the bodywork.
- Spectrophotometer matching.Instrument-read formulas, not guesswork, for an exact match across metallics and pearls.
- Sprayed test panels.Every color confirmed on a panel and signed off before it reaches your vehicle.
- Multi-stage clear coat.Layered clear, cut and polished for depth, gloss, and lasting durability.
- Blended adjacent panels.Color feathered into neighboring panels so there is no visible edge.
- Booth-controlled cure.Enclosed downdraft booths with regulated temperature and airflow, free of contamination.
- Final correction polish.The finished surface is cut and polished until it carries factory depth.
Five stages between damage and depth.
Paint fails in preparation long before it fails in the booth, so most of our process happens before color is ever sprayed.
- 01
Color profile
Specialists read your existing finish with a spectrophotometer and build the formula that will blend it, accounting for age, fade, and factory variance.
- 02
Test panel and sign-off
The formula is sprayed on a test panel, cured, and compared under multiple light sources. Nothing proceeds until the match is approved.
- 03
Surface preparation
Panels are stripped as needed, corrected, primed, and block-sanded until the substrate is flawless. Preparation is where the finish is actually made.
- 04
Paint and clear
Base color is applied and feathered into adjacent panels, then sealed under multiple coats of clear in a regulated downdraft booth.
- 05
Cut, polish, and inspection
The cured clear is wet-sanded and machine-polished to full depth, then inspected panel by panel under the lights before delivery.
Answered before you ask.
Can you match metallic, pearl, and tri-coat colors?
Yes. These are exactly the finishes the spectrophotometer and test-panel process exists for. The match is confirmed on a sprayed panel under multiple light sources before your vehicle sees color.
Do you repaint the whole panel or blend?
Whichever produces the invisible result. Most repairs are blended into adjacent panels so there is no hard edge; full panels and full repaints are quoted when the damage or the goal calls for it.
How long does a respray take?
A typical single-panel refinish runs five to nine days including cure and polish. Your written estimate includes a firm timeline before any work begins.
Will refinishing affect my factory warranty or value?
Done to OEM procedure, with documented color match and materials, a quality refinish protects value rather than harming it. You receive documentation of the work and a lifetime workmanship warranty.
How should I care for fresh paint?
We deliver the vehicle with written care guidance: roughly thirty days of gentle washing while the finish fully cures, no waxes or sealants until we clear it, and we offer ceramic protection once cured.
