D-segment car, 5 years old.

Reason to paint, massive stone chip at front bumber/bonnet due to no ppf installed since bought the car, here & there slight scratch as daily use.

noted on ur suggestion. just get one shop which had many conti car send for repainting there. quoted about rm4k after best price. Car no accident just want repainting back as new.

then dont find the cheapest, find reputable.

rajin research & read reviews..if no reviews, might be a gamble.

u may try Autonion Paint Masters, or start research from there.

ps: usually factory paint is the best if able to maintain, but i guess yours is beyond saving for some reason

Thanks. Yes the front parts was full with stone chip. As the car spend time majority at highway. Not sure if it true, but many user had complaint the factory Paint for Honda and Mazda are easily scratch for their model recently.

Why not just repaint the front bumper and hood?

My colleague had done this, paint front area, civic turbo. Then there is colour difference between new parts paint vs rest as rest kinda slightly faded in colour for 3 years old car. Not sure due to painter skill etc

I repainted my entire D-segment car with a color change... cost was RM4.3k
Shop is where i regularly sent all my 3 cars if needed paint repairs.... know the guy for 10 yrs already
sure cheap paint job right, never do proper work and low quality paint materials was used.

Repainted 2 cars b4. Full car respray, exterior only, same colour.

Car 1, an old C-segment (now only eq. to B segment in terms of size) was 2.1k in yr2011. Using Nippon primer/base coat and Glasurit 923-255 HS clearcoat. 4 layer clearcoat. Minimal compounding so got moderate orange peel but that's the way I wanted as I prefer thicker clearcoat over thinner but mirror finish look. Whole process took 3wks due to issue at shop side.

Car 2, a 2010 C-segment car, was 3.7k in 2019. Using Cromax primer/base coat and Cromax CC6400 HS clearcoat. Also 4 layer as car 1. Also minimal compounding to keep clear coat as thick as possible. This is a black car and whole process took 9 working days coz include repainting of front grille, wiper arms, all exterior painted plastic parts.

My advise is never go for cheap respray as they will compromise on both raw materials (paint, reducer, clearcoat, putty etc.) and workmanship (no. of coats, thickness, sanding etc.). And if I have a choice again, I will never ever repaint my cars.

Just a few pointers

1.  Always go and observe at the paintshop both the semi-finished and finished product. It can tell you roughly the quality of workmanship you can expect.
2.  Don't ever go to those accident repair workshops especially panel workshops, if possible.
3.  Check with the boss on what brand of base/paint (Nippon, Alesco, PPG, Cromax etc.) and how many layer.
4.  Ask what reducer, clearcoat is he quoting?  High solid or medium solid and what brand is it? (Cromax, Nippon, Glasurit etc.) How many layers and waiting time b4 next  layer.
5.  Check with him if he is gonna use plastic primer for the plastic parts (bumper, garnish etc) and what brand/model.

With these infos collected, you can search online (shopee/lazada etc) roughly what costs are involved. And whether you are ripped off of your money.

Hope this helps.
