MG · Body & Paint
Panel work and colour-matched refinishing in a controlled spray booth. Priced per MG model, not per brand.
Body & Paint on a MG is the same job it is on anything else right up until it is not, and the difference is always in the parts and the tolerances rather than the procedure.
Every visit includes a battery health test — not a voltage reading, a load test — because a MG in Dubai is on a two-to-three year battery cycle and the cheapest time to find a failing one is while somebody is already looking at the car. On the start-stop models in this range that also means checking whether the battery has been registered, because an unregistered replacement is being charged to the wrong profile.
Even a perfect code match sits differently on a fresh panel than on one that has had five years of Dubai sun on it. A repair that stops at the panel edge shows as a slightly different shade in daylight forever. Blending the new colour into the adjacent panels is what makes the repair invisible, and it is the step most commonly skipped on a cheap quote.
Clear coat failure — that milky, peeling patch on a roof or bonnet — is not correctable by polishing. The clear has broken down and the only real fix is to strip and refinish the panel. It is extremely common on dark cars parked outdoors here, and it is worth doing before the base coat starts to go too.
MG is a Chinese make, and warranty servicing schedules are short and worth keeping to, because they are also what keeps the warranty intact. For body and paint work specifically that means we price the parts to the model rather than the badge, and we check the items that go alongside it on this range instead of quoting a flat figure and finding out later.
A single panel respray is typically 2 to 3 days including bake and cure time. Multi-panel or structural work runs longer, and we give you a date rather than a range once the car is stripped.
We mix to your VIN paint code and then test-spray a card against the actual panel before touching the car, because sun-faded paint rarely matches its own code. The colour is adjusted until it does.
Yes, and we will also quote the same job privately so you can compare before deciding whether to claim.
Call, or send your location on WhatsApp. We will tell you the price before we set off.
