How Long Does Body & Paint Take?

2-6 days for the work itself. It is a workshop job, so add recovery time in each direction; we collect and return the car rather than asking you to drive it.

The honest answer to how long body and paint work takes has two halves: the work, which is predictable, and everything around it, which is where the day actually goes. Here is both.

The work itself

2-6 days on a car with nothing unusual about it. That figure assumes the diagnosis is already done and the right parts are on the van or the shelf — which is why we confirm the car and the fault on the call rather than discovering both on arrival.

What makes it longer

A seized fastener, a part that has to be ordered, or a second fault found while the first is being fixed. We tell you as soon as we know rather than at the end, and if the extra work changes the price you agree to the new number before we carry on.

Why the blend matters more than the match

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.

Same day, and out of hours

We run 24/7, every day, and there is no night or holiday surcharge. For a workshop job it means recovery can happen out of hours even when the work itself waits for the morning.

What happens in that time

  • Panel straightening, replacement and structural alignment
  • Colour matched from your VIN paint code, then spray-out tested
  • Sealed, temperature-controlled booth with bake cycle
  • Cut, polish and blend into adjacent panels so the repair disappears

Questions we get asked

How long does body and paint work take in Dubai?

2-6 days for the work. Recovery to the workshop and back is included in that arrangement rather than billed separately.

How long does body and paint work take?

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.

Will the new paint match my car exactly?

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.

Do you handle insurance repairs?

Yes, and we will also quote the same job privately so you can compare before deciding whether to claim.
