It’s hard to beat a respray – when your car’s paint job is looking faded, scuffed, or outdated, there’s nothing that’ll update and invigorate it more effectively than a new coat of paint. Whether it’s to cover a small scratch from the car park, a faded roof from the scorch of the Christchurch su or restore a classic, spray painting is the way to go. Plus, if your pride and joy just needs some panel beating, spray painting is the ideal solution to restoring your ride’s former glory – and value.
We’ve been reviving Christchurch vehicles right here in our shops since 2007. With three locations in Sydenham, Sockburn, and Rolleston, we are pleased to be one of Christchurch’s leading panel and paint providers. This blog will tell you everything you need to know about car spray painting, from the job itself through to pricing, and show you why Rosiez is your best choice for car paint repairs near you.
Spray painting is the method in which paint is applied in neat, even layers on a car body to ensure a perfectly smooth coat. It’s an essential part of many panel beating and smash repair services — and when you get it right, your car will look as good as new.
At Rosiez, we apply spray paint in modern, dust-free, temperature-controlled spray booths. With an attention to detail and precision matched only by the manufacturers themselves, our experienced auto painters spend the time and effort necessary to make sure each paint job is seamless, durable, and an exact match to your manufacturer’s colour — or any custom colour you choose.
Spray painting may also be used for cosmetic finishing purposes and is done as part of a paint system in a collision repair or panel beating. There are many factors that may make you think about a car respray:
At Rosiez Collision Repairs, achieving a flawless finish isn’t just about paint—it’s about precision, preparation, and craftsmanship. Whether your vehicle has suffered a minor scrape or needs a complete colour refresh after a major repair, our spray painting process follows a carefully refined system.
Here’s how we manage the entire spray painting journey, from inspection to final polish:
Panel Inspection and Repair
Every great finish starts with a solid foundation. Before any paint is applied, our expert panel beaters thoroughly inspect the affected areas.
Our goal is to restore your vehicle’s structural and aesthetic integrity because painting over damage is never an option at Rosiez.
Surface Preparation
Prep is where the magic starts. We know that a perfect finish relies on a flawless surface, so we take the time to get it right.
This step lays the groundwork for a finish that doesn’t just look great—it lasts.
Colour Matching
Getting the colour right is critical—and we’re specialists at it.
From bright whites to deep metallics, we make sure the finish looks as if it just rolled out of the showroom.
Spray Application
With the prep complete and the colour ready, we move on to the heart of the process: the paint.
Baking and Curing
Once the paint is on, it’s time to set the finish.
The result? A finish that’s not only eye-catching but also built to last.
Polishing and Final Tweaks
To complete the transformation, we add the final shine.
The Rosiez Standard of Finish
Spray painting isn’t just a job—it’s a craft. At Rosiez, we treat every vehicle with care, precision, and pride. Whether you're dealing with a small touch-up or a full respray, our spray painting method guarantees:

A fresh paint job can completely transform your vehicle, but proper aftercare is key to keeping it looking sharp. Here’s how to protect your car:
Let the paint fully cure before washing. Early cleaning can cause:
If needed, gently rinse with water—no soap, sponges, or pressure washers yet.
After the curing period, stick to pH-balanced car soaps. Avoid harsh detergents or household cleaners that strip protective layers and dull your finish.
Brush car washes can scratch fresh paint. Use touchless car washes or hand-wash with a microfibre mitt and two-bucket method.
Protect your paint from UV rays, bird droppings, and sap. Parking in a garage or shaded spot helps maintain gloss and prevent stains.
Apply wax regularly to protect against the elements. It boosts shine and adds a layer of defence against dirt and UV damage. For longer-lasting protection, consider ceramic coatings.
