How much does a painted car colour change cost?
Our planning range for a full painted colour change is AED 7,350–26,250 including 5% VAT. Vehicle size, preparation, body repairs, finish, dismantling and painted openings affect the final quote. Partial changes and removable-finish options are quoted separately. Government charges are not included.
Is a colour change the same as a full repaint?
Not necessarily. A same-colour exterior repaint refreshes the original appearance. A colour change introduces a different colour, so door shuts, returns and other exposed openings need an explicit coverage decision. A full exterior price does not automatically include every hidden surface.
Can I change only the roof or mirrors?
Yes, a partial painted change can be assessed and quoted for the selected parts. Confirm the parts, finish and removal work with us. Check any permission and vehicle-record requirements for the proposed partial or two-tone appearance before starting.
Do I need approval for a colour wrap as well?
Do not assume a removable material makes a colour change exempt. Confirm the proposed appearance with Dubai Police and the licensing authority before work, then follow the required inspection and vehicle-record update. The workshop’s quotation is not a substitute for official approval.
Can every colour or effect be used?
Bring your reference and we will discuss available materials and a physical sample. Specialist effects, unusual colours and graphics need their own availability and approval checks. We do not promise that every online colour or design is available or acceptable for road use.
Should I paint or wrap a car with peeling paint?
Peeling coatings, corrosion and damaged panels need assessment before either method. Film does not repair a failing surface underneath it. Agree the preparation first, then compare permanent paint with a suitable removable finish.
Can I return to the original colour later?
A painted change is permanent and returning to the original colour requires repainting. A suitable removable film or coating may be removable, but the outcome depends on the underlying finish, product, condition and removal method. Previously repaired or poorly bonded paint can be vulnerable.
How long should I allow?
Allow around 5–10 days as a planning guide for a full painted change and around 3–5 days for a smaller or partial painted change. Extensive preparation, extra coverage and materials can extend that. Confirm a collection estimate after inspection, with approval and registration timing considered separately.
What does the two-year warranty cover?
The two-year warranty is for paintwork only, under the written terms and for the agreed painted areas. Other repairs, parts, films and removable coatings have separate terms. New impact damage or stone chips are not automatically paintwork warranty concerns.
Can I change a financed or leased car?
Confirm the owner’s or lender’s conditions before booking and discuss the change with your insurer. Permission to use the vehicle does not automatically mean permission to repaint or wrap it. Keep the approvals and updated vehicle records together with the workshop paperwork.
