Body Work & Painting in Lagos
Dent removal, panel repair, scratch blending, and respray work focused on finish quality and corrosion protection.
Good bodywork is prep. Whether it’s a parking scrape or a larger panel repair, the difference between “okay” and “factory‑close” is metalwork, filler discipline, primer system, and spray environment.
We prioritize corrosion protection and colour matching realism—especially important in humid coastal climates where poor prep shows up fast.
What drives your quote
Final costs depend on inspection findings, parts tier, and your approved scope — never a one-size menu price from a web page.
- Final cost depends on damage extent, blend boundaries, paint system, and panel count — confirmed after inspection.
- Pearl, metallic, or multi-stage finishes need more booth time and materials than solid colours.
- Structural or heavy collision work is scoped after measurement; photos help, inspection confirms repair path.
Turnaround times
- Minor repairs may be 2–5 working days depending on cure schedules and booth queue.
- Larger resprays commonly run longer; we provide a written timeline after inspection—not guesses over the phone.
Warranty, parts & quality policy
- Paint workmanship warranties are time/mileage limited and exclude new stone chips, abrasion, or chemical exposure.
- Rust returning due to hidden corrosion pre-existing the repair may not be covered—inspection notes clarify risk.
- Aftercare instructions matter: early washing or waxing can harm fresh clears—follow the handover sheet.

Frequently asked questions
Can you match my existing paint?
We blend into adjacent panels when needed so repairs disappear in normal lighting. Fade and prior repairs affect match realism.
How long does respray work take?
Timelines vary by damage extent, curing, and weather. We quote after inspection because rushing cure cycles hurts finish quality.
Do you handle insurance estimates?
We can support documentation and photos for many insurers—tell us the insurer and claim type when booking.
Will you remove trims and badges properly?
Yes—where needed for quality. “Tape-only” shortcuts are avoided for panels that deserve a proper disassembly route.
Can you deliver a same-colour bumper respray only?
Often yes, but we’ll confirm whether blending into adjacent panels is required for an invisible repair.
