Audi A1/A1 Sportback Vehicle respray

What's involved in Audi A1/A1 Sportback paint resprays?

If your Audi A1/A1 Sportback has a peeling clear coat, faded paintwork or you are looking to change the colour of your Audi A1/A1 Sportback, a partial or full respray will be the best option to bring your Audi A1/A1 Sportback back to life, or personalise it to your taste.

A vehicle respray is usually undertaken when certain panels are to be painted the same colour as the rest of the car, or the entire Audi A1/A1 Sportback is changing colour, although changing colour can be a very in-depth process depending on the level of colour change and the style of paint to be used.

The way a vehicle respray is carried out is determined by the panels requiring a respray, or if your Audi A1/A1 Sportback is being resprayed completely. If only certain panels are being resprayed, these will either be removed from your Audi A1/A1 Sportback or masked off to prevent any overspray on non-damaged panels. The panels will then be sanded down before a fresh coat of primer, colour and clear coat are applied, making your Audi A1/A1 Sportback just like new.

If your Audi A1/A1 Sportback requires a full respray, it will need to be disassembled before any work is carried out. This includes removing the engine if you are having the engine bay of your Audi A1/A1 Sportback resprayed in the new colour. Every panel will be sanded down and any dents repaired before a new layer of primer is added to your Audi A1/A1 Sportback.

Depending on if you are keeping your Audi A1/A1 Sportback’s original colour, or changing it for something completely different, the new colour will be applied before being covered in a fresh covering of clear coat to keep your Audi A1/A1 Sportback's new paintwork protected from the elements, as well as looking glossy.

Most specialist body repair shops offer respray services, whether it be for panels or a full vehicle respray on your Audi A1/A1 Sportback. If you have an older Audi A1/A1 Sportback or are looking for a certain finish, a restoration centre will be your best option to have a respray carried out. They will be able to guide you on every step of the process ensuring your Audi A1/A1 Sportback comes out looking better than new!
