Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio Vehicle respray

What's involved in Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio paint resprays?

If your Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio has a peeling clear coat, faded paintwork or you are looking to change the colour of your Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio, a partial or full respray will be the best option to bring your Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio 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 Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio 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 Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio is being resprayed completely. If only certain panels are being resprayed, these will either be removed from your Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio 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 Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio just like new.

If your Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio 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 Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio 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 Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio.

Depending on if you are keeping your Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio’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 Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio'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 Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio. If you have an older Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio 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 Citroen DS3/DS3 Cabrio comes out looking better than new!
