Subaru Forester Vehicle respray

What's involved in Subaru Forester paint resprays?

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

If your Subaru Forester 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 Subaru Forester 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 Subaru Forester.

Depending on if you are keeping your Subaru Forester’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 Subaru Forester'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 Subaru Forester. If you have an older Subaru Forester 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 Subaru Forester comes out looking better than new!
