Body and paint repair is the heart of what Solis does. A door that has been keyed, a bumper that met a bollard, a guard that needs straightening, a bonnet with stone chips and faded clear coat, a whole car in need of a respray: panel and paint work on everything from small hatchbacks to utes and vans, done in our New Lynn workshop.
The difference between a repair you can see and one you cannot is preparation and paint. We strip, repair and prime the panel properly, match the colour to your car's paint code and blend it into the neighbouring panels, then bake it in a spray booth. The result is a finish that matches the rest of the car and keeps matching, and it is backed by a lifetime guarantee on our workmanship.
Colour that matches
We mix to your paint code and check it against the car in daylight, then blend into the next panel so there is no hard edge where the new paint starts.
Prepared properly
Fillers, primers and sealers applied in the right order and cured properly. Most paint repairs that fail early were rushed at this stage; ours are not.
Booth finish
Painting in a heated, filtered booth keeps dust out and cures the paint hard. It is why the finish lasts rather than peeling or fading a year later.

Fast repair, very good quality. 12 out of 10. Extremely big heart in this business and that is why it works so well. Highly recommend.
They provide full assistance with the insurance claim and offer a free courtesy car during the repair period. Awesome work, customer service and friendly staff.
Had my 350Z repaired after substantial rear-end damage. The job was done to such a high standard that you would not think it had been in an accident. The paint was blended in beautifully.

Body and Paint Repair questions
It depends on the panel, how deep the damage is and whether paint on the neighbouring panels needs blending. A scraped bumper corner is a very different job to a dented door. Send a photo and we will give you a free quote, usually the same working day, with no obligation.
Yes. We mix to your car's paint code, check the match against the car and blend into the adjacent panels so the repair is not visible. Metallic and pearl colours are matched the same way.
Yes. For damage under or near your excess a private repair is often the better choice. We quote clearly so you can compare it with your excess and decide, and we never do work before you have agreed the price.
A single panel is usually two to four days once the car is in, allowing for proper curing. Bigger jobs and full resprays take longer and we give you the timeframe with the quote. Courtesy cars are available.
