Paints and Body Repair

If your car is suffering from scratches and dents, or looks a little tired from a life spent on the road, it’s easy to bring back some shine. At Halfords, we’ve got everything you need to undertake simple car body repairs, tackle scratches and touch up any damage. By spending a little time on your car’s finish you can get great results - and increase your car’s resale value too.

We recommend a simple four step process to DIY car bodywork repairs:

1. Prepare for the job - selecting the right fillers, sanding equipment, and adhesives you may need.

2. Prime your car - giving you a surface you can work with.

3. Paint your vehicle - with our range of quality spray paints or more specialist decorative paints.

4. Protect your work with lacquer - encouraging longevity.

The paint used on your car is hardwearing and rugged, built up of many layers of paint. While it may look tired on the outside, underneath there’s often a fresh finish that needs to be brought out. Our scratch repair and paint restorers will gently bring back that showroom shine, getting rid of the light and medium damage. You can do it all at home on the street, driveway or in the garage. Bigger dents and damage might need the application of fillers to bring back the elegant lines. We’ve got individual products from brands like Isopon and T-Cut , alongside our trusted Halfords range. If you want a simple solution, the Isopon P38 kit includes everything you need to get started. Before respraying, you’ll need to add a primer to ensure that the new paint sticks. We’ve got etch primers, anti-rust primers and weld primers in stock, suitable for every job. Learn more about rust removal. What’s more, we have a range of specialist and decorative paints designed for demanding applications, like car engines, brake callipers and bumpers. As well as quirky products like our camouflage paints, we stock standard spray paints that can be used for any general application - including spray painting. But only if you have permission!
