Auto Painting in Craiova

About this service

Auto painting restores a car's original look or gives it a new appearance after scratches, dents, rust, or paint wear. Services include preparing and sanding the surface, filling and priming, partial or full respraying, lacquering and final polishing, as well as repairing small defects and matching the colour exactly. Quality painting is done in a booth, dust-free, with controlled drying, for a uniform, durable finish. A specialist matches the shade perfectly and ensures an invisible transition to the existing paint. Whether you have a scratch, a dented wing, or want to change the colour completely, on SmallJobs you'll find auto painters with real reviews.

What to check before hiring a auto painting

Ask for a detailed quote specifying what's included: surface preparation, priming, painting, polishing.
Check if the painter has drying equipment (drying booth or UV drying) for a better result.
Don't let rust spread — the earlier you intervene, the smaller the repair area and the lower the cost.
Photograph the damage before leaving the car at the workshop, for reference.
Ask to see previous work by the painter or read reviews from other customers.
Polishing and waxing the car after painting extends the paint's lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the paint color matched to the original?

Painters use the car's color code (found on the VIN plate or in the car documents) and computer-mixed formulations to achieve a precise match.

Do I need to remove the panel before taking it to the paint shop?

No, the painter handles removal and reinstallation. Some elements, such as wings or doors, can also be painted without complete removal.

Does auto painting include filler/body work?

Yes, surface preparation (filling, sanding, priming) is part of a quality painting process. Check what is included in the quoted price.

How do I recognize a quality paint job?

A good job has uniform color, no drips or irregularities, the gloss matches the rest of the body, edges are clean, and there are no masking tape marks.

Can I have the car painted a different color than the original?

Yes, but it requires updating the registration documents (RAR procedure). The cost includes both the painting and the legal documentation.

Are eco-friendly paints available?

Yes, water-based paints are increasingly used and are less harmful to the environment. Ask the painter about available options.
