Custom Paint Job in Pune
A factory colour does not have to be permanent. Whether you want a complete colour change, a matte finish, a two-tone design, or a full respray on a car you have owned for years, we handle it at our Viman Nagar studio. Every custom paint job goes through proper prep, masking, and colour work before a single coat goes on.
About Our Custom Paint Job Service in Pune
People go for a custom paint job for different reasons. Some want their car to stand out completely from the factory look. Some have a car they have owned for years and want to give it a new identity. Some are restoring an older car and the original colour is simply not available anymore. Some just got bored of white or silver.
Whatever the reason, a custom paint job is a bigger commitment than a touch-up or panel repair. The whole car, or large sections of it, gets stripped back, prepped, primed, and painted in multiple coats with proper curing time between stages. Done properly, the new colour looks factory-finish: even coverage, no orange peel texture, no colour variation between panels.
At Carbon and Chrome, custom paint work is planned out before we start. We discuss the colour, the finish, and the scope with you, show you references where useful, and confirm everything before any panel is stripped. The car stays with us for the full duration of the job, and we walk you through the process at each stage if you want updates.
Features of Our Custom Paint Job Service
01
Full Colour Change
Switch your car to any colour available, including colours that were never offered on your specific model. Solid colours, metallics, pearls. We source paint matched to the exact shade you want and apply it across the full body for an even, factory-quality finish.
02
Matte and Specialty Finishes
Matte, satin, and other specialty finishes require different paint products and application techniques than standard gloss paint. Matte finishes in particular show every imperfection in the prep work, so the surface preparation stage matters even more than usual. We have the experience to get these finishes right.
03
Two-Tone and Custom Designs
Two-tone paint jobs, contrasting roofs, custom stripes, and other design elements. These require careful masking and precise line work where colours meet. We plan the design with you before starting, including exactly where colour transitions happen on the car's body lines.
04
Full Body Respray
When a car needs a complete repaint, either due to extensive fading, accumulated damage, or simply wanting a fresh start, the entire car is stripped of existing paint, prepared, primed, and resprayed. This is a multi-day job done in stages with proper curing time between each coat.
05
Precision Colour Matching
Even for a colour change, matching matters. If you are doing a partial custom job, like a custom bonnet or roof in a different colour to the rest of the car, the colours need to be confirmed and tested before full application. We use colour measurement tools and test panels to confirm the final result before committing to the full job.
06
Proper Masking and Prep
The quality of a custom paint job is determined before any paint is sprayed. Every panel that is not being painted gets masked properly. Trim, badges, windows, and rubber seals are protected. Surfaces being painted are sanded, primed, and prepped in stages. Skipping prep work is the most common reason custom paint jobs look bad after a few months.

What Is a Custom Paint Job?
A custom paint job is any paint work that goes beyond restoring a car to its original factory colour and finish. This includes full colour changes, matte or satin conversions, two-tone designs, custom graphics, and full body resprays on cars where the goal is a fresh, different look rather than an exact factory match.
The process generally involves stripping the existing paint or preparing the surface for new paint, masking off areas that are not being painted, applying primer, then multiple coats of the chosen colour, followed by a clear coat for gloss finishes. Each stage needs proper curing time before the next stage begins. Rushing this process is what causes paint defects like cracking, peeling, and poor adhesion later on.
Custom paint work differs from a standard repaint after accident damage in that the goal is a deliberate aesthetic change rather than matching the existing colour. This means more planning upfront: confirming the exact colour and finish, deciding on any design elements like two-tone splits or graphics, and agreeing on scope, which parts of the car get painted and which do not.
Turnaround time for custom paint work depends heavily on scope. A single panel in a new colour might take a couple of days. A full body respray with a specialty finish like matte or pearl can take a week or more once you account for prep, multiple coat applications, and curing time between stages.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cost of a custom paint job in Pune?
Cost depends on the scope of the job, the colour and finish chosen, and the size of the car. A custom paint job starts from around ₹35,000 for limited scope work and goes up significantly for full body respray with specialty finishes like matte or pearl. We give a specific quote after understanding what you want and assessing the car. WhatsApp us your car model and what you have in mind for a starting estimate.
Can I get any colour I want for my car?
Yes, in most cases. Custom paint jobs are not limited to colours your car's model originally came in. We can source and match paint to almost any colour, including non-factory colours, custom mixes, and specialty finishes like matte, satin, and pearl. If you have a specific colour reference, share it and we will confirm if it is achievable.
How long does a custom paint job take?
Depends entirely on scope. A single panel or limited area in a new colour can take 2 to 3 days. A full body respray, especially with specialty finishes that require more careful application and curing, can take a week or longer. We give you a specific timeline once we know the full scope of what you want done.
Will a matte finish be harder to maintain than gloss?
Yes, somewhat. Matte and satin finishes cannot be polished or waxed using standard products without affecting the finish. They require specific matte-safe care products and are generally hand washed rather than machine washed. We go through maintenance specifics for whatever finish you choose before you collect the car.
Can I do a two-tone or custom design paint job?
Yes. Two-tone designs, contrasting roofs, custom stripes, and other design elements are all possible. These require careful planning around where colour transitions happen on the car's body lines, and precise masking during application. We discuss and confirm the design with you before any painting starts.
Will a custom paint job affect my car's resale value?
It depends on the colour and finish chosen and the buyer's preference. Common colours in factory finishes generally hold resale value better than highly custom colours or finishes, which appeal to a smaller pool of buyers. If resale value is a priority, this is worth discussing before committing to a very specific custom look. If you plan to keep the car long-term, this matters less.
Do you handle full body resprays on older cars?
Yes. Full body resprays on older cars are common, either as part of a restoration project or simply because the owner wants to refresh a car they are keeping for the long term. Older cars sometimes need additional rust treatment or panel repair before painting, which we assess and discuss as part of the process.
How do you ensure the paint colour is accurate?
For colour changes, we confirm the exact shade with you before starting, often using test panels to show how the colour looks once applied and cured, since colour can look different on a small sample versus a full panel. For jobs involving partial custom work alongside existing paint, we use colour measurement tools to ensure consistency between old and new sections.
Is custom paint work covered by any warranty?
Yes. We stand behind our paint work. If there are defects like peeling, cracking, or adhesion issues within a reasonable period after the job that are due to application rather than external damage, we address it. Specific warranty terms depend on the scope of the job and are discussed with you before work begins.
Do you do custom paint jobs on luxury cars?
Yes. BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, and other luxury vehicles. These cars often have multi-stage factory finishes like pearl or metallic that need to be replicated carefully if matching is involved, or fully considered if doing a complete colour change. We have the experience to work with these finishes.
