Good paintwork is invisible — you shouldn't be able to find the panel that was hit. That's the standard our painting side works to: factory colour matched on your actual car (sun-faded paint included), blends into neighbouring panels where honesty demands it, and a queue we tell you about upfront instead of promising miracles. Drop-off and handover happen in Almancil; the paint work itself runs at our Loulé workshop, under the same JustCars responsibility.
Painting carries the longest waiting list in the house: a full exterior respray usually means two to three weeks of queue before the work starts. Smaller jobs move much faster — two or three panels typically run four to five days. And many 'paint jobs' shouldn't be painted at all: a paintless dent repair takes dents out at €80–100 per panel with the factory paint untouched, kerbed wheels refinish at €125, scuffed bumpers repair from €350, and tired headlights restore from €125 — often same-week.
“Half of what walks in labelled a 'paint job' never needs a spray gun — a dent with unbroken paint, a kerbed wheel, a hazed headlight all have cheaper, honester fixes, and I'd rather send a car home with those than sell a respray it doesn't need.”
Final scope and price are confirmed at inspection — these are honest public anchors, not teaser rates.
Modern paint codes are a starting point, not an answer — ten years of Algarve sun shifts every colour. We match on the car itself, blend into adjacent panels where the eye would otherwise catch the transition, and check the result in daylight, not just booth light. Metallic, pearl and tri-coat finishes get the extra stages they actually need.
Oxidised, dull, sun-tired lacquer doesn't always need paint: RestorFX at our Loulé centre chemically rebuilds tired clear coat at a fraction of respray cost, and a deep machine polish resurrects more finishes than most owners expect. We measure the paint first and tell you which route your car deserves — repaint is the answer only when it's the honest one.
Two or three panels: typically four to five days of work. A full exterior respray is the longest queue we run — usually two to three weeks of waiting before it starts, and we say so upfront.
Yes — matched on your actual car, not just the paint code, because Algarve sun shifts every colour over the years. Where the transition would catch the eye we blend into the neighbouring panel.
Often — paintless dent repair removes dents at €80–100 per panel with the factory paint intact. Sharp creases, cracked paint or dents on panel edges are the exceptions, and we'll tell you honestly which yours is.
No. Oxidised lacquer often responds to machine polishing or RestorFX restoration at our Loulé centre for a fraction of respray money. We measure the paint first, then recommend.
Oleg & the team did a fantastic job restoring my 1995 Jeep Wrangler — on budget, on time and exactly as promised, with regular photos and updates throughout. Excellent job. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use again. 5*
A huge thank you to you and your team! My car has never looked so clean! Just Cars did an amazing job making my car look brand new. It was full of sand, dirt, food — everything the kids could possibly put in it, and years since its last proper detail. Just Cars was amazing. A huge thank you!!
My wife and I have been using Just Cars for a while now and always find the service fantastic — very professional and helpful. They've done numerous things for us, from valet to fitting stereos and mechanical work. Would highly recommend them.
I've had a great experience with JustCars — definitely a place I'll be coming back to! A professional team with friendly, down-to-earth people who clearly care about the quality of their work. Keep it up, guys — wishing you all the success!
The guys did work on the Ferrari and they did a great job — thank you!
Oleg is great. I bought a used BMW X5 from a private seller and the aluminium centre console had a few scratches. Oleg made it look brand new with a flawless wrap. Highly recommended.
So glad I found Just Cars. Oleg and his team sorted a small issue with my car's finish within 24 hours — and they're specialists in every kind of car maintenance. Highly recommended.
We had a tricky problem — removing dried-out vinyl lettering from our van that even the signage company couldn't manage. Alek quickly came up with a solution and the work was high-quality and super fast. Recommended for excellent professionalism.
When you love your car, go to Just Cars!!! What they do is truly amazing. When you collect your car it's better than picking it up from the Porsche dealership — and far better protected. Steven
