Workshop licences to check

Vehicle repair workshops in Hong Kong need a licence from the Environmental Protection Department. Spray painting has its own category, a paint spraying green vehicle repair workshop, and siting rules apply to where a workshop may operate. Ask which licence covers the paint work, and keep the paperwork. The maximum fine for running an unlicensed workshop is HK$400,000.

Dents, scratches and resprays

A minor dent is often repaired without a full respray, which usually costs less. Dent repair has a minimum charge of HK$600, and each dent is priced separately, up to HK$3,000 for larger damage. Ask whether the job needs a full respray or only one panel, and whether a colour change is included. Dent repair is an environmentally friendly technique, and it avoids a full repaint.

Season and drying conditions

Summer runs from June to August and is hot and humid, while winter from December to February is cooler and drier. Ask the workshop what conditions it paints in and how long the paint needs before the car is returned. Booking outside the peak of summer gives the workshop more room to schedule the work.

What to write in your request

Give the car make and model, the type of work (dent, scratch, single panel or full respray), and the extent of the damage with a photo. Add the paint colour or code, whether you want new or used parts, your city or area, your deadline and your budget. Sellers can quote a price per job more reliably when they can see the damage.
