Bodywork repair and painting in Pakistan: prices and what to ask

Updated 4 November 2026

Bodywork repair and painting in Pakistan costs about Rs 5,000 for one panel such as a door, bonnet or bumper, from Rs 7,000 for denting and painting per job, and Rs 30,000 to Rs 100,000 for a full body repaint. To compare current prices in your city, send a request on BlaBlaPrice and get offers in one chat.

What the quote should include

Quotes in Pakistan often separate paint, lacquer and labour. A workshop price list can show lacquer and acrylic paint as separate lines, and good-quality paint is quoted at about Rs 7,000 per litre, while painting labour is around Rs 25,000 in one estimate for a full job. Ask whether the quote covers the paint, the lacquer and the labour, and whether the price is per panel or for the whole car. Getting three quotes from three workshops is normal, because prices vary a lot.

Check the painter's training

Auto body and painting courses in Pakistan are offered by institutes and by NAVTTC, which lists a free auto body repair course with NVQF certification and job placement support. Ask a painter where they trained and whether they hold a certificate. Look at finished panels in daylight, check that the colour matches the rest of the car, and only pay the balance once you are satisfied.

Season and timing

Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Faisalabad have a desert climate, with very hot summers from May to September and mild winters from November to March. Paint work is easier to plan in the mild months, because the heat from May to September makes long jobs in an open workshop harder. Allow extra days for a full repaint, and agree a finish date before the work starts.

What to write in the request

List the parts that are damaged, such as the bumper, door or bonnet, and the type of work: denting, painting or both. Add the car make and model, the extent of the damage, the paint colour or colour code, your city or area in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi or Faisalabad, your deadline and your budget. A photo of the damage helps sellers quote the same job. Say whether you want one panel or the whole car painted, because the price changes a lot between the two.

Describe the damage in your own words in the chat and add photos. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Pakistan, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price, terms and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you decide with whom to share them.
