Car painter in Singapore: what a respray costs and what to ask

Updated 4 November 2026

A car respray in Singapore costs about S$1,200 to S$3,000 for a whole car, and a single panel is about S$150 to S$400. For a quote on your model and colour, post a request on BlaBlaPrice.

What the quote depends on

The price depends on whether one panel or the whole car is painted, and on the body type. A hatchback or saloon is usually quoted lower than an SUV or MPV for the same panel. A colour change costs more than a respray in the same colour. Ask whether the price includes premium paint and a dust-free booth finish, because many workshops include both.

Humidity and the wet season

Singapore is hot and humid all year, with a wet season and a dry season rather than winter and summer. Humidity affects how paint dries, so a workshop with a controlled, dust-free booth is worth asking about. November is in the wetter part of the year, so plan drop-off and pick-up around heavy rain.

Booking and pick-up

Painters usually quote per panel or per whole car rather than per hour. Tell the workshop which city you are in, because Singapore, Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands and Ang Mo Kio each mean a different trip for the car. Agree the expected return date in writing, since fresh paint needs time before the car is handed back.

What to write in your request

List the car make, model and year, and whether it is a hatchback, saloon, SUV or MPV. Say which panels need painting or whether you want the whole car, and give the colour or paint code if you have it. Add your budget in S$ and the city where the car is kept.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. You describe the job in your own words in a chat, and the system asks for missing details, looks through local price lists in Singapore and shows what it found. Workshops and painters registered on BlaBlaPrice receive your request and reply in the chat with their price and terms, while your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them.
