Auto Painting, Cosmetic Refinishing,
and Sun Damage
Repair in Nashville
A quality paint job does more than restore a vehicle’s curb appeal — it protects panels from corrosion, seals seams and joints, and contributes to long-term vehicle value. Auto Body Shop Roy provides professional auto painting, color matching, sun damage paint repair, and full cosmetic refinishing to drivers throughout Nashville. Since 2007, our paint technicians have used modern paint systems and meticulous preparation methods to deliver durable, factory-quality finishes.
Auto Painting and Cosmetic Refinishing
Automotive paint is a multi-layer system designed to protect and beautify your vehicle. Proper painting requires surface preparation, corrosion protection, quality primers, accurate color matching, multi-stage base coat application, and durable clear coats. Skipping steps or using inferior materials can result in flaking, fading, or visible mismatches over time.
Why Professional Painting Matters
Durability
Premium paints and correct bake/cure cycles ensure chips and UV damage are minimized.
Corrosion Protection
Proper priming and seam sealing prevent rust formation beneath the paint surface.
Color Match
Computerized color-matching systems and skilled application deliver seamless blends across panels.
Finish Quality
Smooth, gloss uniformity and proper clear coat thickness provide a long-lasting, factory-like appearance.

Our Painting Process — Step-by-Step
Initial Inspection
Determine extent of paint damage or cosmetic needs, and identify necessary corrosion or structural repairs.
Surface Preparation
Wash, sand, and strip to bare metal where required, including rust treatment and primer application.
Primer & Filler
Apply corrosion-inhibiting primers and high-quality fillers to smooth surfaces and restore panel geometry.
Color Matching
Using paint codes and computerized mixing, we prepare a precise match for your vehicle’s original color.
Clear Coat & Curing
Apply a protective clear coat and allow proper curing time for hardness and gloss retention.
Buffing & Finishing
Wet sanding and polishing to eliminate minor imperfections and achieve a factory-smooth finish.
Final Inspection
Inspect in controlled lighting for color consistency, gloss, and paint integrity.
Sun Damage & Oxidation
Sun damage commonly causes clear coat dulling and color fading. Our sun damage repair process includes:
- Stripping degraded clear coat where necessary
- Treating the base layers and repairing oxidation
- Applying fresh base coat and UV-resistant clear coat
- Polishing and sealing to restore luster
Scratch & Chip Repair
We handle small-scale cosmetic tasks with care:
- Touch-up paint for small chips with factory-matched color
- Spot repairs and blending for minor scratches
- Clear coat touch-ups for gloss restoration
Welding & Fabrication
After refinishing, we can apply protective clearcoat or recommend ceramic-coating services to increase durability, enhance gloss, and reduce UV impact. These coatings add an extra layer of protection against environmental damage.
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)
For dents where the paint remains intact, PDR is a cost-effective, fast, and high-quality method. PDR involves carefully massaging the metal back to shape from behind the panel — preserving original paint and finish.
