Auto Body Paint & Refinishing
Computerized color matching, a factory-quality base-and-clear finish, and a result we put in writing — for every make, at both our Austin and Round Rock shops.
Paint is the part of a repair everyone sees. The frame measurements and panel work underneath matter enormously, but the finish is how you — and everyone who looks at your car — will judge whether the repair was done right. Our standard at Luxury Auto Body is plain: when you pick up the car, you shouldn't be able to find where the new paint starts. Not in direct sunlight, not at an angle, not a year from now.
We refinish every make. Luxury Auto Body is a GM Certified collision center — covering Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, Buick, and Corvette — and we hold separate written certifications for Genesis, Kia, Dodge, Jeep, Fiat, Nissan, and Infiniti. The finish standard is the same whether we're refinishing a single bumper after a parking-lot scrape or repainting panels as part of a larger collision repair.
If your paint work is part of an insurance claim, we keep that side simple: we work with all major insurance carriers, we're a State Farm Select Service shop, and we bill your insurer directly. Estimates are free. Call (512) 986-7327 for Austin or (512) 572-5245 for Round Rock, or request a time online and our front desk will confirm your appointment.
An Exact Paint Match Starts With a Computer, Not a Guess
Every vehicle leaves the factory with a paint code, and matching it sounds simple — until you remember your car has been living under the Texas sun. The color on your fender today isn't exactly the color on the build sheet anymore, and a shop that just mixes the factory formula and sprays it will hand you back a car with a panel that reads slightly wrong.
We use computerized color matching to read your vehicle's exact paint code and get the formula right at the source. Then, because a formula alone can't account for how your particular car has aged, we handle real-world factors like sun fading during the blending stage — which is the second half of an invisible paint match, and worth understanding before you choose a paint shop in Austin.
Why We Blend Into the Panels Next to the Damage
When you see a repaired car with a door that almost matches, it's usually because someone painted only the damaged panel and stopped at the panel edge. Even a technically perfect paint-code match can show a subtle difference against panels that have faded over years of sun and weather. The eye catches it at the seam.
So we don't stop at the seam. We feather the new color into the neighboring panels, transitioning gradually so there is no hard line where new paint meets old. This is standard professional practice — not an upsell — and it's the difference between a seamless, factory-quality finish and a repair you notice every time you walk up to the car. When an estimate from us includes blending adjacent panels, that's why.
Base Coat, Clear Coat — and Why We Won't Rush the Cure
A modern automotive finish is built in layers, and each one has a job:
Each layer needs proper drying and curing time, and the clear coat in particular cannot be rushed without hurting the durability of the finish. So we don't rush it. A single-panel refinish typically takes 2–4 business days including prep, paint, and curing; a full repaint runs 1–2 weeks. A shop that promises your paint work dramatically faster is taking that time out of the cure — and you'll pay for it later in the finish. We use professional-grade automotive coatings, give them the time they need, and give you an exact timeline with your estimate so you can plan around it.
- Preparation and primer — the surface is corrected and primed so the finish bonds properly
- Base coat — the color itself, mixed via computerized matching to your vehicle's paint code
- Clear coat — the transparent top layer that gives the finish its depth, gloss, and protection
Faded or Peeling Clear Coat Is Repairable
You don't need a collision to need paint work. Austin sun is hard on clear coat, and over time it can oxidize, turn cloudy, or start peeling — leaving the color underneath exposed and the panel looking far older than the car. This is repairable, and the fix is a proper refinish, not a cosmetic patch: we sand the affected panel back, then rebuild the finish with fresh base and clear coat, matched and blended so the panel agrees with the rest of the vehicle.
One honest note: if what's bothering you is a dent where the paint is still intact, repainting may not be necessary at all. Paintless Dent Repair can often remove the dent while preserving your original factory finish — and the factory finish, where it can be saved, is worth saving. We'll inspect the damage and tell you straight which method your car actually needs.
Guaranteed in Writing, for as Long as You Own the Car
Every paint and refinishing job we do is backed by our Lifetime Written Warranty against defects in workmanship — peeling, cracking, or fading caused by the work itself — for as long as you own the vehicle. It's a comprehensive written lifetime guarantee, handed to you with the completed repair, so the coverage is documented rather than a verbal promise. We can stand behind the finish for that long because of everything above: the computerized match, the blending, and the curing time we refuse to shortcut.
Getting started is simple. Estimates are free, and if the paint work is part of an insurance claim, we work directly with your insurer and bill them directly — you typically handle only your deductible. Call (512) 986-7327 for Austin or (512) 572-5245 for Round Rock, or request a time online and our front desk will confirm it. Bring the car to 8300 N Lamar Blvd, Suite B102, Austin, TX 78753 (Mon–Fri, 8:00 AM–5:30 PM) or 1001 Louis Henna Blvd, Round Rock, TX 78664 (Mon–Fri, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM).
Computerized Color Matching
We start from your vehicle's exact factory paint code and account for real-world sun fading during blending — so the repaired area matches the rest of the car seamlessly, not approximately.
Lifetime Written Warranty
Paint workmanship is guaranteed in writing against peeling, cracking, and fading for as long as you own the vehicle. You receive the written guarantee with your completed repair.
Curing Time, Told Straight
A single-panel refinish takes 2–4 business days including prep, paint, and curing — and we won't compress that, because rushed clear coat fails early. You get an exact timeline with your estimate.
