What is auto paint in Cyprus?
Auto paint (also called car paint, car painting, or automotive refinishing) is the workshop trade of restoring a vehicle's external paint surface to factory or better-than-factory condition. At Pinelaki we cover the full range:
- Full body respray — every panel stripped, prepped, and refinished
- Colour change — complete transformation including jambs, trims and frame edges
- Single-panel painting — bumper, door, wing, bonnet, blended into the surrounding original paint
- Post-accident refinishing — paint restored after collision repair
- Sun-fade and oxidation correction — Cyprus UV damage matched and refinished
What's the difference between auto painting and auto detailing?
This is the most common mix-up among new customers, so here it is in one line: auto painting changes or restores the paint surface itself; auto detailing only cleans, polishes and protects the paint that's already there.
| Service | What it does | What it can't fix |
|---|---|---|
| Auto painting (Pinelaki) | New paint, primer, basecoat and clearcoat applied in a spray booth | Nothing in the paint domain — repairs scratches, dents, sun-fade, accident damage, full colour changes |
| Auto detailing | Wash, clay-bar, machine polish, wax/ceramic coating, interior cleaning | Cannot fix scratches that have cut through the clearcoat, dents, accident damage, or faded paint |
If your scratch disappears when wet, a detailer can polish it out. If it's still visible when wet, the clearcoat is broken and you need a paint shop. When in doubt, send a photo through our AI estimator and we'll tell you which one you need — even if it's not us.
How does Pinelaki compare to other Cyprus auto paint providers?
Most Cyprus body shops do solid paint work; here is where Pinelaki is concretely different:
- 6-year written paint warranty — the longest paint warranty offered by any car body shop in Cyprus. The market norm is 1-3 years, often verbal only. Our warranty page spells out exactly what's covered.
- 35 years in the same trade — founded 1991 by Garo Kotchounian, family-run from day one. Many Cyprus paint shops are under 10 years old.
- 70+ verified five-star Google reviews — average rating 5.0, sourced from real Cyprus customers across Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos and Famagusta.
- Trilingual operations — full quote, repair and handover in English, Greek and Russian. Most shops handle Greek only.
- Works with every Cyprus insurer — we coordinate the assessor, the paperwork and the direct billing so you don't have to.
- AI Damage Estimator — instant photo-based quote at /estimate, available 24/7 in three languages.
- Computerised spectrophotometer colour matching — even sun-faded paint matched precisely; no guessing from a code book.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a full auto paint job take?
Typically 3-5 working days for a full respray, depending on vehicle size and any bodywork required. Single-panel jobs are usually same-day or next-day. We give you a firm completion date when you drop the car off.
Will the new paint match my existing panels exactly?
Yes. Our spectrophotometer reads the exact paint code on your vehicle and mixes a batch-matched formula. On blended repairs the transition is invisible. We never use generic off-the-shelf tins.
Is the 6-year paint warranty real and transferable?
Yes to both. It's a written warranty, attached to the vehicle (not the owner), so it carries over if you sell the car. Full terms on our warranty page.
Do you handle insurance paint claims?
Yes. We work with every Cyprus insurer, request the assessor, manage the paperwork, and bill the insurance company directly. You bring the registration and sign a release at handover — that's it.
