Car and Truck Painting Tokoroa Trusts
We paint cars and trucks to a factory standard using Sherwin-Williams products, backed by nearly two decades of workshop experience.
Professional car and truck painting covers full resprays, panel blending after repair work, and colour restoration for faded or oxidised paint. Mark Jones Paint and Panel in Tokoroa carries out car and truck painting for private owners and commercial fleets alike, whatever stage your vehicle's paint is at.
How Car and Truck Painting Is Done at Mark Jones Paint and Panel
1. Assessment and Quote
We inspect the vehicle in person at our Tokoroa workshop and give a written quote at no charge. WINZ-format quotes are available on request.
2. Cleaning and Degreasing
Panels are washed and degreased to remove contamination before any prep work starts, so the new coating has a clean surface to bond to.
3. Surface Prep and Masking
We address dents, scratches, or old coating issues, then mask off glass, trim, and any unaffected panels to keep the work area contained.
4. Priming
A primer coat suited to the substrate goes on next and is left to cure fully before any colour is applied.
5. Colour Application
Sherwin-Williams automotive paint is sprayed in multiple even passes inside a controlled booth to build an even, durable colour coat.
6. Clear Coat, Cure, and Buff
A protective clear coat is applied and left to cure properly, then buffed and polished to the finish standard agreed at quote stage.
Insurance-Approved Painting Backed by Sherwin-Williams
Mark Jones Paint and Panel uses Sherwin-Williams automotive coatings for every car and truck painting job. This gives our technicians access to a wide colour library for accurate matching, whether we're painting a new panel or restoring colour on ageing factory paint that's faded with age. We've operated in Tokoroa since 2005 and are a current MTA Collision Repairer member, which means independent trade accountability rather than a self-issued claim.
Being an approved repairer for IAG, FMG, and AA Insurance means a customer with a claim doesn't have to manage paperwork between insurer and workshop. We deal with the insurer directly on quotes and approvals. In our experience, customers with insurance work want the process handled, not explained twice.

Common Questions About Car and Truck Painting
How much does it cost to get a truck or car repainted in Tokoroa?
Cost depends on how many panels are involved, whether blending is needed to match existing paint, and how much prep the surface requires. We give a written quote free of charge before any work starts, so you know the cost upfront.How long will my vehicle be off the road for a full respray?
Turnaround depends on the number of panels, curing time between coats, and whether other repair work needs doing first. We confirm a realistic timeframe at the quote stage rather than giving a fixed number upfront.Will the new paint match the rest of my car exactly?
We use Sherwin-Williams' colour matching system to match your vehicle's factory code. Where paint has faded unevenly, we sometimes blend adjacent panels so the result reads as one consistent colour rather than a patchwork.Can I get a truck painted the same as a car, or is it a different process?
The process is the same regardless of vehicle type. Larger truck panels may need more spray passes and longer curing time simply because of their size, but the steps we follow don't change.Do you paint fleet or commercial vehicles as well as private cars?
Yes, we take on both private and commercial vehicles. Fleet customers should call ahead to arrange scheduling, given our hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
