Udy Panelbeaters is a panel beating and auto painting business at 4 Udy Street in Petone, Lower Hutt, with a 5.0 Google rating.
Good auto painting is mostly preparation. The work should start with repairing dents and rust, sanding and priming, because paint applied over poor prep will peel or bubble later. A quality shop matches the colour to your car's paint code and blends the new paint into neighbouring panels so there is no obvious patch. When choosing one, ask for a written quote, how long the car will be off the road and whether the work carries a guarantee. If it is an insurance job, check how the shop works with your insurer and whether you can pick your own repairer. Regulars photograph the car before and after, check the finish in daylight at pick-up and avoid washing with harsh chemicals for the first few weeks.
Petone is an industrial and shopping area on the Hutt Valley's southern edge, so this listing suits drivers across Lower Hutt and Wellington needing bodywork.
