Trusted Commercial Vehicle Repairers

Specialist Paint & Refinishing

At The Spectrum VR Group, we paint and refinish commercial vehicles at our workshops for customers across Essex, Kent and London. Our 18m spray booths are large enough for full-length HGVs, trailers, buses and coaches, so even the biggest vehicles can be painted in one go.

Whether you need a single panel painted after an accident repair, a full respray, or vehicles finished in your company colours, we match the paint to the manufacturer’s original colour or your fleet livery. That way, repaired areas blend in and your vehicles keep a consistent look.

Every repair is carried out to exact manufacturer specifications by our BS10125-accredited technicians, giving you the confidence that your vehicle is safe, compliant, and road-ready.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had only experienced negativity and indifference in the motor trade ( other than overly keen sales people!!). BUT....having experienced the theft and ransacking of my beloved campervan it was a revelation to find that these Spectrum people are friendly, kind, efficient and caring!!! Yes! caring!!!!. The service was faultless, straightforward and speedy. Kevin and Michelle need a special mention for their attention to detail and reliability communicating the progress.

Everything you need to know about Paint & Refinishing with The Spectrum VR Group

Do your workshops have the capacity for oversized commercial vehicles?

Absolutely. Our facilities in West Thurrock and Sidcup feature 18m, high-clearance spray booths designed specifically for the largest vehicles on the road. This allows us to provide professional Paint & Refinishing for full-length trailers, double-decker buses, and heavy-duty HGV that standard bodyshops simply cannot accommodate.

How accurate is your colour-matching for branded liveries?

We use digital spectrophotometers to achieve a 100% accurate colour match for every project.

Whether we are touching up a minor scratch or performing a full fleet respray, ur technicians in Sidcup and West Thurrock ensure the finish is indistinguishable from the factory original, protecting your professional brand image on the road.

Do you offer specialist protective or high-durability finishes?

Commercial vehicles face harsh conditions, from road salt to industrial sites.

Beyond aesthetics, our Paint & Refinishing service includes the application of high-solid, durable coatings that provide superior chip resistance and weather protection. This ensures your fleet stays looking professional for longer, even under the most demanding operational schedules.
