Hyundai i20 Red to Silver Colour Change in Chennai | Clean Cars

Published by Clean Cars Chennai | Car Painting & Restoration Experts

A complete colour change can give an ageing car an entirely new road presence. At Clean Cars in Kolathur, Chennai, we specialise in professional full-body painting, dent correction and custom colour transformations carried out with careful preparation and controlled paint-booth application.

This recent Hyundai i20 project involved changing the original red finish to a sleek metallic silver. The photographs below show the preparation, masking and paint application stages inside our workshop.

The Challenge: Changing a Hyundai i20 from Red to Silver

Changing a vehicle’s colour is more involved than a touch-up or single-panel repaint. The existing surface must be inspected and prepared, imperfections must be corrected, and areas that should not receive paint must be dismantled or carefully masked. Door openings, edges and other visible sections also require attention so the new shade looks consistent rather than appearing like a simple exterior respray.

For this Hyundai i20, the objective was a complete visual transformation from red to a clean, modern silver finish.

Our Professional Colour-Change Process

1. Detailed inspection and dent correction

Before painting, our technicians inspect the panels for dents, scratches, previous repairs and uneven areas. Necessary corrections are completed to create a smooth foundation for the new finish.

2. Surface preparation and careful masking

Windows, wheels and protected components are carefully covered. Selected trims, lamps and exterior parts are removed where required so paint can reach panel edges cleanly and unnecessary masking lines are avoided.

3. Controlled spray-booth application

The prepared Hyundai i20 is painted inside our dedicated spray booth. The enclosed working area and bright lighting help our painter monitor coverage, metallic orientation and consistency across the body.

4. Metallic silver basecoat and protective clear coat

Premium automotive refinishing materials are applied in controlled layers to develop the selected silver shade. A durable clear coat is then applied to provide gloss, depth and protection against regular weather exposure.

Coverage Beyond the Outer Panels

A convincing colour change requires attention to the areas revealed when lamps, trims and exterior components are removed. These project photographs show the rear openings, panel edges and surrounding sections being refinished so the transformation appears consistent after reassembly.
