When it comes to body repair, our technicians take an individual approach, considering the specifics of each car and the nature of the damage. The body repair process in Almaty includes the following stages:
A preliminary stage that includes a thorough diagnosis of the damaged body elements, drawing up a work plan, compiling a list of required spare parts and calculating the total cost.
Priming and washing the exterior with high-quality cleaning agents.
Disassembly of the body, which may be full or partial depending on the nature of the damage.
Removing corrosion with modern welding equipment where there are small spots of rust on the metal.
Repairing plastic parts, including the use of fibreglass and epoxy resins.

Removing chips and scratches from the body, using Paintless Dent Repair technology for minor damage, or panel beating, priming, filling and painting for deep damage.
Body painting, or car painting, in Almaty is a set of procedures designed to restore the appearance of the car’s paintwork. In our shop we carry out both spot and full body painting, and we also offer liquid rubber coating, choosing the method depending on the extent of the damage.
When painting a car, we use only high-quality paint materials, which ensures an outstanding result.
The painting process begins with preliminary preparation, which includes removing cracks, dents and deep corrosion, as well as checking that the primed and filled areas meet the requirements of the painting technology.
To achieve a matte effect, our technicians use single-stage paints, while two-stage systems are used for metallic colours.
Acrylic or metallic paint is usually used. For the highest quality, the paint is applied in three coats: the first is the thinnest, the second is of normal thickness, and the third is a wet coat.
After painting is complete, 2-3 coats of clear coat are applied to the car’s surface, which need time to dry.
At our body repair centre «Pokraska Avto v Almaty», our technicians can fix minor body defects such as scratches, dents and chips. The repair method depends on the condition of the body.
If there are only a few scratches, we offer spot repair, most often including polishing to remove minor defects — provided that the process is carried out by highly skilled technicians.
Special kits such as Chipkit and Chipstik are often used to correct scratches effectively; they contain tinting agents and corrosion inhibitors that blend with the colour of the car’s finish and remove the scratches.
We also provide a professional colour-matching service for car bodies, taking into account various aspects such as the quality of the paintwork, the gloss of the paint, its durability and other parameters.
For precise colour matching we use a computerised method, which begins with identifying the car’s original colour by its VIN code. The computer mixes different colours in optimal proportions, creating a final enamel shade that matches the original as closely as possible in brightness, hue and saturation.
To reduce colour differences between the painted part and the rest of the body, we use the blending method, which involves partially painting the adjacent parts in the chosen colour.
Remember that choosing the right paint is a serious matter, so it is best to entrust it to professionals and avoid guesswork. This guarantees the quality and durability of your car’s paintwork.
Airbrushing a car is a process in which paint is sprayed onto the body using pressurised air sprayers. This method ensures the coating lasts for 7-10 years. The cost of airbrushing a car can be quite high, but it not only gives your car a unique look, it also provides protection against theft.
Airbrushing is done on the basis of a pre-designed sketch, and the following factors are taken into account when creating it:
The images in the sketch should not be too small.
The images should be clear and easy to understand.
The style and images of the airbrush art should not copy the livery of special vehicles such as police cars or ambulances.
Before starting work, the technicians at the «Pokraska Avto v Almaty» auto centre carry out thorough preparation, including removing small parts, masking the windows and removing the protective layer and trim.
After the airbrush art is applied, the car goes through drying and clear coating. The whole process is carried out in a clean, controlled environment, which guarantees high-quality images.
In conclusion, if you need high-quality body repair in the shortest possible time at a reasonable price, our body repair centre «Pokraska Avto v Almaty» is the place to come.
