Thinking about giving your car a fresh, new look? Whether you’re looking to express your style, cover up wear and tear, or simply refresh your vehicle’s appearance, a car color change in Dubai can make a powerful visual impact. But before you dive into the world of custom paint jobs, there are a few things you need to know.

At Avenue Auto Services, we specialize in professional car color change services backed by RTA-approved processes, premium paints, and unmatched craftsmanship. This guide covers everything you need to make an informed decision—from legal requirements to cost and color trends.

Why Dubai Drivers Choose to Repaint Their Cars

A color change isn’t just cosmetic—it can breathe new life into your vehicle. Here’s why many customers trust Avenue Auto Services to repaint their cars:

  • Personalization: Make your vehicle truly yours with a custom color that reflects your personality.

  • Restoration: Eliminate years of sun-fade, scratches, and dullness with a sleek, factory-finish paint job.

  • Resale Boost: A professionally repainted car is far more attractive to potential buyers.

  • Business Branding: For commercial fleets, color change enhances brand presence and uniformity.

How Much Does a Car Color Change Cost in Dubai?

The cost to repaint your car in Dubai depends on the type of vehicle, finish, and scope of the job. At Avenue Auto Services, we offer affordable, transparent pricing for every budget.

Paint Job Type Starting From (AED)
Basic respray (same color) 1,500
Full color change (standard) 3,500
Premium finish (metallic/pearl) 6,000
Ultra-custom or luxury finishes 10,000+
 

All our work is performed using RTA-approved processes, high-quality paint brands, and guaranteed workmanship.

RTA Rules for Car Color Change in Dubai

Changing your car’s color isn’t just a creative decision—it also involves a legal process. That’s why Avenue Auto Services handles the entire RTA approval process for you.

What’s required:

  1. Pre-approval from RTA

  2. Color change completed at an RTA-approved garage (like Avenue Auto Services)

  3. Vehicle inspection and Mulkiya (registration) update

Failing to update your car’s registration after a color change may lead to fines or vehicle rejection during renewal.

We make this process stress-free by handling all the paperwork and legal updates on your behalf.

Repainting vs Wrapping – Which Should You Choose?

We often get asked: Should I wrap or repaint my car?

Here’s what we at Avenue Auto Services suggest:

Repainting:

  • Long-lasting, factory-quality finish

  • Ideal for worn or damaged original paint

  • Increases resale value

Wrapping:

  • Best for temporary style changes

  • Lower cost option for short-term use

  • Less durable in UAE’s extreme heat

For lasting results and premium aesthetics, our experts recommend professional repainting, especially for owners who want a flawless finish.

At Avenue Auto Services, we see the following color trends rising in popularity:

  • Matte and Gloss Black – sleek and timeless

  • Pearl White – luxury and elegance

  • Candy Red – bold and sporty

  • Ocean Blue Metallic – modern and cool

  • Bronze & Copper Tones – unique and trending in 2025

Want something truly custom? We offer custom mixing and OEM color matching so you get the exact shade you envision.
