Smash Repairs
in Cairns
Cairns-based smash repairs, done properly.
Pigment to Panel Refinishing is a smash repairs and panel beating workshop right here in Cairns. From our shed on Brown Street in Bungalow, we look after locals across Cairns, Edmonton, Smithfield, Trinity Beach and the northern beaches — anywhere a Cairns driver needs a straight panel and a clean paint job.
At Pigment to Panel Refinishing we cover the full range of collision and refinishing work: dent repairs, structural pull-outs, spray painting, full vehicle resprays, headlight restoration, chip and scratch touch-ups, motorbike smash repair and insurance-backed claims. Every job comes through one workshop, so nothing gets shuffled off to a sub-contractor. We quote, fix it and hand it back.
If your car has copped a knock, a scrape, or is due a proper respray, I'd rather have a look at it than guess over the phone. Bring it into Brown Street or send me a couple of photos — I'll walk you through what's involved and give you a straight answer on cost and turnaround. Reach out to us on 0432 437 710 and we'll sort your ride out.
A full refinishing workshop, not a quick-spray shop.

Our expertise includes panels and paint
At Pigment to Panel Refinishing, our day-to-day is a mix of insurance smash jobs, private repairs and cosmetic work. Some cars come in flat-bedded after a serious hit; others come in for a stone chip on the bonnet or a scratch along the door. We treat both the same way — a proper assessment, a clear quote, and a finish we're happy to put my name on.
Alongside collision work, we take on full vehicle resprays, colour changes, motorcycle panel and fairing repair, and headlight restoration to bring back night-time visibility on older cars. Colour matching is done with a computerised system so the paint blends into the panel next to it — no obvious "repair patch" once it's polished up. If your job is straightforward you can see the full list of services we offer and drill into what's involved.
Being a Cairns local matters. We know how the sun, salt air and wet-season humidity chew through paint up here, and we choose products and processes that hold up in this climate. When you drop your car off at Brown Street, you're dealing with the person doing the work, and not a call centre.
