resprays
New paint jobs
Resprays is the plural of respray—a fresh coat of paint applied to a vehicle or other surface, typically to repair damage or change color.
A car that's been in an accident might need a respray.
The term also works as a verb: The body shop resprays about twenty cars a week.
In British usage especially, respray can suggest a superficial makeover that doesn't address underlying problems.
