6-Year Paint Warranty — The Pinelaki Guarantee
Every paint job at Pinelaki comes with an exclusive 6-year warranty — the longest guarantee offered by any body shop in Cyprus. No fine print, no hidden conditions. If the paint we apply fails within 6 years due to peeling, fading, or defects in our workmanship, we fix it at no cost to you.
What Does Our 6-Year Warranty Cover?
- Paint peeling or flaking caused by workmanship issues
- Colour fading beyond normal weathering (our paints are UV-resistant for the Cyprus sun)
- Clear coat failure — orange peel, clouding, or delamination
- Colour mismatch — if the repaired area doesn't match the surrounding panels
- Primer adhesion failure — bubbling or lifting from the substrate
What Is NOT Covered?
We believe in transparency. Our warranty does not cover:
- Damage from new accidents, stone chips, or physical impact
- Chemical damage (industrial fallout, bird droppings left for extended periods, harsh chemicals)
- Normal wear and tear from age and daily use
- Modifications or repaints done by another shop after our work
- Damage caused by improper washing (automatic car washes with abrasive brushes)
Why Can We Offer This Warranty?
Most body shops in Cyprus offer no stated warranty at all. We can confidently back our work with a 6-year guarantee because of:
- 35+ years of experience — in business since 1991, with over 1,500 vehicles restored
- Computerized colour matching — we use spectrophotometer technology for a perfect, invisible match every time
- Premium materials — we use professional-grade primers, basecoats, and clear coats designed for the Mediterranean climate
- Proper preparation — we never cut corners on sanding, priming, or surface preparation
- Controlled environment — all painting is done in a professional downdraft spray booth, not in the open air

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the warranty transferable if I sell my car?
Yes. The warranty is tied to the vehicle, not the owner. If you sell the car within the 6-year period, the new owner inherits the remaining warranty.
Do I need to bring any documents?
No. We keep digital records of all jobs. Just tell us your name or license plate number and we'll find your repair history.
Does the warranty cover the entire car or just the repaired area?
The warranty covers only the panels or areas that Pinelaki painted. Pre-existing paint on other panels is not covered.
What if I notice an issue after 6 years?
While the formal warranty ends at 6 years, we stand behind our work. Contact us and we'll assess the situation — we value long-term relationships over strict deadlines.
