Scratches, chips and clear-coat damage
We inspect key scratches, parking scrapes, rock chips, car-wash scratches, paint transfer and clear-coat damage before recommending a repair. Light surface marks may respond to polishing; damage through the finish needs a different process. Buffing cannot replace missing paint.
Preparation makes the difference
Sanding, surface preparation, primer and body repair provide the foundation for refinishing. We address the underlying damage before applying color and clear coat. Peeling, flaking, oxidation and earlier paint repairs are considered when planning the work.
Color matching and blending
Our professional paint systems and color-matching process account for the vehicle’s finish. Metallic and pearl colors, panel position and the condition of adjacent paint can affect the approach. Blending helps create a consistent appearance across repaired and neighboring areas.
Protection after refinishing
At pickup, ask about care for the repaired finish, including washing, polishing and any waiting period appropriate to the work. Our paint application carries a limited lifetime warranty; our team can explain the applicable terms.

Not usually for localized collision damage. We explain which panels need repair or blending after inspection.
Is paint work covered by your warranty?
Paint application is covered by our limited lifetime warranty. Ask the shop about the coverage and terms for your repair.
