Paint Repair for Scratches, Chips and Scuffs
Most paint jobs we do are small. A keyed door, a scraped corner, rock chips across the hood. We repair the damaged panel and blend the color into the panels next to it so the repair disappears.
- Key marks and deep scratches through the clear coat
- Rock chips on hoods, bumpers and mirrors
- Scuffs from parking garages and posts
- Spot repairs blended into the panels around them
Clear Coat Repair and Restoration in Arizona
The Arizona sun is hard on clear coat. Once it starts to haze, peel or flake, polish won't bring it back. We sand off the failed layer and spray new base and clear, so the paint is sealed again.
- Peeling clear coat on roofs, hoods and trunks
- Hazy or chalky paint that won't shine after a wash
- Faded and oxidized paint on cars parked outside
- Bumper covers where the paint has started to lift
How We Match Your Factory Color
Every car leaves the factory with a paint code. We match that code by computer, then blend the new paint into the next panel. The blend is what hides the edge of the repair.
- Computer color matching to your car's factory paint code
- Blending into the next panel, so there's no hard line
- Factory finishes on luxury and exotic cars, to the maker's steps
Full Repaints and Panel Painting
Sometimes one panel isn't enough. Sun damage across the whole car, or years of mismatched touch-ups, can call for a full refinish. That takes one to two weeks, and most of it is prep.
- Full repaints in your car's factory color
- Single panel painting: a door, hood, fender or roof
- Fleet vehicle refinishing
- Custom paint work
Prep Is Most of the Job
Paint only looks as good as what's under it. Every panel is sanded, primed and masked before color goes on. Then it's sprayed in a downdraft booth that pulls dust away from the car.
- Sanding and priming down to a sound surface
- Masking so overspray stays off the glass, trim and wheels
- Base coat and clear coat sprayed in a downdraft booth
- A final buff, polish and inspection before you pick it up
Insurance or Out of Pocket
Paint damage from a crash, a vandal or a covered storm is often paid by insurance. Sun fading and age wear usually aren't, so check your policy. The estimate is free either way.
- Free written estimate, from photos or in person
- We handle the adjuster and the paperwork on a claim
- Limited lifetime warranty on our paint work, for as long as you own the car
FAQs
Paint questions, answered plainly.
Will the new paint match the rest of my car?
Yes. We match your factory paint code by computer and blend the new paint into the panels next to it. That blend is what hides the edge of the repair.
Can you fix peeling or faded clear coat?
Yes. Peeling clear coat can't be polished back, so we sand off the failed layer and refinish the panel with new base and clear. We see it a lot on roofs and hoods here because of the Arizona sun.
How long does a paint job take?
A single panel usually takes two to three days. A full repaint takes one to two weeks, depending on how much prep the car needs.
Do you paint one panel or the whole car?
Either. Most jobs are one or two panels blended into the rest. We only suggest a full repaint when the damage covers most of the car.
Is paint damage covered by insurance?
Damage from an accident or another covered event usually is. Sun fading and wear usually aren't. If there's a claim, we work with your insurer and handle it for you.
Do you paint luxury and exotic cars?
Yes. We're approved by McLaren, Mercedes-Benz at the Elite level, Tesla and Lucid, and we follow each maker's repair steps on their cars.
Is there a warranty on paint work?
Yes. Our paint and refinishing work carries a limited lifetime warranty for as long as you own the car. If something's wrong with our work, we'll make it right.
How do I get a paint estimate?
Send photos on our estimate page or bring the car to 8120 E Raintree Dr in Scottsdale. Estimates are free. You can also call (480) 951-3441.
