Accidentally scratched your car? Don’t worry — our paint and body repair service can help!
Car painting is a precise, multi-step process designed to restore your vehicle’s appearance, cover up scratches or damage, and bring back (or change) its original color and shine.
1. Vehicle Inspection & Preparation
Damage assessment: Our technicians inspect the vehicle for dents, scratches, or rust.
Part removal: Components may be removed as needed to ensure painting quality.
2. Sanding & Repair
Surface sanding: The vehicle surface is sanded using sandpaper or machinery.
Filling dents: Body filler is applied to smooth out dents or scratches.
Anti-rust treatment: Rusted areas are treated to prevent corrosion and extend vehicle lifespan.
3. Primer Application
Primer coating: A primer layer is applied to help the paint adhere better and protect against rust.
4. Color Painting
Color matching: The color is selected based on the original factory code or customer preference.
Layered spraying: Typically 2–3 layers of color paint are applied, allowing drying time between each.
Color consistency: Our technicians control spray angle and distance to ensure a smooth, even finish.
5. Clear Coat Application
Protective coating: The clear coat protects the color layer, adding gloss and durability.
Baking process: The paint is baked in an oven to harden the coating and enhance its strength.
6. Polishing & Finishing
Polish and wax: The body is polished to a glossy finish, removing any minor imperfections.
Final inspection: All removed parts are reinstalled, and the paint finish is checked for consistency, ensuring no drips or bubbles.
