Paint & refinishing

Color that matches the rest of the car in daylight, not just under shop lights.

Why matching is harder than it looks

The same factory color can vary from car to car, and paint changes with years of sun. That's why we don't just mix the code from the door sticker. We check the color on the car itself and adjust the mix.

How we do it

  • Prep: damaged paint and filler removed, the panel repaired and primed.
  • Color match: matched to your car and checked against the panels next to it.
  • Blending: where needed, the new color is blended into the neighboring panels so there's no visible line.
  • Clear coat and finish: cured, then polished to match the factory gloss.

Paint work comes with our written warranty on body and paint.

Insurance claim or paying yourself

With insurance, we work with your adjuster directly: photos, estimate and supplements for hidden damage. In California you choose the shop, not your insurer (here's how). Paying yourself? Send photos on WhatsApp and get a written estimate before any work starts.
