Scratch and Paint Chip Repair

A scratch repair starts with how deep the mark goes. If it is only in the clear coat, a polish can often remove it. If it reaches the color or the primer, it needs filling, priming and paint on the repaired spot.

Rock chips on the hood and front bumper, door-edge chips and long key marks are the usual jobs. We prepare the area, apply color from the car’s paint code and finish with clear coat so the repair resists UV and washing.

Catching a chip early matters: bare metal near the coast can start to rust, and a small spot repair costs far less than a panel repaint later.

Frequently asked questions

Can you buff out scratches?

If the scratch is only in the clear coat, yes. Deeper scratches need paint on the repaired spot.

Do chips need to be fixed quickly?

Chips that expose bare metal can rust, especially in salt air, so earlier is better.

Will the spot repair be visible?

We match the paint code and blend the area, so a good repair is hard to see in normal daylight.
