Paint & refinishing
A durable finish starts with the repair underneath.
Refinishing is part of the repair plan. Substrate condition, preparation, corrosion protection, color evaluation, adjacent panels, materials, booth process, and final inspection all affect the result.
Finish appearance depends on more than color.
Lighting and the condition of the surface affect how a finish appears. Inspection and the underlying repair scope help define the refinishing conversation.

Color is evaluated on the actual vehicle
Age, finish condition, previous repairs, color variants, lighting, panel orientation, and repair location can all influence the refinishing plan.
Preparation is part of quality
Cleaning, repair quality, sanding, masking, material use, environmental conditions, and cure requirements are addressed before the final appearance can be evaluated.
Discuss the damage with the shop.
Before you schedule
Questions worth answering clearly.
Can you guarantee a color match before inspection?
The refinishing approach should be evaluated on the actual vehicle. Avoid relying on a website promise before the color, condition, and repair area are reviewed.
