Scratch Repair

A focused approach to scratches, scuffs, and damaged clear coat.

Focused guidance

The depth of a scratch matters more than its length alone.

Marks contained in the clear coat are different from scratches that expose primer, metal, plastic, or an earlier repair. We examine the affected surface and surrounding finish to determine the level of repair the panel may need.

Location changes the scope.

A scratch at a door edge, bumper corner, or body line can involve more than paint because those areas are exposed to flexing and frequent contact. Clean, well-lit photos make a useful first reference.
