Why We Spot Paint
The Cost of Spot Painting
People generally get their cars painted for one of two reasons: An old auto paint finish that's tired, dull, cracked or chipped calls for painting the entire car. If the auto paint finish is fine, we can help maintain resale value by repairing only the damaged areas and then matching them to the existing surface.

In spot painting, a multiple masking process ensures an accurate blending of the new and old auto paint, and protects the undamaged areas of your car's finish.
Spot painting requires a special multi-step application process to ensure a quality blending of the new and old auto paint finishes. This blending process requires we sequentially blend up to three separate applications beyond the original area. A clearcoat is applied to ensure an accurate gloss match and a seamless, durable auto paint repair.

maintain the resale value of your late model car
The Science of Spot Painting
Save money by spot painting existing paint jobs.
Why we spot paint
Spot painting is appropriate when your car needs only one or two panels painted. In some cases, painting those panels could cost more than painting the whole car. Still, it could be the smart decision especially for late model cars.
Preparation
The repaired area and adjacent panels are chemically cleaned and block sanded to give a precise and flawless surface for painting.
Masking
In spot painting, there is a multiple masking process to ensure on accurate "blending" of the new and old paint as well as to protect the undamaged areas of your car's finish.
Auto body painting
Painting requires a special multi-step application process to ensure a quality blending of the new and old finishes. With special fast-drying paint, this blending process requires up to three separate layers of paint spread sequentially beyond the original area.
Auto body clear coat
Clear coats are often applied to ensure an accurate gloss match and a seamless repair, and to enhance durability.
Color matching & paint color formulation
The age and condition of your car's finish can greatly affect the formulation for color match. To color correct accurately, the professional spray painter must measure the formula within one-tenth of a gram tolerance, spray test panels, and if necessary color correct by eye to achieve the best possible color match.

What is Paint Clear Coat?
Protect your auto body paint with clear coat finishes.
Clear coats are a result of advances in paint technology. Paint manufacturers use them to reduce paint solvent emissions and add a great deal of gloss and "distinctiveness of image" to your car's finish. They are however susceptible to cracking, peeling and delamination. This has been a limitation of OEM paint technology.
