A paint scratch repair process involves...

...following a series of simple steps that must be carried out to a high standard while following the correct order of application and process.

"metallic and pearlescent finishes.

The paint code I find on a placard attached to your vehicle will give me a recipe for your cars particular color!

These colours are mixed to 100th of a gram to achieve an exact match for your car. After very carefully mixing the paints

Its time for the magic ingredients of the paint repair system to be added ..

..this step enables the new mix to blend perfectly with your original panel colour.?"

The damaged area is prepared and cleaned, any dents and scratches are filled with a high quality bodyfiller and after curing the hardened filler is smoothed away using various grades of abrasives and then finished with a wet and dry emery cloth until smooth enough to allow the application of the newly prepared colour

The mix is now applied in several layers to blend the newly mixed paints on to the existing panel

A lacquer coat is finally added and cured diamond hard with a heat lamp ( which also serves to keep me warm in the winter!!!) The major part of the repair is now complete..

..and all thats left to do is wait for the area to cool before cutting back the newly applied finish with a very fine sandpaper - Yes really!

After smoothing down the panel a cutting paste is applied to polish the panel using finer and finer grades until the repair area matches the original or existing finish giving the final original sparkle

Chips Away can also help with various other types of vehicle damage that do not require use of a paint repair system.

I have been asked on occasion what happens in the summer months when there are many insects about. Yes, they do land on the newly applied paint. But what do you do? I hear you ask... Well, I cure the paint and then knock them off at the ankles!!

This process takes only a few moments for you to read but I will spend between one and a half and five hours to complete the work (depending on the amount of damage)

Your Car Repaired
At Your Convenience
...At Half The Price

I have to say its very satisfying for me to see the finished job and..

even better to see the smile on the customers face

But that sounds so easy.

"So just why is it so hard to buy matching paints for my vehicle"?
