Every type of scratch repaired
Not all scratches are the same. The depth of the damage determines the repair method — and quoting accurately from photos means you get the right fix at the right price, not an estimate that changes when the car arrives.
Clear coat scratches
The most minor scratches — only the protective clear coat layer has been affected. These can often be corrected with machine polishing without any paint application needed. Result is flawless.
Paint layer scratches
The scratch has gone through the clear coat and into the colour coat but hasn't reached the primer or metal. Requires careful sanding, re-spraying and lacquering of the affected area.
Deep scratches to primer
The scratch has cut down to the grey primer layer. Common with keys, stones or harder scrapes. Needs primer, colour coat and lacquer applied in sequence to restore a factory finish.
Bare metal scratches
The most severe — paint, primer and sometimes even metal have been damaged. These must be treated quickly to prevent rust forming. Full multi-stage paint repair is required.
Scuffs and paint transfer
Another vehicle or object has left paint or rubber on your car. The transfer is removed and the underlying paint is assessed for damage. Often quicker to repair than it looks.
Key scratches
Deliberate key damage is typically a long, deep single scratch across a panel. It usually requires a full panel respray and careful blending into adjacent panels for an invisible result.
