Common questions
Can a scratch be fixed without painting the whole car?
Usually. Most scratch and paint repairs refinish only the damaged panel and blend the color into the panels next to it so the repair matches. Repainting a whole car is a different kind of job.
How can I tell if a scratch needs paint work?
If your fingernail catches in the scratch, it has likely gone through the clear coat and may need paint. Light marks that sit only on the surface can sometimes be polished out.
Where do I find my car's paint code?
On most cars it is on a label in the driver door jamb. On some it is under the hood or in the trunk. A dealer can also look it up from your VIN.
