Frequently asked questions
General
Vehicles all have the paint code on them from the factory. We look up that paint code in our advanced computer system and get the mixing formula. Our vehicles all have the various colors to mix your specific paint code. We can even alter the color to help match your vehicle even better than just going off the paint code.
To simplify it, think of it like after we fix any damage, then we primer beyond where we sanded. Then we will mix up and spray the color portion beyond where we primered to blend the new paint (color portion) in with the existing paint. After we have blended the paint, we then typically clearcoat the entire panel. Clearcoat is whay makes it all shine and gives it the protection over the color.
Yep. With the year make and model ( example: 2023 Cadillac Escalade) we automatically know so much about the vehicle such as color options. We service a large area so we need to know that for scheduling and availability. Pictures show us everything we need to know to give you an exact quote for your minor autobody repair. We even have a video to help you see what type of pictures we need to give you an exact quote for your minor autobody repair.
No. We actually prefer to complete the entire autobody repair in your driveway. Sunlight helps us better see any autobody damage like scratches or faded paint that you just don't see in the darkness of a garage. UV light from the sun also helps speed up the drying process in our primer, automotive paint and clearcoat.
No. We do not see any significant benefit to removing a bumper just to paint it. The reason old school bodyshops do that is because of workspace. With a bumper on the car you will need a single car garage just to work on it. If you take the bumper off then you can cram 5 or more technicians in there to work on 5-10 bumpers in the same space. Also we don't like to remove bumpers to repair them because they often don't line up quite as good as before.
Have you noticed how colors get more amazing each year? Typically the prettier a color is, the more difficult it is to mix or match. Three stage colors like pearl white have always been difficult to match. Teslas are hard too since the manufacturer does not allow the major paint companies to match vehicle colors as the come down the assembly line like every single other manufacturer does.
