2003 Dodge Intrepid Overall Paint job

This customer wanted to revive this Delaminating (peeling) paint job and make this beauty look like new again. The customer decided they wanted us to do the extra prepping methods to correct this paint imperfection which paid off in the long run! Just look at her shine! We use Urethane Single-Stage paint titled "Brilliant Black"

DELAMINATING PAINT & MICROCHECK EXAMPLE   

These two pictures are good examples of delaminating paint and microcheck on the same body panel. This is caused by the heating and cooling of the cars surface. This tends to happen more on darker colored cars! When the surface is exposed to the sun all day the paint expands. At night when the surface cools down it will return to the original condition. This causes the paint to have tiny "check marks" only being able to notice when inspecting paint close enough! 

1994 Honda Civic Revamp

This customer came in looking to paint their aftermarket parts that they installed to match their original paint job titled "Frost White".  This customer wanted to paint over the moldings, door handles and mirrors. Choosing to paint said parts the same color as the car was a bold move worth making!

Hyundai Elantra vs Fence

We see at least a couple of cars each year that have gone through a fence. The damage is not usually as severe as when vehicles hit each other but the damage covers more area. These accidents happen when drivers swerve to avoid something, hit the gas instead of the brake, unattended cars not set to park, etc. In this case we replaced the bumper, headlights, fog light, fender liners, air intake duct that was mounted in the corner of the bumper. We also repaired and repainted the hood.

2005 Honda Civic Si Revamp

A young driver and his parents wanted his first car to be something a little special. So they took a nice Honda Civic Si that was looking a little old and made it look new. The Honda Championship White paint is a nice touch and a tribute to Honda's first Formula 1 victory in 1960.

Mazda 3 Bumper Repair

Mazda 3 bumper was crushed in a parking lot incident. We replace the bumper and a broken reflector. This Mazda has a premium, 3-stage paint that is hard to match. Even in the "before" photos you can see that the original bumper color does not exactly match the rest of the car. In these situations we recommend blending (or fading) paint onto the adjacent panels to better hide this color mis-match. Or, as this customer chose, you can keep cost lower if you are able to tolerate a slight color difference.

Before:

Note original slight color mis-match on rear bumper cover at the time the customer dropped off the vehicle. Bumpers can often be a slightly different color than the rest of the car due to differences in plastic vs. metal parts. This difference is even greater on 3-stage (also called "tri-stage" or "candy") paints.

2012 Honda Civic Collision Repair

We replaced the fender and mirror and fixed the dent on the door. We often explain to customers what the difference is if we repair vs. replace a part. In this case, the customer was paying for repairs themselves. Replacing the fender resulted in a better quality repair and also cost less than trying to repair it. On the other hand, it was far less expensive to repair the door than to replace it. Feel free to ask us why you should choose one option over the other. We always provide honest recommendations from both a quality and cost perspective. If an option is both better quality and less expensive, that is the option we will always recommend.
