Frequently asked questions about ChipsAway car scratch repair
Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about car scratch repairs. If your question isn't answered below, feel free to exploreOur full list of auto paint and dent repair FAQs can be found here.
How does SMART Repair work?
SMART Repair is a process that allows us to focus solely on the area of the car that needs repairing, without having to repair a larger area than necessary.
We start by cleaning and drying the damaged area to remove any dirt or wax that could affect the repair. We then carefully tape off the neighboring panels and grind back the damaged area. We can then repair the damage layer by layer; this is then cured with an infrared lamp. The entire area is then expertly primed and repainted in thin coats to give a high quality color matched finish. Finally, the sheet metal is polished and buffed so that the paint looks like new.
How can you make sure the paint color matches?
Here at ChipsAway we use color matching technology to accurately match the color of our repair to your car's natural body color.
Our color matching technology works by using the manufacturer's color code and a device called a spectrophotometer to identify the hues in the paint. Using this information we are able to accurately match that color and ensure our repair will match the color of your car seamlessly. That means you shouldn't see the damage after the repair is complete.
What is the proper aftercare after repairing a car scratch?
Once the repair is complete, the ChipsAway specialist will buff and buff the area to protect the repaired area with a special car scratch polish. To further protect the area afterwards, we recommend not polishing or waxing the car for five days to allow the paint to fully cure. After these five days, the car can be polished and waxed as usual.
How much does a scratch repair cost?
At ChipsAway, we specialize in economical and convenient repairs that put your needs first. Because of our SMART repair method, we can repair a car scratch at a fraction of the cost of a traditional car repair. How much an exact repair will cost depends on the extent of the damage to your car.
