Panel Painting
Panel painting is the right option when a panel is damaged, repaired, or the finish is failing. Quality paintwork depends heavily on preparation, material choice, and realistic expectations.
We paint individual panels and repaired sections. Before any work begins, we inspect the area and explain what level of finish and color match is realistic.
Bumper scuff & scratch repair (cosmetic)
Starting from $50–$150
- Light bumper scuffs and scratches
- Cosmetic improvement
- Avoiding the cost of replacing a bumper
This service improves appearance only. It is not a full repaint and is not intended to restore damaged structure. Results depend on damage severity.
Panel painting (starting prices)
Prices vary based on preparation required, paint type, and finish expectations.
- Bumper / Fender: starting around $250
- Door: starting around $350
- Hood: starting around $400 (higher material usage)
- Quarter panel: $450–$1,000 (depends on finish quality and whether inner jambs are painted)
Bumper removal and installation typically $100–$200, depending on complexity.
Blending may be recommended for better color match and affects final pricing.
Color match & blending (important)
A perfect color match is not always possible due to paint aging and fading, metallic/pearl characteristics, lighting differences, and prior repairs or repaints.
We’ll explain whether single-panel paint is reasonable or if blending is recommended for better results.
Paint polish add-ons (optional)
One-stage polish & shine — $100
- Basic gloss enhancement
- Improves overall shine and appearance
- Not intended to remove scratches or defects
Good option to freshen the look after panel painting.
Two-stage paint correction — Starting at $450
- Cut and refine process
- Significantly improves clarity and reduces visible defects
- Final pricing depends on vehicle size, paint condition, and hardness
Important: Results depend on paint condition and thickness. Not all defects can be safely removed. This is not show-car or multi-stage correction unless specifically quoted.
What affects final pricing
- Paint type (solid vs metallic/pearl)
- Prep and repair required
- Single panel vs blending
- Panel material (plastic vs metal)
- Desired finish level
No work begins without confirming scope.
