Spot Painting

If your car is in great shape but only has a few imperfections, a touch up may be all you need to restore your car to its former glory. Spot painting can often be the best and most cost efficient option in these cases.

Before targeting the trouble areas, we'll clean and block sand surrounding areas to make sure the entire surface is ready to be painted. We utilize a multiple masking process to make sure the new and old paint is properly blended. This will result in a seamless transition and a great end product!

Finishing

At Maaco of Fort Smith, we never let dust, dirt or lint get in the way of a flawless paint job. Following any spot painting, we'll perform our standard finishing work. This entails any necessary sanding, buffing and polishing to get rid of any remaining imperfections.

This process begins with wet sanding, which is evenly spread over the surface and then smoothed out. Next, we use a liquid compound to carefully buff the area. The final step of polishing will restore the shine to your paint and clear coat.

Our finishing process ensures any spot painting is complete and perfect.
