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!
