Example:  Bumper Cuts

 



The rear bumper of this maxima has 20+ small cuts and scratches.  These are commonly caused by parallel parking and dragging luggage over the bumper as it's loaded into the trunk.
 



After the touchup paint is applied, the cuts and scratches look quite good from 10+ inches away.
  If we examine the repair from 6 inches or closer, the touchup paint can be spotted.  However, because the bumper is low and a dark color, this $50 touchup is a fine alternative to a $400 repaint.
 


Example:  Long Scratch
 

 

 

 


This scratch is too long to touch up with a touch up brush--the brush strokes will be visible.  So, we will first use a squeegee to apply the color-matching paint to the scratch.  The paint dries in about 2 minutes.  We then remove the excess paint with our proprietary chemical, Paint Leveler.  Paint leveler is a weak solvent.  It allows us to remove the excess paint in layers until we are left with only paint that fills the scratch.  This repair looks very good from 8+ inches away.  The savings are significant, as a body shop would charge as much as $800 to blend paint this metallic grey door.

Example:  Deep Scratch

     

This fender has been scratched deeply--metal is exposed.  We'll first fill the scratch with a single stage scratch-filling putty.  Paint Leveler, applied using a flat foam block, allows up to flatten the putty and create a foundation for our touch up paint.  We choose a matching color from our color deck and mix the paint as directed (12 drops of bottle BLUE4 and 8 drops of bottle BLUE5).  Using a very fine tipped touch up brush, we carefully apply the paint over the putty and get a great result on a relatively difficult metallic blue scratch.

 


Example:  Rock Chips
 

 

 
 

The front bumper of this Subaru has a few large rock chips that have exposed the black plastic beneath.

 

Once dry, the touchup paint blends well with the surrounding area.  The chips have been thoroughly cleaned, and this is a permanent repair.

 



Example:  Deep Bumper Cuts
 
   
   

The bumper of this Camry is cut deep.  A body shop would charge $350 to fix this damage.

Because the damage is low on the bumper, and it is a solid color, the cut could be filled, then touched up permanently in about 15 minutes...a significant savings of time and money.


 

Example:  Road Rash
 
 

 
 

The "peppered" appearance of this fender is the result of rock chips so numerous and small that they cannot be touched up with a brush.  Our wipe on/off touch up technique greatly improves the appearance of this BMW M5.
