It is very easy for a vehicle to become dinged or scratched. Sometimes the damage extends beyond the clear coat and a repair to the paint job is needed. This could be simple or expensive depending on the type of damage and the location. The good news is that a mobile car paint repair service is in your area. You can come into the garage or receive a housecall.
A scratch is often not that difficult to repair. The specialist might fill in the scratch with a color that blends with the clearcoat or else fill the clearcoat with a marker that conceals any damage to the paint. A more thorough job is to strip away the paint and the clear coat and then to reapply them, and this can take hours at least.
For simple problems, go ahead and make a housecall. This busy and popular establishment is grateful for an excuse to keep the garage free of extra vehicles, and it is convenient for the car owner. Simple repair methods take very little time and are less expensive than stripping and reapplying the paint layers. It is also possible to do a spot repair, in which case the application takes the place of both the paint and the clear coat. This cheap fix can also be durable.
There are several advantages to using a professional. The first is the increased number of methods available. For a home amateur, cracking paint can be treated by removing the flake and rust and then going over it with an appropriately colored paint marker. This repair is reasonable if all the rust is removed, but the color might not precisely match. It also does not treat the problem that the car has a damaged clear coat.
A car painter can recommend solutions. If it is not too late, the clearcoat can be repaired and the underlying steel spared from rust. If there is already considerable damage, then a new clearcoat will not prevent flaking because the paint layer will absorb moisture. The only real fix is to strip and replace the old paint layer.
A mobile car paint repair can do it all. Whether or not the repair is worth it is up to the vehicle owner. Older vehicles can be kept in prime condition for a very long time if properly maintained. If the engine is maintained well, then go ahead and get a new paint job. If the maintenance schedule is kept up, the car will last as long as its new paint job.
