Scratch & Scuff Repair in Guttenberg, NJ
Scratches, scuffs, and paint transfer from another vehicle leave marks on yours. We sand, blend, and refinish the panel until it matches again.
How we fix a scratch or scuff
It comes down to how deep the mark goes.
Clear coat only: polished out. A scratch in the clear coat only can often be polished out with no repainting.
Deeper: refinished. Once it reaches the color coat, the primer, or bare metal, the area has to be sanded, refinished, and blended to match.
Scuffs: often compounded off. A scuff is often paint transferred from another car or a wall sitting on top of your clear coat, and that can sometimes be compounded off. If it has cut into the finish, we treat it like a scratch at that depth and refinish the spot with computerized color matching.
Why you might need it
Moisture gets in. A scratch that breaks the paint lets moisture in and can start rust.
Small stays small. Fixing it keeps a small mark from turning into a bigger repair.
