Scratch & Dent Motors paints cars, vans and trucks at our College Park, GA shop, from refinishing a single repaired panel to a complete paint job. Every job starts with proper prep, then a color matched to your vehicle, then clear coat, so the finish looks even in sunlight and holds up in Georgia heat.

## Types of paint work we do

### Panel refinishing

After a [dent](https://scratchanddentmotors.com/services/dent-repair/), [scratch](https://scratchanddentmotors.com/services/scratch-repair/) or [bumper repair](https://scratchanddentmotors.com/services/bumper-repair/), the repaired area is primed, painted and blended into the neighboring panels so you cannot tell where the repair begins.

### Complete paint jobs

When the paint is faded, peeling, sun-damaged or mismatched from years of repairs, a full repaint brings the whole vehicle back to one even color. This is also where a color change starts.

### Clear coat restoration

Georgia sun is hard on clear coat. When the top layer turns cloudy, chalky or starts peeling, the affected panels need to be sanded and re-cleared or refinished before the color coat underneath is damaged too.

## Why prep is most of the job

Paint only looks as good as the surface under it. Before any color goes on, the old finish is sanded, damaged areas are repaired, bare metal is primed, and the vehicle is masked so paint lands only where it should. Skipping prep is how paint jobs peel, bubble or show every flaw underneath.

## Color matching

Your vehicle's color has a paint code, but real-world color also depends on age and sun exposure. We match the paint to your vehicle, then blend it into the surrounding panels so the new paint does not stand out as a patch.

## Built for less expensive cars too

We believe a daily driver deserves the same care as an expensive car. Tell us what you want from the paint work and your budget, and we will explain the options honestly.

## Questions about auto painting

### Can you paint just one panel?

Yes. Most paint work is refinishing the panels involved in a repair, blended into the surrounding paint.

### Can you fix peeling clear coat?

Yes. Peeling or cloudy clear coat is sanded down and the panel is refinished and re-cleared.

### Do you do full color changes?

Yes. A color change is a complete paint job. Talk with us about the color and how much of the vehicle you want painted, including door jambs.
