Everything you need to know about Car Scratch Repairs in Papakura, AUK
DingGo offers a comprehensive range of Car Scratch Repairs options. Scratches to car paint are very commonplace during a vehicle's lifetime. Many scratches that would require Car Scratch Repairs are accidental and are most commonly caused by keys, kids, car parks, garages and collisions with other vehicles. Car Scratch Repairs requirements are dictated by the length and the depth of the scratch. Some surface level car paint scratches can just be easily buffed out while others that go all the way to the metal require more extensive panel beating, including painting and application of clear coats. The colour and type of paint on your car also makes a big difference to the smash repair process and particularly the cost. With most standard colours and paints, a panel beater can easily source the required paint and simply paint the localised area of the car where the damage has occurred. If your car colour is metallic or for example a three-layer pearl, then more coats of paint are required and more extensive paint repair is required, including paint blending on surrounding panels to match the paint repaired area. This can mean a simple small scratch can require a large amount of paintwork and repairs to return the car back to its original factory condition.

What is paint blending and why is that important in fixing Car Scratch Repairs?
Paint blending is required for most Car Scratch Repairs so the colour of the car looks consistent. If you just paint the scratched area only then the newly painted panel will look different compared to the old paint on the other panels of the car. Some colours and paint types require larger amounts of blending to give a car perfect a factory finish. Without blending the scratch repaired panels will stick out like a new bathroom tile.
What is a ‘paint touch up’ and why is it much cheaper?
As the name suggests a touch up is when the repairer literally paints over the scratched area only. Protective finishing clear coats are usually not applied either. With very small scratches this process is usually good enough. However, with the majority of scratches, a touch-up job is not recommended as they will leave a dark, noticeable mark over the damaged area and will likely fade in the harsh Australian climate within 6 to 12 months.
What are Small to Medium Area Repair Technologies?
Small to Medium Area Repair Technologies are meant for small Car Scratch Repairs, dents or dings that can be repaired efficiently without needing conventional panel beating methods. In the case of Car Scratch Repairs, this usually means isolating the painting and blending to a minimal area to save time and costs.
