Paint Correction

Extreme Correction

This hood was so heavily gouged that there was hardly any clear left to work with. This time, adding our 4K polycoat Color in Clear to the surface allowed us to work with the added material to give this new look to the finish. This isn’t a new paint job. This is expert craftsmanship.

We offer expert paint correction and airbrush touch up craftsmanship at its finest level. Definitely a prerequisite for any paint protection coating to give the finest results to ensure adhesion, longevity and restore that gloss and shine to your car’s finish. See our gallery for sample work.

“Cheap bad service is still overpaying and will most definitely damage your finish in the long run”

Paint correction Services for an entire vehicle (depending on the condition of the finish) range in levels from:

  • Good - ($300 - $600) - This level removes 40% to 60% most swirls and spider web marks on your entire vehicle. (What most new, yes new, and near new cars will have)

  • Better - ($600 - $1200) - This level removes 50% to 80% of most imperfections on your entire vehicle including swirl marks, hazing, spider webs and begins to move into the paint touch up arena and can range widely in your investment depending on condition and color. (What most 1 to 2 year old cars will have)

  • Best - ($1200 - $2000) - This level removes 80% to 98% of most imperfections on your entire vehicle and includes deep compounding work, airbrush touch up & 4k Polycoat (color in the clear) followed up with medium and fine polishing that will bring your finish to a mirror shine and gloss you probably have never seen. (What most 2 to 10 year old cars will have) (Please not this is a multi day process)

Stand alone panel correction services are available upon request and range on a similar scale depending on severity and so forth:

  • Hoods, Roofs and Trunk lids - ($150 - $500)

  • Doors, Fenders and Rear Quarter Panels - ($100 - $300)

  • A, B and C Pillars - ($50 - 200)


Paint Airbrush Touch up

Few can cut and polish paint well. Even fewer can add material though modern advanced air brush paint touch up techniques that can take your damaged finish to the next level.

Stand alone touch up services are similar in price to Correction services though are rarely sought out for a separate service other than small chips here and there. If there are chips in your paint, there are surely corrections to be made as well and both should be done at the same time.


Paint Protection

Paint protection comes in many forms, from waxes and sealants to Paint Protection Film and everything in between. The general public knows more about “Ceramic Coatings” than ever before but few know that not all coatings are the same and neither do they all add the same protections nor live up to the marketing hype promoted by most companies.

Don’t be fooled by detailers offering cheap “Ceramic Sealants” as “Ceramic Coating”. They are not the same even if they are a cheaper alternative. Cheap bad service is still overpaying.

Coating protections shouldn’t be confusing and should applied at the time paint corrections are completed. When a correction is performed all sealants, waxes and protectants are removed and your paint is completely naked to the elements. That is the time to apply a good coating to your vehicle.

Your menu can simply be looked at in a scale of Good, Better and Best and can be combined with correction services to save on costs. For instance a “Best” Paint correction on severely damaged paint can be coated with a “Better” coating choice and be bundled for $2000+ to $2500+ depending on the damage and size and color of the vehicle:

  • Good - ($300 - $600) - This can be a SIO2 Ceramic spray, Graphene or Premium Wax coating that has a protection period of a 3 or 6 month coverage period depending on the product chosen. (Follow up visits for re-application topper coats are a requirement)

  • Better - ($700 - $1200) - This can be an advanced SIO2 spray, Graphene paste or Ceramic liquid on pad application that has a protection period of 6 to 24 months depending on the product chosen. (Follow up re-application topper coats are required every 3 to 6 months)

  • Best - ($800 - $1800) - This is an advanced Ceramic coat that is applied after a full paint correction that has a protection period of 12 to 48 months. (Follow up topper coats are required every 6 to 12 months.

*Please note - Because of the advanced & semi permanent nature of the long term coverage coatings, this option should only be chosen by those disciplined enough to never go to an automatic car wash lest their investment is scratched and expensive re application will be required. Otherwise the Good and Better options are more appropriate since they are easily removed and reapplied after paint correction is performed.
