Auto paint for the 1981 Buick Regal

The 1981 Buick Regal needs paint work? Send photos and when it suits you. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.

Size and finish

If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.

From request to appointment

Ask anything about the work in the request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.

Keep your week on track

Add a rental to the same request as the work. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.

Keeping it that way

Ask us when the next visit would make sense for your car. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.

When the car is ready

We call or write when the car is ready, and you collect it or we arrange the handover. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.

How the price is set

Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. We explain the price in plain words if anything is unclear.

On the day

Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
