Auto paint: your 500
This page covers paint work for the 2012 Fiat 500, and a rental while the car is with us. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
What your car means for the work
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
Booking the work
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
Driving while yours is in
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. A rental means the work does not stop your week. Delivery covers the Toronto area, priced by distance in your offer; pickup from us is free.
Pricing, plainly
A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. Paint colours with pearl or metallic finishes can take more work to match.
Before you drop the car off
If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
Planning around the work
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. A clear timeline comes with every quote.
Aftercare
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Rinse off winter salt regularly to protect paint and wheels.

A short request is all it takes to get a price for your car.
