Your Escort and paint work
Your 1990 Ford Escort and paint work: what to send us, what it involves, and a car to drive meanwhile. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Size and finish
We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.
Getting a price
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. You can add a rental to the same request.
Keep your week on track
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
How long you are without it
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
Before you drop the car off
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. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
Pricing, plainly
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail.
Looking after it afterwards
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
Send a request
Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.

Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
