Your F-250 and paint work
Searching for auto paint for the 1981 Ford F-250? Here is how CarmaCars handles it. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
What your car means for the work
A bigger body means more surface to work on, which shows in the time. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Your request
Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time.
Stay on the road
We collect the rental when your car is ready. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.
How long you are without it
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
What to bring
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
Pricing, plainly
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
Looking after it afterwards
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
