Your 1981 Ford F-600: the work

Searching for auto paint for the 1981 Ford F-600? Here is how CarmaCars handles it. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.

The car itself

Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.

What happens after you ask

If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. You can add a rental to the same request. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.

Keep driving meanwhile

Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. A rental means the work does not stop your week. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.

When the car is ready

Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover. Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days.

Looking after it afterwards

A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.

Pricing, plainly

Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.

A few things first

Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.

Ready when you are

Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
