Auto paint: your Taurus
Need paint work for your 1987 Ford Taurus? Tell us about the car and when suits you. 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 mid-size car, it is a straightforward size for this work. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
From request to appointment
Ask anything about the work in the request. Send the year, the trim and what you want done; photos make the price more accurate. We reply within one business day with a time and a price.
Stay on the road
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Before you drop the car off
Ask any question you have before the work starts. 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.
How the price is set
The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
Aftercare
Ask us how to care for the work when you collect the car. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
Timing
Tell us the date you need the car back, and we say whether it is realistic. We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days.
Ready to ask?
Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.
