Your Taurus and paint work
CarmaCars takes requests for paint work on the 2003 Ford Taurus, and rents you a car while yours is in. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Your Taurus, up close
As a large sedan, it is a straightforward size for this work. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a quote
Nothing is booked until you agree to the price and the time. You can add a rental to the same request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
Keep your week on track
Pick the rental from our fleet; delivery is priced in the offer. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Your offer shows any delivery fee before you pay.
Getting the car ready
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work.
Why prices differ
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. We price the job before we start, never after.
After the work
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Keep the invoice with your records; it helps when you sell the car.
Planning around the work
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. Collect the car when it is ready, or ask us to arrange the handover.

A person reads every request and replies with the next step.
