Auto paint: your Thunderbird
Searching for auto paint for the 1987 Ford Thunderbird? Here is how CarmaCars handles it. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
The car itself
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
The request
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off. We confirm the price and the time with you before any work.
Driving while yours is in
Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Add a rental to the same request as the work. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
After the work
If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
On the day
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule.
When the car is ready
We give you a time with the quote, so you can plan a rental for the right number of days. Book a little ahead for larger jobs; small ones can be quicker to schedule.
What affects the price
Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do.
Next step
Book the work and a rental in one request.
