Auto paint: your Sierra
The 1997 GMC Sierra needs paint work? Send photos and when it suits you. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Size and finish
As a pickup truck, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking a time
You can add a rental to the same request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Ask anything about the work in the request.
A rental meanwhile
Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. We hand every car over in person, at your address or at our location.
Pricing, plainly
If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. A quote from us is free and comes with no obligation.
Keeping it that way
A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint. Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint.
What to bring
Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive. Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together.
Planning around the work
Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days. A clear timeline comes with every quote.
When you know your dates
