Auto paint: the 1981 Mercury Lynx
This page covers paint work for the 1981 Mercury Lynx, and a rental while the car is with us. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
What your car means for the work
A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
What happens after you ask
Send a few photos and the year and trim; that is enough for a first price. Ask anything about the work in the request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
Driving while yours is in
Keep driving: rent from us while the work is done. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Planning around the work
We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price. If the car must stay overnight, we tell you before it comes in.
Looking after it afterwards
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
What affects the price
The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. Larger vehicles take more product and more hours, so they cost more. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes.
Before you drop the car off
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Ready when you are
Want a quote? A request with a few photos is the fastest way.
