Auto paint: your Forester
This page covers paint work for the 2003 Subaru Forester, and a rental while the car is with us. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.
Size and finish
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. As an SUV, it has more paint, glass and interior than a small car, so the work takes longer. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking the work
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Ask anything about the work in the request. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.
A car while yours is in
Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. A rental by the day keeps you moving while your car is in. Delivery is priced by distance in your offer, and pickup from us is free.
Timing
Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
Looking after it afterwards
Keep a soft cloth in the car for small marks. New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax.
Pricing, plainly
Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. Options such as sensors, trim pieces or special paint can add time.
A few things first
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Ask any question you have before the work starts.
When you know your dates
Tell us about the car and the work, and we take it from there.

Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
