Paint touch up: your Thunderbird
Your 1985 Ford Thunderbird needs scratch repair? Send the details, and we reply within one business day. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted.
About your Thunderbird
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. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; a repair visit is a good moment to ask whether each was done.
From request to appointment
A person reads your request and replies with the next step. If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. Ask anything about the work in the request.
Your car is in; you are not stuck
Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. Rent the size of car you need for the days the work takes. The car can come to your door in the Toronto area, or you pick it up at no charge.
What affects the price
A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
After the work
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Park out of direct sun when you can to protect paint and interior.
Timing
Parts on order can add days to a repair; we tell you when that happens. Coatings and paint need time to cure, which is part of the schedule.
Getting the car ready
Tell us about any marks or damage already on the car, so we note them together. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.
Ready when you are
