Paint touch up for the 1981 Honda Prelude

For the 1981 Honda Prelude, scratch repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Light scratches can be polished out; deeper ones are filled and repainted. Paint work is matched to the original colour, panel by panel or the whole car.

What your car means for the work

As a small car, it is a straightforward size for this work. A car of this size is quick to work on compared with a large SUV. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.

The request

A person reads your request and replies with the next step. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. You can add a rental to the same request.

Need a car meanwhile?

We collect the rental when your car is ready. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. We deliver across the Toronto area, or you collect the car from our location for free.

How the price is set

The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.

Before you drop the car off

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. Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day.

Aftercare

New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish.

When the car is ready

Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner. We keep you posted if the timing changes.

Talk to a person

A person reads your request and replies with a price and a time.
