The 1982 Mercury Cougar: Paint touch up

Searching for paint touch up for the 1982 Mercury Cougar? Here is how CarmaCars handles it. 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 Cougar

Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. As a compact car, it is a straightforward size for this work. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file for it; a dealer can check by the VIN.

The request

We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected. A person reads your request and replies with the next step.

Need a car meanwhile?

Your rental can be waiting when you drop your car off. Add a rental to your request, and we deliver it to you. Pick it up from us for free, or have it brought to you.

Planning around the work

You can plan the rental for the same number of days as the work. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.

What affects the price

Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. The same job can take more time on a car with more trim or detail.

Getting the car ready

Ask any question you have before the work starts. 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.

After the work

New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. A quick wipe of bird droppings and sap stops them from marking the paint.

Ask us

Send a request with a few photos, and we reply with a price.
