Paint touch up: the 1985 Mercury Topaz
Paint touch up for the 1985 Mercury Topaz: tell us about the car, and a person replies with a price and a time. 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.
Size and finish
Tell us the year and the trim; the details change from one to the next. Photos of the car help us quote it accurately. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking a time
We confirm the price and the time with you before any work. You can add a rental to the same request. Tell us when the car is free and whether you can drop it off.
A rental while we work
We bring the rental to you and collect it later. Choose a car from our fleet for the days the work takes. Collect the car at our location for free, or have it delivered.
After the work
Regular washes in winter help keep road salt from attacking the paint. Look over the work in daylight when you collect the car.
Why prices differ
Ask what is included, so you can compare quotes fairly. The condition of the car matters too; heavy dirt, deep scratches or rust take longer. If we find something unexpected, we ask before we change the price.
What to bring
Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one. Take valuables and personal items out of the car before the work. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
How long it takes
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work.

Send photos and a few details, and a person replies with the next step.
