Paint touch up for the 1997 Porsche Boxster
Paint touch up for your 1997 Porsche Boxster? Start with a request; a person replies with a price and a time. 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.
Size and finish
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Premium cars often have more trim and sensors to work around; mention any options in your request. If the car has open recalls, a dealer fixes them; ask about them while the car is off the road.
Booking a time
You can add a rental to the same request. Ask anything about the work in the request. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Keep driving meanwhile
A rental by the day covers the time your car is in. Add a rental to the same request as the work. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
Before you drop the car off
Bring the claim number and your adjuster's details if the repair is a claim. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Photos of the damage taken at the scene help with the repair and the claim.
Aftercare
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.
What affects the price
The quote shows the price for your car and what it includes. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. Older paint or heavy wear can mean more preparation before the main work.
How long you are without it
Waiting on parts is the most common reason a repair takes longer. Small repairs can take hours; paint and collision work can take days.
Next step
Book the work with a short request, and add a rental if you need one.
