Paint Scratch Repair

Scratches on your car’s paint don’t just affect its appearance—they can lead to rust, corrosion, and further damage if left untreated. Whether you have light surface scratches, deep gouges, or swirl marks, our expert paint scratch repair services at Better Collision will restore your vehicle’s finish to its original factory condition.

Our state-of-the-art paint correction and refinishing techniques ensure that your vehicle looks brand new, with no signs of previous damage.



Types of Paint Scratches We Repair



✔ Clear Coat Scratches – Light scratches that affect the topmost protective layer of paint.
✔ Paint Layer Scratches – Deeper scratches that penetrate the color coat but don’t reach the metal.
✔ Deep Scratches & Gouges – Severe damage that exposes bare metal, requiring sanding, priming, and repainting.
✔ Swirl Marks & Light Abrasions – Circular scratches caused by improper washing or automatic car washes.
✔ Key Scratches & Vandalism Damage – Long, deep scratches that require paint blending and refinishing.



Our Paint Scratch Repair Process



At Better Collision, we follow a multi-step repair process to ensure the best results:



1. Inspection & Free Estimate


  • We assess the depth and severity of the scratch to determine the best repair method.

  • If the scratch is light, we may be able to remove it with buffing and polishing.

  • For deeper scratches, we recommend paint touch-ups, wet sanding, or full refinishing.



2. Surface Preparation & Sanding

  • We clean and decontaminate the affected area to remove dirt, debris, and oxidation.

  • Using precision sanding tools, we smooth out the damaged surface while preserving the surrounding paint.



3. Color Matching & Paint Application

  • Our computerized color-matching system ensures a perfect match with your factory paint.

  • We apply high-quality automotive paint in multiple layers for even coverage and a seamless finish.

  • Blending techniques ensure that the repaired area blends flawlessly with the rest of the vehicle.



4. Clear Coat Application & UV Protection

  • A clear coat finish is applied to seal and protect the paint from UV rays, oxidation, and fading.

  • We use high-gloss, durable coatings that provide long-lasting shine and protection.


5. Buffing, Polishing & Final Inspection

  • We use professional buffing and polishing techniques to eliminate any imperfections.

  • Our expert technicians perform a final quality check to ensure a perfect, factory-like finish.
