Information

What do I do about dull or chipped paint on my vehicle?

Paint makes a difference! According to Kelley Blue Book, a car increases in value if the paint is in good condition. Yet, small chips and scratches are common and start occurring just as soon as a new car is off the showroom floor, but you can do something about them.

The most common damage to vehicles occurs when rocks and gravel is tossed into the air by other vehicles. This type of damage is called ?road rash.? Other scrapes and scratches occur from a variety of sources, from car doors in parking lots to highway accidents.

What about rust?

Chipped paint exposes raw metal, leaving it vulnerable to rust. This might be the most important reason to repair chipped paint; even if you don't plan to sell the car, you want it to remain structurally sound. Rust prevention treatment can be an important part of any maintence regimen.

What are my options?

The vehicle can either be taken to a local auto paint shop, or an owner may be able to repair the damage, particular if the damage is small. There are automotive websites that advertise auto paint services, while others sell painting kits and supplies online. There are some free instructions online, and some how-to books can also be purchased online.
