scratch repairs to panels
Damaged paintwork on metal panels can do more than just look unsightly—it can leave your vehicle vulnerable to long-term damage. When a deep scratch exposes the bare metal beneath, it creates an ideal environment for rust to form. Even small areas of exposed metal can quickly start to corrode, which may spread and compromise the structural integrity of the panel over time. Addressing paintwork damage early is essential to protect your car and maintain its value.
