FREQUENTLY ASKED PAINT TOUCH-UP QUESTIONS:

What will my car look like after it’s been touched-up?  The saying “you can’t see the forest thru the tress” really applies here. If you look at just about any area that has been touched-up from a couple of inches away you will see where the touch-up work has been applied. However, that is not how most people look at cars. If by stepping back a few feet and walking around the vehicle (assuming you had a number of areas repaired), you would be truly amazed at how much newer you car looks now that those unsightly marks are gone. As owner of The New Look, I will always tell you in advance what you car will look like upon completion and I guarantee every job I do.

 

How long will my paint touch up last? 
I guarantee my work for two years and it will probably last much longer.  

 

I’m selling my car do I need to bother with having any paintwork done?
It’s a very good idea. Think about it this way—how do used car lots make such a huge profit on old vehicles? Used car lots pay companies to take out dents, do paint work, repair windshields, fix upholstery, and do complete auto detailing to make their vehicles look their best. They know for the small investment they make up front, they will get their money back and more in sales. In many cases they will get a 10 to 1 return on their money.

Can I touch up my own paint? Yes, if you only have a couple of chips, doing it yourself is the way to go. I recommend everyone have a small bottle of touch-up paint for his or her vehicle. You can get the exact paint color for your car at auto parts stores, your dealers service center or online.

If I can touch up my own car, why would I need the New Look’s paint touch-up service? Mainly for vehicles that have multiple chips and scratches, really difficult colors to work with or hard to repair damaged areas such as key scratches. Paint touch-up is a skill like anything else. Just because you have a scalpel doesn’t make you a surgeon. Paint needs to be applied differently according to the damaged area. Sometimes an airbrush works best, at other times a squeegee is requires and sometimes a fine art brush is needed. Paint will also need to be thickened or thinned, lightened or darkened according to the damage and location. Lighter scratches and scuffs may not need to be touched-up at all but rather buffed out using a high-speed buffer. Knowing what will and will not buff out and how to do so is just as important as the paintwork itself. The difference between having a professional do the job verses a do-it-yourself job in many cases will look like night and day. 

 

Does the color of my vehicle matter?  With touch-up jobs, color makes a huge difference. The best colors to work with are dark rich colors such as dark green, dark maroon, dark blue, dark brown and reds. The next best colors to work with are non-metallic white and black. The hardest colors to work with are light, high metallic colors such as silver, pearls, light gold, and pewter.
