Scratches and scuffs
Marks from car parks, trolleys and passing traffic. Depth decides whether the panel needs polishing or repainting.
Stone chips
Small craters on the bonnet, door edges and bumper that expose primer or metal.
Fading and lacquer peel
Clear coat that has turned cloudy, flaked or lifted, usually on roofs and bonnets.
Keyed paint
A deliberate line cut through the paint, often across several panels. Our keyed car repair guide explains the process.
Bird lime and tree sap etching
Droppings and sap left on the paint can eat into the lacquer and leave a dull, dimpled patch.
How we repair car paint
Prepare the damage
Prepare the damage
We clean the area, sand it back and prime any bare metal, treating surface rust first.
Mix from the paint code
Debeers paint is mixed to your car's code, then checked against the panel before it goes on.
Spray in the booth
The panel is sprayed in our spray booth so the finish lays flat.
Cure, blend and lacquer
Infrared curing sets the paint. We blend the colour into the surrounding panel and finish with clear lacquer.
Metallic and pearl paint
Paying yourself or going through insurance

How long does a car paint repair take?
Minor bodywork at the workshop is done within 24 hours. Larger repairs take longer, and your quote says how long yours will be.
Will the new paint match my car?
Yes in most cases. We mix from your paint code and blend into the surrounding panel. Heavily faded paint is the one to ask about, and we tell you upfront how close the match will be.
Can you repair peeling lacquer without respraying the panel?
Rarely. Once lacquer has lifted, the weak layer has to come off, so the panel is usually prepared, repainted and lacquered.
Is a car paint repair guaranteed?
Yes. Painted bodywork carries a 12-month guarantee, subject to aftercare.
Can I use my insurance for a paint repair?
If the damage is covered, you can ask your insurer to use us. Check your policy lets you choose your repairer, and check your excess before you decide. See all FAQs
