Scratch Repair & Color Matching
Not every scratch warrants a full car repaint, sometimes just a minor repair. Most of the time the car scratch has only damaged a smaller area, and only one panel will need to be painted. As a leading ICBC auto body shop group, QA Collision can address specific damaged panels, ensuring cost-effectiveness.
At our car paint shops, we use advanced color-matching technology to guarantee that any fresh paint blends seamlessly with your car's original shade. We meticulously treat damaged areas, using chemical cleaning and block sanded, to achieve a pristine end result.
Undercoat/Basecoat/Clearcoat Application
When it comes to giving your vehicle a fresh look, understanding the painting process can be invaluable.
- Initial assessment and quote.
- Pre-painting preparation.
- Apply Undercoat (Primer) – This acts as a primer or sealer. Its main roles are to shield the car from erosion and rust and to ensure the basecoat adheres.
- Apply Basecoat (Color) – This is where the color comes in. It's applied in thin, even layers to achieve the desired shade.
- Apply Clearcoat (Top Coat) – The final layer, which is see-through. It provides protection to the paint and gives the vehicle its glossy finish.
- Final inspection to ensure the paint job meets our quality standards.

PRE-PAINTING PREPARATION
The key to a perfect vehicle paint job is thorough preparation. The care and precision put into getting the vehicle ready for painting are the foundation of a quality paint finish.
- We fix damaged car panels by repairing, filling, and sanding them to get a smooth finish.
- We make sure the surface is set for painting and has no marks, dents, or tiny imperfections.
- Before painting, the car undergoes one last sanding using fine-grit sandpaper.
- It's then thoroughly washed to remove any residue, ensuring the workspace is spotless and free from dust.
- We prepare the car by removing items like moldings, decals, trim, and handles.
- Areas not meant for painting are covered to shield them from any paint spray.
ECO-FRIENDLY PAINTS
We use high-quality PPG Envirobase High-Performance undercoat, basecoat, and clearcoat products, which are among North America’s leading eco-friendly water-based paint products.
Benefits of PPG paint products include:
- Precise color-matching capabilities
