Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about paint correction
How long does paint correction take?
Paint correction typically takes 1-3 days depending on paint condition, vehicle size, and correction level required. Single-stage correction takes 1 day, while multi-stage correction can take 2-3 days.
What's the difference between 1-step and multi-step paint correction?
1-step correction addresses light defects quickly with a single polishing stage, while multi-step correction involves multiple stages for severe damage, providing showroom-quality results but requiring more time.
How much does paint correction cost?
Paint correction costs typically range from $800-$2,500+ depending on vehicle size, paint condition, and correction stages required. Multi-stage correction costs more but provides superior results.
Should I get paint correction before ceramic coating?
Yes, paint correction is essential before ceramic coating to ensure the coating bonds to a perfect surface, maximizing protection and appearance. Ceramic coating will lock in any existing defects.
Will paint correction remove all scratches?
Paint correction can remove most light to moderate scratches and swirl marks. Deep scratches that penetrate through the clear coat may require touch-up paint or more extensive repair before correction.
