3 Steps to Prep for Paint Repair and Touchup Service
1) Give the vehicle a basic rinse if it’s dusty
You don’t need a full wash before you show up, but a quick rinse helps remove the big loose stuff. East Texas dust builds up fast, and knocking that off makes the inspection easier. We’ll still prep and clean the area ourselves, but this small step helps us see the chips more clearly right away.
2) Point out the trouble spots you want handled
Walk around the vehicle and make mental notes of the areas that bug you the most. Maybe it’s the front bumper, maybe it’s the hood, maybe it’s the lower rocker panels. We want to make sure we focus on the spots that matter to you, and calling those out helps us set priorities.
3) Avoid applying wax or detail sprays before your appointment
We need the paint surface clean, bare, and free of slick products so the touchup can bond properly. Wax, sealants, and spray detailers can create a barrier that keeps the material from adhering the way it should. Just skip the shine products for a few days before you come in, and we’ll handle the rest.
3 Reasons to Trust TX Autoworks with Touchups
1) We’ve been doing this since 2010
This isn’t a hobby or a side gig. We’ve spent years working on real vehicles in real Texas conditions, and we’ve seen every kind of rock chip, road rash, and paint flaw East Texas roads can throw at a car. That experience gives us the confidence, the process, and the hands to make small damage look way cleaner.
2) We color match with accuracy, not guesswork
A touchup is only as good as the blend, so we slow down and match your paint correctly. We clean, prep, and apply with care, so the repaired spots sit naturally on the panel. It makes the whole vehicle look sharper, and it helps preserve the pride you feel sitting down in your ride.
3) We communicate clearly and focus on service
You’ll always know what we’re doing, what’s possible, and what the results will look like before anything starts. We don’t rush people through, and we don’t overpromise. We treat your vehicle with the same respect we treat our own, and we make the entire experience easy, honest, and stress free.
Top 5 Paint Repair and Touchup FAQs
1) How noticeable will the repair be once you fix the chips?
Our goal is always to make the repair blend as clean as possible. We color match carefully, clean the area, and apply product with precision, so the touchup doesn’t stand out. You’ll still see improvement up close because the chip is filled instead of exposed, but the overall look of the panel will be way cleaner.
2) Does this fix deep gouges or scratched panels?
Paint chip repair and touchup is perfect for small hits from gravel, minor road rash, and tiny spots where paint has been knocked away. Deep gouges and large scratches need a different type of repair. We’ll always take a look first so we can point you in the right direction.
3) How long does the repair take?
Chip repair and touchup is usually quick. It’s a smaller service, and most of the time we can handle it during a standard appointment. We’ll tell you the timeline up front, so you know exactly how long you’ll be here.
4) Is this a good option before ceramic coating?
Yes. Coating will amplify whatever the paint looks like under it, and open chips stand out even more when they’re coated over. Taking care of these small spots first gives the surface a cleaner look and a better final result.
5) Will the touchup last?
When it’s applied correctly and the surface is clean and prepared, touchup holds up well. It’s not the same as a full repaint, but it’s absolutely the right choice for fixing small paint damage. And once the color is back in those spots, the whole vehicle looks more cared for and more finished.
