How can car paint be damaged?
Car paint can be damaged by a variety of things, including:
- Physical impact: This is the most common cause of car paint damage. Anything that hits your car hard enough can cause the paint to chip or scratch. This includes things like rocks, hail, other cars, and even shopping trolleys.
- Chemicals: Some chemicals can damage car paint, including petrol and brake fluid. If you get any of these substances on your car, it is important to wash it off immediately.
- UV rays: The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can break down the clear coat on your car, which can lead to fading and peeling paint. It is important to park your car in the shade whenever possible and to use a UV protectant sealant on the paint.
- Dirt and debris: If you don’t wash your car regularly, dirt and debris can build up on the paint and cause scratches and abrasions. It is important to wash your car at least once a month, and more often if you live in a dusty or dirty environment.
- Tree sap and bird droppings: Tree sap and bird droppings are acidic and can damage car paint if they are not removed promptly. If you see any of these substances on your car, wash it off immediately.
If you notice any damage to your car’s paint, it is important to have it repaired as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more difficult and expensive it will be to fix the damage.

Paint repair process
Paint repair processes vary depending on whether you have a scratch or a dent that we need to repair first. To learn about these processes please click here. Below is a general process we use when we come to handling mobile paint repair.
Step 1 – Assess and explain
When it comes to car paint repairs, first we will do an assessment what process we will go through on your particular repair. We will have a quick conversation with you to explain the process we intend to take.
Step 2 – Clean and prepare
We’ll then decontaminate the panel(s) and give them a good clean to prepare the surface. We’ll mask the area the avoid damaging panels that are nearby whilst we carry out the work. Then we carry out the essential preparation work.
Step 3 – Prime the area on the car
We’ll work to prime the area ready for the paint to be applied. This will help to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to. After priming the area, we apply heat lamps to cure the product.
Step 4 – Prepare the paint and apply a UV protection-lacquer
We need to mix the paint colour to match the paintwork of the car. We use the latest technology to match the paint so it will be indistinguishable from the rest of the car. Once applied and dried we carry out a further clean. We then undertake final checks before applying a top coat UV protection-lacquer. To set this we apply heat lamps and calculate the curing time according to the technical data sheets.
Step 5 – Polishing
For the best results we polish the area. Polishing will help to remove any imperfections in the paint and to restore the shine.

Reviews
Justine Cottrell2024-06-18Had 2 scratches on my car from someone keying it. Adam was amazing, he was in time, reasonably priced, polite and best of all he made my car look like new - fantastic work and I would recommend him. I will be using him again when I need to. Thank you 10/10.
Michael G2024-06-18Top job adam thanks, nice friendly man quite amazing how well a car can repaired on a driveway. Impressive
David Smith2024-06-15Adam carried out a paint work correction to both my car and my partners car. Adams work is first class, you would never know a paint repair had been carried out. The colour match and blending was perfect. We would highly recommend Rapid Paintwork to our family and friends should they require any car bodywork or paintwork repairs.
Laura Heard2024-06-09Adam did a great job repairing a dent and scratches on my car 👍🏻 would definitely use again and recommend.
Stephen Gunn2024-06-05Scuffed bumpers repaired to high standard, without fuss. Competitive price as well.
Nicolette Melliti2024-06-05Adam is a perfectionist as he came back to redo the work, he was not 100% happy with the first time around. Would definetily recommend Adam, as he did a great job on my car. Great communication from the start till the end of the process. Will use him again.
Glenn Gibson2024-05-31Excellent. The engineer was very polite and courteous. He arrived on time and finished earlier than anticipated. The job is great, the car looks just like it did before the scuffs.
Amber Baird2024-05-27Really efficient service with fair pricing, very happy with the finished results! Would recommend.
Dan Ashton2024-05-24Having checked out a few body shops beforehand I can’t recommend Adam strongly enough. He was great to deal with from the off, most of the communication is done via WhatsApp making it easy and his quote was far more sensible than others. He kept in contact and confirmed the appointment, then on the day he was perfect, a pleasure to deal with and the work is of the highest standard. 5* service and now my only place to go for any bodywork needed.
Antony Woodward2024-05-21Many thanks for today’s visit. You did an absolutely wonderful job which exceeded my expectations. It was a real pleasure to deal with you and made easy by your prompt and clear communication. Tony Woodward
