Spot Repair Systems

Spot repair systems are designed to repair small damaged areas without the need to clear coat an entire panel. The use of these kits is limited to small scratches, chips and other paint defects (approximately 1 1/2 inches in diameter) on vertical body panels. At the heart of the system are specially designed mini spray guns and a unique spot blender. The key component to the spot repair process is the spot blender, which allows very smooth edge transitions in the refinished area. When properly applied, spot repairs are usually covered by the paint manufacturer’s lifetime warranty.
