FROM THE SHOP ARCHIVE / REFINISHING PREPARATION AT HEWLETT AUTO BODY
Refinishing may be part of a collision repair or needed for a damaged panel. The repair plan considers the condition of the surface, the existing finish, and the areas that may need blending.
Call (516) 374-7060 to discuss your vehicle and arrange an estimate. The shop will confirm availability, scope, and whether any part of the work is coordinated with a specialist.
• Inspect the finish and identify damage or previous repairs.
• Discuss repair areas and the proposed refinishing approach.
• Prepare surfaces, match color, and apply the selected refinishing system.
• Review the finish and obtain care instructions for the products used.
Will only the damaged area be painted?
The appropriate area depends on the damage, color, finish, and repair method. Blending adjacent areas may be part of the proposed plan.
When can I wash or wax the vehicle?
Ask the shop for instructions specific to the refinishing products and work performed. Avoid assuming one curing schedule applies to every repair.
Can you quote from a photo?
Photos help show the general area. Surface condition and repair scope may still require an in-person inspection.
