Paint & Body Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. Whether you have GEICO (headquartered right here in VA), State Farm, Progressive, or USAA, we handle the claims process from start to finish. We are familiar with Virginia insurance regulations and work directly with adjusters to ensure your vehicle is restored to pre-accident condition using high-quality parts.

Being in the Coastal Virginia area, humidity is a major factor. Our shop uses a climate-controlled downdraft paint booth that regulates temperature and moisture levels. This ensures that the paint cures perfectly without “blushing” or clouding, which can happen if a shop isn’t equipped for the Virginia climate.

Yes! For minor dings or small dents where the paint isn’t cracked, our Chesapeake PDR services are a fast and affordable way to fix your car without a full respray. This is a popular option for local drivers looking to maintain their car’s resale value after a storm or a mishap in a crowded parking lot.

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the company that built your car (e.g., Ford, Toyota). Aftermarket parts are made by a third party. While aftermarket parts can be cheaper, we prioritize OEM parts whenever possible to ensure a perfect fit and to maintain your vehicle’s safety ratings and resale value.

We can certainly paint individual panels! Through a process called “blending,” we apply the new paint to the repaired panel and gradually feather it into the adjacent original panels. This ensures that even if there is a slight variation in the paint’s age, the human eye won’t be able to see the transition.

We recommend waiting at least 30 days before using an automatic “brush” car wash. The new clear coat is still technically curing. If you must wash it, do a gentle hand wash with plenty of water and a soft microfiber mitt to prevent scratching the fresh finish.

Yes. We use advanced computerized color-matching technology to ensure a seamless match. Whether you drive a pearl-white SUV or a metallic-finish truck, our technicians blend the new paint into the existing panels so the repair is invisible under the bright Virginia sun.

No. In almost all states, it is your legal right to choose the repair facility you trust. Insurance companies often have “preferred shops,” but the final decision rests with the vehicle owner. We work with all major insurance providers to ensure your claim is handled correctly.

While photos are a great starting point for a “ballpark” figure, a professional estimate requires an in-person inspection. Damage is often hidden behind bumpers or under panels that we can’t see until we get a closer look. We provide detailed, written estimates to ensure there are no surprises later.

Every job is unique. A simple bumper repair might take 2–3 days, while major structural repair involving parts ordering can take one to two weeks. Once we disassemble the vehicle and see the full extent of the damage, we provide a projected “completion date” and keep you updated throughout the process.

Orange peel is a textured finish in the clear coat that looks like the skin of an orange. It’s common even on factory cars. We can fix or prevent this through a process of wet sanding and buffing, which levels the clear coat to a mirror-like, glass-smooth finish.
