There’s a lot happening behind the scenes when a vehicle is painted after a collision.

Before the paint goes on, the repaired surface needs to be carefully prepared. The color must be matched to the vehicle’s existing finish, and the paint needs to be applied in a clean, controlled environment to help prevent imperfections.

At Purnell Body Shop, we use a high-quality refinishing process designed to produce lasting results ✨

Not every dent requires a full paint repair! 🚗
Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) can be a great solution for certain dings and dents. Our experienced technicians can assess the damage and determine if PDR is the right option for your vehicle.
