Paint Correction
Professional Automotive Paint Correction
Over time, improper washing, weather exposure, oxidation, and everyday use can leave your vehicle’s paint looking dull or covered in visible swirl marks. Paint correction improves the finish by carefully removing a very thin layer of damaged clear coat and refining the surface underneath.
Lakewood Collision LLC offers paint correction services for vehicles with light scratches, haze, water spots, oxidation, and other clear-coat imperfections.
Before starting, we inspect the condition and thickness of the paint to determine what level of correction is appropriate.

Paint protection recommendations
Paint correction is intended for defects within the clear coat. Deep scratches that have passed through the paint layers may require sanding, touch-up work, or panel refinishing.
