E36 & E46 Paint and Refinish
Paint and refinish for the E36 and E46 — single panels, scratches, clear coat failure and color matching to your car’s paint code.
From a single scratched panel to clear coat that has given up on the roof and hood, refinish work starts with your car’s paint code and the condition of the paint around it, so the repair matches what is next to it.
We look at the car and quote the panels it needs.
When it applies
- Peeling or cloudy clear coat
- Scratches through the paint
- A mismatched panel from an earlier repair
What the job covers
- Paint code and condition checked
- Panels prepared, painted and cleared
- Blending into neighboring panels where needed
What it costs
Every car is different at this age, so we price it once we have seen yours. Yes. You get a written estimate by email with a private link, and you approve it job by job — or decline what you don’t want. We won’t go over the estimate you approved by more than Colorado allows (10% or 25 dollars, whichever is less) without asking you first.
