WHAT IS SMART REPAIR?
Small to Medium Area Repair Technique
SMART stands for Small to Medium Area Repair Technique. Instead of painting a whole door or bumper, we repair only the damaged patch and blend the new paint into the original around it.
Because less area is painted, the job uses fewer materials, takes less time and keeps more of your car’s factory paint untouched.
It’s ideal for scuffed bumper corners, small scratches, minor dents and stone-chip areas.
SMART OR FULL PANEL?
Which repair does your car need?
SMART repair suits
✓Scuffed bumper corners
✓Scratches confined to a small area
✓Small dents with the paint intact or lightly cracked
✓Stone-chip patches on a bonnet edge
A full panel is better for
✕Damage across most of a panel
✕Several dents or scratches on one panel
✕Peeling or failing paint over a large area
✕Where a blend would show on some colours

How big can a SMART repair be?
There’s no set size. Every vehicle is different, so we judge each one by eye: it depends on where the damage is, for example near a swage line, and how big the blend-in area needs to be. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly whether a SMART repair will work or the panel needs painting in full.
Is it as good as a full respray?
For the right damage, yes. It’s colour-matched, lacquered and covered by our lifetime paint warranty.
How do I know which I need?
Send us photos. We’ll tell you straight whether SMART or a full panel is the right repair.
Does SMART work on metallic and pearl paints?
Yes. We do all colours, including metallics and pearls. Some colours need a slightly larger blend area to match perfectly.
