Is paint correction expensive?

It is priced for the labor it is: from $500 for a day of machine work on a small car, more for multi-stage corrections. Compared with a respray, which never matches, or with selling a swirled car at a discount, it is the cheaper option.

Where the money goes

Hours. A correction is a technician with a machine, working panel by panel under inspection lights, checking depth so the clear coat is never thinned past safe. There is no shortcut that is not a filler.

Compared with the alternatives

Our pricing

Elite Stage from $500. Two-Step and Three-Step quoted by size and condition after we measure the paint. Every package includes decontamination and a protection step.

Making it a one-time cost

A Ceramic Pro coating on top, from $499, hardens the surface against wash marring, and hand or touchless washing keeps it there. Correct once, protect, done.

People also ask

Related questions, answered.

How long do paint corrections take?
One day for a single-stage correction on a small car; two to three days for a multi-stage correction on a large or badly swirled one. The clock is set by the paint, not the calendar: every panel is worked under lights until the defects are gone. Full answer →
Are paint corrections worth it?
If the car is being coated or filmed, yes, always: protection over defects seals them in. If it is a keeper with swirled paint, yes: correction is the only way to get the gloss back. If it is sold next month, a maintenance detail is enough. Full answer →
How much do paint corrections typically cost?
Ours start at $500 for a single-stage Elite Stage correction. Two-Step and Three-Step corrections cost more because they are more days of work, and the number depends on vehicle size and how far gone the paint is. Full answer →
Is paint correction the same as polishing?
Polishing is one step of paint correction. Correction is the whole process: decontamination, measuring the paint, compounding to level defects, polishing to refine the finish, then protecting it. A polish alone hides more than it fixes. Full answer →

Correct, then protect

Fix the paint once — then keep it that way

Paint correction removes the defects; PPF or a ceramic coating keeps them from coming back. Most of our correction jobs leave the bay with one or the other on top.
