Paint & Refinishing in Quincy, MA
From a single-panel touch-up to a full respray, our paint booth and computerized color-matching system get your vehicle's finish back to looking factory-new.
Paint is the last thing anyone notices when it's done right, and the first thing they notice when it's not. Quincy Auto Body's paint work isn't an afterthought tacked onto a repair. Our booth and color-matching system are built to get a panel, a bumper, or an entire vehicle back to a finish that matches the surrounding paint exactly, not just approximately.
We mix paint to your vehicle's specific factory code using a computerized color-matching system, then blend the edges into adjoining panels so a repair doesn't stand out under different lighting. Whether it's a scratch repair, a full panel respray after collision work, or refinishing a faded hood, the process is the same: prep, prime, color coat, and clear coat, checked against factory tolerances at every stage.
Paint condition also says a lot about a vehicle's history: sun fading, clear coat peeling, or a mismatched repair from another shop are all things we see regularly and can correct.

Our Process
- 1
Free Inspection & Color Match
We inspect the area to be painted and pull your vehicle's factory paint code, verifying it against the actual panel since sun fading can shift the true color over time.
- 2
Surface Prep
Damaged or peeling paint is sanded back, dents and imperfections are filled, and the surface is masked and cleaned for painting.
- 3
Primer & Color Coat
Primer is applied and cured, followed by the color-matched base coat applied in our dedicated paint booth.
- 4
Blending & Clear Coat
Edges are blended into adjoining panels so the repair doesn't show a hard line, then a clear coat is applied for gloss and protection.
- 5
Cure & Final Inspection
The finish cures fully before we buff and inspect it under multiple lighting conditions to confirm the color match before you pick up the vehicle.
Seasonal Considerations in Massachusetts
Winter
Cold temperatures affect paint cure times, so winter paint jobs sometimes take a bit longer in the booth to cure properly before reassembly.
Spring
Spring is a popular time for touch-up and spot repair work, as winter road salt and grit reveal chips and scratches that went unnoticed.
Summer
Warm weather is ideal for full-vehicle resprays and larger refinishing jobs, since paint cures faster and more predictably.
Fall
We recommend addressing any chipped or bare-metal spots before winter, since exposed metal rusts quickly once road salt returns.
FAQs About Paint & Refinishing
Will the new paint match the rest of my car exactly?
That's the goal on every job. We use computerized color-matching to mix your factory paint code and blend the edges into surrounding panels so the repair doesn't stand out, even in direct sunlight.
Do you repaint just one panel, or does it have to be the whole car?
Most jobs are spot or panel repairs. We only paint what needs it. Full resprays are available for vehicles with widespread fading or damage, but they're not required for a single scratched or dented panel.
How long does paint and refinishing take?
A single panel or spot repair typically takes 1-3 business days. Full-vehicle resprays take longer, usually 1-2 weeks depending on the vehicle and prep work required.
Is paint work covered by insurance?
If the paint damage is tied to a collision or covered incident, yes, we include refinishing in the same estimate as the repair. Cosmetic-only paint work like sun fading is typically out-of-pocket.
Can you fix paint that was mismatched by another shop?
Yes, this is a common request. We re-pull your factory color code and re-blend the repair into the surrounding panels to correct a mismatch.
