Maintain original factory paint with a SMART Repair

Unsurprisingly the most common cars Revive! repair are your everyday commuter cars, BMWs, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagens and Fords. These are the most common cars on UK roads so it’s understandable they would be involved in more incidents. But this doesn’t mean they are the only cars that Revive! are brought into repair.

Just because a car is more valuable, more prestigious or rarer doesn’t make the driver more immune to mistakes, accidents or other drivers. High-performance, classics and high-value cars are no stranger to receiving bumper scuffs, scratches, stone chips and dents. They are as prone as any other cars to damage, perhaps more so due to the attention they draw as they pass by.

To maintain the high value of these cars, it helps to retain as much of their originality as possible, collectors and car enthusiasts alike prefer a car that remains the same as it was when it left the factory. While damage itself will reduce the value of a vehicle, if owners opt for a body shop repair for their specialist vehicle, they will not only find a dramatically overpriced bill, but also to complete the repair, the body shop has removed the damaged panel from the car completely then refinished and resprayed the entirety of the panel leaving none of the original factory paint. Not only does this affect the overall vehicle value but could also lead to improper panel gaps outside of the manufacturer’s original specifications.

Where a Revive! SMART repair differs is we try to retain as much of the original factory paint as possible, only sanding and repairing the damaged area minimising the effect on the rest of the panel. As previously stated, any damage will cause a reduction in value on the vehicle, but using a SMART repair will retain as much originality of the paint as possible, minimising the impact on the value of the vehicle.
