Car Painting and Refinishing Services
Collision and Panel Refinishing
We refinish repaired or replaced bumpers, doors, fenders, hoods and other collision-damaged panels to restore a consistent appearance.
Full-Vehicle Repainting
Complete repainting is available for widespread fading, oxidation, paint failure, restoration projects and approved color changes.
Color Matching and Paint Blending
We use computerized color resources and evaluate the existing finish for production variants, age and environmental exposure. When necessary, adjacent areas are blended for a consistent transition.
Clear-Coat Refinishing
Peeling clear coat cannot be restored through polishing. The failed coating must be properly prepared and refinished. Learn why automotive clear coat peels and when panel refinishing is necessary.
Custom Paint Options
Custom colors and specialty finishes may be available after evaluating the vehicle’s existing paint and your requested result.
Our Automotive Painting Process
- Inspection: We examine the existing finish, damaged panels and previous repairs to determine the appropriate refinishing scope.
- Surface preparation: The affected area is cleaned, sanded and prepared. Damaged or unstable coatings are removed where necessary.
- Primer and sealer: Appropriate refinishing materials are applied to create a uniform foundation and promote coating adhesion.
- Color application: The selected basecoat is applied in a controlled refinishing environment according to the paint system and panel requirements.
- Clear coat: A compatible clear coat is applied to provide gloss and environmental protection.
- Quality inspection: The completed finish is checked for color consistency, texture, gloss and visible defects before the vehicle is returned.
Does Your Vehicle Need Painting or Scratch Repair?
Not every surface mark requires panel painting. Paint transfer, light scuffs and scratches confined to an intact clear coat may be suitable for professional correction.
Damage that penetrates the color layer, exposes primer or affects a substantial portion of a panel usually requires paint restoration.
For key marks, parking-lot scuffs, paint transfer or localized damage, visit our car scratch repair service in Huntington Beach.
Panel Painting or a Complete Repaint?
Individual-panel painting is generally appropriate when damage is limited to a repaired, replaced or deteriorated panel.
Complete repainting may be considered when clear-coat failure, fading or mismatched paint affects multiple areas.
Our team inspects the existing finish before recommending either option.
The goal is to correct the affected paint without proposing unnecessary work.
Car Painting Cost and Repair Options
Painting cost depends on the number of affected panels, surface preparation, vehicle size, paint system, color complexity and required blending.
Underlying body damage or failed previous paintwork can also increase the refinishing scope.

They are incredible! Our car had been hit and we were flustered. They walked us through the process and helped us with the insurance as well as a car rental. Not just that, they went above and beyond to make sure to find a rental that fit our family(family of 6). The communication was great every step of the way. They got the work done in a timely manner and they were quick to get our vehicle back to us. Of course the most important part is that they did an incredible job, our car looks as good as new. Huge shout out to Fernando who was our point of contact and Jessica who kept us updated!

I brought my truck in with a peeling roof, and Eric and the team did an outstanding job repairing it and perfectly matching the paint color. They went above and beyond by polishing and detailing the entire truck, making it look like it had just come off the showroom floor. Their pricing was very competitive, and they stand behind their work with a guarantee. Overall, this is a fantastic shop with exceptional customer service and quality workmanship. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch auto body repair.

Incredible service, extremely honest employees, and exceptional work. Everyone here is very friendly and will not try to upsell you or charge you for more than what is necessary. Highly recommend Pablo, Jessica, and the entire staff! Coming here for all of my auto body needs from now on.

The customer service and attentiveness provided by Pablo and the team were outstanding. You feel like a celebrity walking through the door. They are kind and welcoming. They will assess your vehicle, coordinate with the insurance company and get you on your way quickly. If you need a rental, they have a partnership with a rental company (Midway) that has very reasonable daily & weekly rates (if your insurance company doesn't cover rentals). They will connect you to the rental company and the vehicle is waiting for you on-site. They provide updates while your vehicle is getting its glow-up, work well with the insurance adjusters if anything needs to be added and will return your car as good as new! Very grateful.

These guys are awesome. I showed up with some scratches on my truck and they came out and fixed it right away. What took me hours he did in minutes. I will absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone. I have one more deep scratch to get taken care of and can't wait to work with them again.

I had a great experience with ER Collision and Autobody Shop in Huntington Beach. From the moment I walked in, everyone was professional, honest, and genuinely helpful. I needed a quote for some paint damage, and Pablo Lopez was able to help me the very same day. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and never made me feel pressured. I really appreciated his honesty and transparency throughout the process. I also want to recognize Fernando and Jessica for providing outstanding customer service. They were friendly, welcoming, and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. It's hard to find an auto body shop you can truly trust, but ER Collision and Autobody Shop earned my confidence. Because of their honesty, transparency, and excellent customer service, I'll definitely be coming back for any future auto body needs. I won't hesitate to recommend them to my friends and family.

We had previously been to ER Collision and Autobody and we are a repeat customer. They do a fantastic job with every detail. I had my car valdelized and Eric did a great inspection and met with our insurance adjuster. Everything Eric recommended was approved for repairs. The staff and everyone we came in contact were very helpful and sent updates on the entire process. My car looks brand new again Thanks to ER Collision!

Visited for two times on past years for two unfortunate not-at-fault collisions. While it was slightly longer repair process than expected, but they did amazing job to match paint finish electrical work on my G70. Will come back again whenever I need repair on my vehicle. Staffs have amazing communication while insurance was giving us a hassle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does car painting cost in Huntington Beach?
Cost depends on the number of panels, existing paint condition, preparation requirements, vehicle size, paint system and blending needs. We provide an inspection-based estimate before work begins.
Review our car painting cost guide for additional details.
Can you match my vehicle’s original paint color?
Yes. We use the vehicle’s paint information and computerized color resources, then evaluate its current finish for color variants, aging and environmental exposure.
Does my entire vehicle need to be repainted?
Not necessarily. When damage is confined to one area, panel refinishing may be sufficient. Complete repainting is generally considered for widespread deterioration, restoration projects or a color change.
Can peeling clear coat be polished?
No. Polishing cannot restore clear coat that is separating from the color layer. The unstable coating normally must be removed before the panel is properly refinished.
Does insurance cover automotive paint repair?
Insurance may cover refinishing related to a covered accident, vandalism or another qualifying loss. Coverage depends on the policy, deductible and insurance carrier’s determination.
How long does automotive painting take?
Timing depends on the number of affected panels, surface preparation, underlying body repairs and curing requirements. We provide an estimated completion date after inspecting the vehicle.
