If you just paint the damaged area then the new paint colour will look different compared to the older paint on the original car panels. Some colours and paint types require larger amounts of blending to give the car a perfect factory finish. Without blending the repaired area will stick out like a new tile in the bathroom.","question":"What is paint blending and why is that important?"},{"answer":"As the name suggests a touch up is when the repairer literally touches up the damaged area only. Protective finishing clear coats are usually not applied either. With very small <a href=\"https://www.dinggo.co.nz/panel-beating-services/car-scratch-repair\">scratch repairs</a> this process is usually good enough. However, with the majority of car painting a touch-up job is not recommended as it will leave a dark noticeable mark over the damaged area that will likely fade in the harsh Australian sun within 6 to 12 months.","question":"What is a paint touch up and why is it much cheaper than Car Paint Repairs?"},{"answer":"<a href=\"https://www.dinggo.co.nz/panel-beating-services/smart-car-repairs\">Small to Medium Area Repair Technologies</a> are meant for damages that can be repaired efficiently without needing conventional panel beating methods.
