Damage is sanded, primed, sprayed with HVLP equipment using paint mixed to your exact factory code, and blended with three-stage polish so the repair is invisible. ### Who it's for Drivers with stone chips on the bonnet edge, light scratches on door edges, paint marks from contact damage, edge wear on door shuts, and small visible damage on otherwise immaculate paintwork. ### When you need it As soon as you spot paint damage exposing primer or metal, chips and marks let moisture under the clearcoat and start corrosion within weeks in UK winters. Faster repair = cheaper repair = less risk. ### Why use a professional Touch-up sticks bridge the visual gap but never colour-match (they oxidise off-shade within months) and never seal properly against moisture. SMART touch-up actually restores the panel, same paint chemistry as the factory, same surface finish, indistinguishable result. ## Why Touch-Up Pens Almost Always Make It Worse The Halfords touch-up stick is one of the most-bought, most-regretted car accessories in the UK. Here's exactly why it disappoints, and why proper SMART touch-up is worth the modest extra spend. ### What happens if you leave it - • Touch-up stick paint dries 1–2 shades off and oxidises further over 60–90 days - • Pen application sits proud of the surrounding paint and casts a visible shadow - • Stone chips left untouched corrode through to rust spots within 6–12 months - • Corrosion bleed lifts surrounding paint and turns a £120 repair into a £400 panel respray - • Resale buyers spot touch-up pen jobs instantly and use them as a haggle lever ### Mistakes we see every week - • Multiple thick layers of touch-up paint (looks worse than the bare chip) - • Using a touch-up pen sold for 'Audi Brilliant Black' on a 5-year-old faded black panel - • Leaving the chip through a winter to 'deal with in spring', corrosion starts in November - • Polishing over a wet touch-up pen (smears the paint across the panel) - • Buying multiple pens trying to find a match instead of getting it sprayed properly ## Our SMART Paint Touch-Ups Process A repeatable system that removes guesswork and delivers a finish that looks factory, every single job. STEP 1 ### Quote from Photo Send a clear close-up photo. Fixed price back within the hour. Most touch-ups £120–£220. STEP 2 ### Mobile Arrival We arrive at your home or workplace with everything self-contained. No power, no water needed. STEP 3 ### Prep & Mask Damage sanded, feather-edged into the surrounding paint, any exposed metal sealed with etch primer. STEP 4 ### Spray & Blend HVLP-sprayed base coat plus 2K clearcoat, paint tinted to match your aged panel, not just the code. STEP 5 ### Cure & Polish Infrared cured for full hardness, then three-stage machine polished into the surrounding paint. Repair is invisible. ## What You Get With Hi-Tek ### Genuinely invisible result Spectrophotometer paint matching plus three-stage blend means even up close you can't find the repair. ### Same paint as your factory 2K urethane chemistry identical to OEM paint shops, full UV, chemical and weather resistance. ### From £120 per touch-up Small chips and marks from £120. Multi-chip discount for full bonnet stone-chip work. ### Done in 2–3 hours Most single touch-ups complete in a single morning or afternoon on your driveway. ### Stops corrosion permanently Proper etch primer plus 2K topcoat seals the metal against moisture, no rust ever bleeds through. ### Lifetime workmanship guarantee If the repair fails through workmanship, we return and put it right at no cost. ## What SMART Touch-Up Actually Involves SMART touch-up is a specific technique, not a brand or a shortcut. Here's the detail of what we do that an over-the-counter kit cannot. ### Materials Etch primer on bare metal, plastic-flex primer on bumpers, manufacturer-matched water- or solvent-based base coats mixed wet on the day from an 80-toner tinter system, and 2K urethane clearcoat, all infrared-cured, never air-dried. ### Repair methods Single-spot SMART for individual chips, multi-spot blended SMART for bonnet stone-chip clusters, edge-of-panel repair for door-edge wear, and wet-on-wet panel-edge blending for repairs near body lines. ### Variations of the service Stone chips on bonnets and bumpers, door-edge wear, sill chips, mirror cap damage, key-corner scratches, paint marks from contact damage, and edge-of-bonnet stone strike clusters. ### Situations it applies to Motorway stone-chip damage, narrow lane hedge contact, door-edge wear from being parked next to walls, bumper edge damage from low kerbs, and any cosmetic paint mark too small for a full-panel respray quote. ### Where SMART touch-up ends If the damage covers more than ~30% of a panel, has a structural dent under it, or is part of accident damage with bent metal, a SMART touch-up is the wrong tool, a full SMART panel repair or bodyshop job applies. We'll tell you straight. ## SMART Paint Touch-Ups, Frequently Asked Questions How much does a SMART touch-up cost?+ Single chip from £120. Multi-chip bonnet work £180–£280. Edge wear or door-shut repair from £140. Fixed price quoted from photos. How is this different from a touch-up pen?+ Touch-up pens are dabbed paint that doesn't match and doesn't bond properly.
