AAG Collision, Glass & Tint • September 22, 2025

Even the most careful drivers in Tucson know that car paint scratches are hard to avoid. Whether it’s from a runaway shopping cart, road debris, or a minor fender bender, scratches can take away from the look and value of your vehicle. At AAG Collision, Glass & Tint , we offer professional auto paint scratch repair in Tucson, AZ to restore your car’s finish and protect it from further damage. Here are a few common methods used to fix paint scratches.
Buffing & Polishing
For minor surface-level scratches that haven’t penetrated the clear coat, buffing and polishing may be enough to smooth out the damage. This process removes a thin layer of clear coat, blending the scratch with the surrounding paint.
Touch-Up Paint
When scratches cut deeper into the paint but don’t reach the bare metal, touch-up paint can provide a lasting solution. This method involves carefully applying matching paint to the damaged area, followed by a clear coat to seal and protect it.
Paint Blending & Refinishing
For more noticeable damage, refinishing may be necessary. Our technicians can blend fresh paint into the surrounding panels to ensure a seamless finish. This process is ideal for scratches that span larger areas or affect multiple layers of paint.
Can Deep Scratches Be Repaired?
Yes, but they require more extensive work. Deep scratches that reach the primer or bare metal often need sanding, filler, primer, and a complete repaint of the affected panel. Professional repairs are crucial in these cases to prevent rust and restore the integrity of your vehicle’s bodywork.
