Paint is the part of a repair everyone sees. At Conn's Collision in Winchester, Indiana, our auto paint shop's paint repair and auto paint refinishing work uses premium PPG automotive paint, computerized color matching, and careful blending so the repaired area disappears into the rest of the vehicle. Every refinish we complete is covered by PPG's Lifetime Limited Paint Performance Guarantee for as long as you own the car.

Refinishing done the right way

Color matching, not color guessing

Your vehicle's factory paint code is only a starting point. Sun exposure, age, and even the plant where the car was built shift the actual color on the panel. We read the code, then spray test cards and compare them against your vehicle under proper lighting before committing to a formula.

Blending into adjacent panels

A freshly painted door next to an original fender will show, even with a perfect formula. Where the repair calls for it, we blend the new color into neighboring panels so there is no visible edge between old and new paint.

Base coat, clear coat, and cure

Refinishing is a layered process: primer and sealer over the prepared surface, base color for the shade, and clear coat for gloss and UV protection. Each layer is applied in a controlled environment and properly cured before the vehicle is reassembled.

From single panels to full repaints

Most of our car painting work is tied to collision repair, but as a full paint and body shop we also handle:

Single-panel refinishing after a dent or minor damage repair
Full vehicle repaints for faded, peeling, or sun-damaged finishes
Clear coat failure on hoods, roofs, and trunk lids, common on vehicles that have spent years outdoors in Indiana summers
Color changes for owners who want a new look

Why PPG matters

PPG is one of the world's largest automotive coatings manufacturers and supplies factory paint to major automakers. Using their refinish systems means the materials on your car match what it left the assembly line with, and it is why PPG stands behind our work with a nationwide lifetime guarantee against peeling, cracking, and loss of gloss.

Paint repair questions

Can you match a metallic or pearl finish?

Yes. Metallic and tri-coat pearl finishes take more test sprays and careful blending, but they are routine work for our technicians.

How long does paint need before I can wash the car?

Wait about 30 days before waxing or using an automatic car wash. Hand washing with mild soap is fine after the first week.

Do you serve drivers outside Winchester?

Yes. Drivers looking for a car paint shop in Union City, Farmland, Parker City, Lynn, Portland, and Muncie regularly bring their vehicles to us.
