Every single line and curve you see on a Maserati is carefully designed to make the car beautiful and give it great aerodynamics. If your car gets scratched while trying to park in a tight parking spot, or you get involved in an accident, the body and paintwork of your Maseratti will be affected and the vehicle’s luxurious look will diminish. To restore the sculpted lines and flawless finishes of this exotic car, you need skills, expertise, the appropriate tools, and most importantly, a professional who knows how this iconic Italian brand was crafted.
Why Does Your Maserati Need Special Attention?
Maserati automobiles come with curved bodywork and sleek designs, and they have a high-gloss finish that makes them look good. Due to the complexity of the design, repairs should only be done by specialists who will take a lot of time to work on the vehicle. Maseratis are commonly built with aluminum bodywork, carbon fiber trims, and high-quality paint. These surfaces need extra attention when it comes to repairing or repainting. Poor repair or cheap paint will not give the look your vehicle had before it left the showroom.
Common Body And Paint Problems Maserati Owners Face
- Dents and Dings: A dent often occurs when parking in a garage or parking lot or when your luxury car gets hit by an object that falls off another vehicle. Dents are of different sizes and even minor ones are capable of affecting the reflection on the surface of the car when the sun is shining.
- Scratches and Paint Chips: Small imperfections caused by small flying rock chips or even washing the car improperly also contribute to the degradation of the car’s surface. If left unaddressed, they can result in more dangerous conditions such as exposure of metal and consequently rusting or paint chalking.
- Collision Damage: Low impact accidents, minor scrapes or even major accidents can twist the panels and distort the body of your Maserati. These problems are challenging to address because everything has to be fine-tuned and aligned in order to fit perfectly once more.
- Paint Fading or Oxidation: The Texas sun can be very ruthless on the paint of a Maserati. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can cause the clear coat of the car to fade or appear hazy.
How These Problems Are Repaired
- Paintless Dent Repair (PDR): PDR is useful when the dent has not chipped the paint layer on your car’s surface. This approach involves applying pressure from the back of the dent without compromising the outer coat of paint. It is ideal for small dents on the doors, hoods or fenders.
- Panel Straightening and Replacement: In cases where the dent is enormous or the panel is bent, the technicians will have to bend the metal to the required curve. If the damages are extensive, then the panel may have to be replaced with new parts that are of factory standard to maintain that factory look and quality.
- Color Matching: If your Maserati’s paint is damaged or chipped, you have to paint that part carefully and ensure that the new paint matches the existing color. This process is called color matching and is done with the help of modern color-matching tools.
- Clear Coat Application: A glossy layer is applied to the surface of the car after painting to enhance its shine. It is then polished and waxed so that it has the deep sheen that is associated with Maseratis.
- Final Inspection: After the body work is complete, the car and all its external components are inspected to ascertain that the lines, gaps and surfaces are aligned.
