At Smart World Exeter, we take pride in restoring vehicles to their former glory, no matter the damage. Recently, we had a Mercedes Vito van come into our workshop after being keyed along its side, leaving unsightly scratches that ruined the vehicle’s appearance.
The Challenge
Key scratches can be deep and often penetrate the clear coat and paint layer, making them highly visible and impossible to buff out. In this case, the Vito required a full respray on the affected panels to achieve a seamless finish.
Our Process
- Surface Preparation – We started by preparing all the damaged areas to smooth out the scratches and ensure a flawless base.
- Colour Matching – Using advanced paint-matching technology, we precisely matched the original Mercedes colour to guarantee a factory-quality result.
- Respray & Finishing – We then expertly resprayed the van and finished it with a high-gloss clear coat for durability and protection.
The Result
The Mercedes Vito left our workshop looking brand new, with no trace of the previous damage. The owner was thrilled with the result, and their van was back on the road looking immaculate.
