Can every scratch be polished out?

Only lacquer-depth scratches. If your fingernail catches in it, the scratch has gone into the colour and needs a paint repair.

Do you have to respray the whole panel?

No — that's the point of a SMART repair. We repair and blend just the damaged section, which keeps the cost and the time down.

Done properly, no. Every repair is finished by machine polishing so the texture and gloss match the rest of the panel.

Usually. Visible scratches get haggled down far more than the cost of putting them right.

Key scratches, gatepost scrapes and door-edge scuffs repaired on a single panel instead of respraying the whole car.

1Check the depthIf the scratch has only gone through the lacquer it can often be machine-polished out with no paint at all.
2Flat and fillDeeper scratches are flatted back, stopper-filled where needed and sanded level with the panel.
3Spot repairColour is mixed to your paint code and sprayed as a spot repair so it's contained to the damaged area.
4Blend and polishLacquer is blended out and machine-polished so the repair sits flush with the surrounding paint.

Real vehicles, before and after.
