Don’t Let a Scratch Turn into a Costly Repair

July 8, 2025

Why Paint Damage Needs Immediate Attention

At Erin Panel Works, we often see vehicles come in with small scratches or paint chips — damage that might seem minor at first but can lead to serious and expensive issues down the track if left untreated.

While it may look like a simple cosmetic flaw, any damage to your vehicle’s paintwork leaves it vulnerable to rust (especially living here on the Central Coast), which can silently spread and compromise the integrity of your car.

Small Damage Can Lead to Big Problems

If you operate a business in NSW and use a vehicle in the course of running your operations, here’s what you need to know:

  • When the paint is scratched or chipped, it exposes the bare metal underneath to moisture, dirt, and salt in the Coastal air, accelerating the formation of rust. Once rust sets in, it can spread under the surface, weakening panels and causing permanent structural damage that requires far more extensive repairs.

Trust the Professionals in Paint & Repairs

Repairing automotive paint isn’t just about covering up marks — it requires skilled craftsmanship, advanced materials, and proper preparation. That’s where we come in.

We’re proud to not only care for your vehicle — but also for the environment. That’s why we use the latest water-based paint technology, which is both high-performance and environmentally responsible.
