Restore Your Car’s Gloss. Remove Swirls. Protect Your Paint.
Looking for high-end paint correction near Gilroy, Morgan Hill, or Hollister? Whether your vehicle is brand new or years old, Blackout Window Tinting offers professional correction services that safely remove swirls, scratches, and oxidation — bringing back that showroom shine.
Since 1993, we’ve been trusted by car owners across the South Bay to deliver top-tier paint correction and auto detailing with unmatched precision.
Why Paint Correction Matters
Over time, your vehicle’s clear coat takes a beating — from improper washing, UV exposure, road grime, and hard water spots. This leads to:
✔️ Swirl marks & fine scratches
✔️ Paint oxidation or fading
✔️ Holograms or buffer trails from poor polishing
✔️ Dull, lifeless paint
Our multi-stage correction process fixes those defects without repainting — restoring clarity, depth, and reflectivity.
New Cars Need It Too
Many customers are surprised to learn that even brand-new cars need paint correction. Why?
- Dealerships use automated car washes that create swirl marks
- Paint can be contaminated during shipping
- Factory finishes often have minor defects from the start
We work on brand-new Teslas, BMWs, Porsches, and trucks every week — usually before a ceramic coating or PPF install.
Our 6-Step Paint Correction Process
Here’s how we bring your vehicle’s paint back to life:
- Decontamination Wash – Removes bugs, road tar, iron fallout, and residue
- LED Paint Inspection – We map out scratches, swirls, and haze
- Compounding – Heavy cut polish to remove up to 90% of surface defects
- Polishing – Brings out depth, gloss, and color richness
- Final Wipe Down – Leaves a bare, perfectly prepped finish
- Optional Protection – Ceramic coating or paint protection film (PPF) available to seal the work
🕒 Time: 8–18 hours depending on vehicle size and condition

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does paint correction cost?
It starts at $150 for light swirl removal and goes up to $2,000+ for full multi-stage correction with ceramic coating. We provide free quotes by text or email.
Will swirl marks come back?
Only if the car is washed improperly. Avoid automated washes and use proper hand-washing techniques. We also recommend ceramic coating or PPF to prevent future damage.
Do you offer ceramic coating too?
Yes — we offer single-year up to lifetime ceramic coating packages. Many customers bundle this with paint correction for best results.
Can you fix deep scratches?
If your scratch is through the clear coat, paint correction won’t fully remove it. But we’ll assess it during the inspection and let you know your options.
Do you do mobile paint correction?
No — due to the tools and lighting required, paint correction is only done in-shop.
