- Paint correction safely improves defects within the clear coat but cannot repair defects that penetrate too deeply into or through the clear coat. Results depend on paint condition, paint thickness, previous repairs and defect severity. NOVA prioritizes preservation of clear-coat integrity over aggressive defect removal. Final recommendations and pricing are confirmed following vehicle assessment.
