Unsurprisingly, blue is the most popular car colour in the South West. More interestingly, did you know that the colour of your car can determine how likely it is to need car paintwork repair?
Our team recently commissioned a survey by YouGov to collect data on the state of the nation’s car paint, and it highlighted that UK cars are in poor condition.
Does the colour of your car impact how likely it is to have scuffs and scrapes?

How often do UK car owners touch-up their car paint?
16% of car owners who have not done any small car paint repairs in the last 12 months (even though their car needs small paint repairs) said that they don’t know how to repair small paint work damages themselves.
The reason why no one repairs their car paintwork
Our MD Paul O’Reilly looked to YouGov for insight, wanting to know why people in the UK are hesitant to repair their car’s paintwork.
The survey data revealed that there is an appetite from drivers to undertake paint repairs themselves.
For example, a third of blue car owners said they would do car paint repairs themselves.
