Abstract
A method for repairing surface damage includes taking an image of a non-damaged area of the surface, selecting a repair patch having an outward surface adapted to be directly printable using an Ink Jet, Laser, or other household printer; printing the image onto the repair patch, and applying the repair patch over the damaged area. This repair method may use a patch with a self-adhesive lower surface for easy application. This method can further include placing a center reinforcement patch over the surface damage before applying the repair patch. The Center reinforcement patch may provide an adhesive on the lower surface.
