Exploring Auto Body Paint Application Procedures

Hello, my name is Salena Vectins. On this website, I am going to explore the process of painting automobiles after a collision. After an automotive accident occurs, the paint lifts up off the surface and develops cracks all around the dent. Auto body technicians may even need to replace an entire panel to restore the vehicle's shape. When this happens, the replacement panel does not usually match the rest of the car. Auto body techs must color match the panel or paint the entire vehicle. I want to explore all of the different types of paint finishes available for cars, trucks and vans. I will also talk about application techniques, including sanding the finish and spraying the paint on the surface. Thanks for stopping by my website. Please come back again soon.
