New York Car Surface Repair

Are you thinking about repainting your car? Before you take this step, don't forget to consider the need for surface repair. This may be included in your paint estimate. The new paint finish may include an estimate for surface preparation. Sometimes, your cars's existing finish is in fair condition and does not require any special reatment. Other times, your car may require refinishing part or all of your existing finish. So, don't be surprised to find this as an addition to your estimate or bill.

One example of propert auto paint surface preparatinon includes the removal of chips and scratches. Auto paint technitions can't paint over these issues becasuse they will show up on the final paint coat and destroy the finish. Instead, the damaged area needs to be sanded and featheredged so that it is invisible on the new paint coat.

The worst case scenario is that you will need the old paint job removed because of clear coat delamination, peeling and chipping. Cracks will require stripping as well.

If your paint has chipped, causing large areas to be free of paint on a panel of your car such as the hood, you may need to strip the entire panel of paint.

If your see these kind of issues popping up - such as clear coat delamination or excessive chipping - have your car evaluated right away. Waiting for further damage will result in a bigger problem - and a bigger bill.
