3 Signs It’s Time To Have Your Car Repainted

Recognizing the three signs it’s time to have your car repainted can keep your vehicle looking its best while maintaining its value. Learn more about these signs and some considerations when choosing an auto paint shop.

Cracking, Peeling, or Bubbling Paint

Cracking, peeling, or bubbling are some of the most common and obvious signs that your car needs a paint job. These issues often occur due to prolonged exposure to the sun, harsh weather conditions, or simply as the vehicle ages. Not only do they make your car look aged and poorly maintained, but they also expose the metal underneath to potential rust and corrosion.

Rusty Areas

Rusty spots on your car are clear signs that a repaint is in order. Rust forms when the metal parts of your vehicle contact moisture for extended periods, leading to oxidation. Left untreated, rust can cause significant damage that goes beyond the surface. A fresh coat of paint can protect your car against rust, keeping it in good condition for longer.

Collision Repair

After a collision, your car may require extensive repairs, including repainting. Even minor fender benders can result in scratches and dents that need repainting once you have them fixed. Repainting your car after a collision restores its appearance and protects the repaired areas from future damage.

Car Paint and the Environment

It’s worth understanding the different types of car paint available when having your vehicle repainted. The professionals applying the auto paint should make doing the job well and meeting your expectations a priority, whether they use durable but highly toxic urethane paints or eco-friendlier water-based acrylics, protecting the environment. Ask your paint shop what kind of paint they use and what steps they take to protect themselves and the environment. Also, ask whether they use solvent-based paints or other types of solvents for coatings or stripping in their process and whether they clean and recycle their solvents.

Make Sure You Protect Your Car’s Tech

Auto painting often involves removing some or all the interior components, including the dashboard and console. This removal process can cause damage to seats and technological components like the screens that display information from backup cameras if not removed properly. You can’t very well see what your backup camera sees if auto paint is covering your screen.

Moreover, incorrect removal or reinstallation of these tech components can impair their functionality, leading to costly repairs or replacements. Choose car repainting professionals with experience in handling both the aesthetic and technical aspects of the job.

Recognizing the signs it’s time to have your car repainted can help you maintain your vehicle’s appearance and value. Inquiring about how your paint shop of choice protects your car’s technology during the repainting process is important. Your car’s technical features should work correctly on the inside when they return your car looking shiny and new on the outside.
