Car painting is necessary for various reasons - this is damage after an accident, when rust appears in places of small dents or scratches, or simply to change the design and give a new image to the car. Metallic painting is one of the most common, as this method is used by many manufacturers. The color scheme is very varied, and the metallic gives softer colors. Like any type of painting, this method has its own characteristics and nuances.
Instructions
Step 1
Sand the surface of the car and cover with paper or foil the places that should not be painted (glass, handles). Then place the car in the paint booth.
Step 2
Degrease the car with a special anti-silicone fluid. Take two dry wipes and soak one of them with this liquid, and apply to the body, and wipe dry with the second napkin. Pay special attention to this, otherwise fresh paint may not adhere well to the vehicle.
Step 3
Blow off the machine before and after degreasing. With this operation you will remove dust, putty residues. Watch carefully for cracks, openings, gratings - they should all be blown.
Step 4
Apply the first coat of paint, which should block the stains of the primer and give the surface a uniform look. If this fails, then repeat the procedure until you achieve a smooth and evenly painted body.
Step 5
Ensure that the last painted coat is dull and apply a final, critical coat that should be sprayed evenly using a spray method. Apply it without streaks or blemishes.
Step 6
Apply the varnish to the painted surface in two to three layers, after each layer you need to dry and check for tack. After varnishing, the final drying process can be accelerated by increasing the temperature in the painting booth.
