Car — Paint Job?
I’m opting for a paint job, although my car doesn’t need it. My question is, considering my car is a coupe, and I want to retain the same color, will the price be lower? And what are somethings to avoid after a paint job?
im a car body sprayer and here are my honest answers,
it will be cheaper because your car is a coupe, we charge by the panel, your car has less panels. it will also be cheaper because you car has no damage and is going to stay the same colour, much less work involved. after the respray defenatly dont take your car through a car wash. it will scratch it. hand wash it only. as your cat doesnt need a respray why not just have it machine polish at the body shop this is so cheap and will look almost like its been painted new. it takes all the fine scratches out
hope this helps
