Things to Consider Before Getting a Paint Job

Thinking about a new paint job for your vehicle might be exciting, but you should still weigh some factors before doing so. It’s best to understand the painting process first before driving your car into the autobody shop.

Trust the Process Because It Will Take Time.
It’s not an overnight job to paint a vehicle. It will take several days to several weeks for the prep and paint job to be done and the chemicals to settle. This means that the auto body shop will keep your car for some time, especially if the paint on your car is already old and mired in rust, cracking, and chipping, the process of repainting your car will take longer. It isn’t as simple as just slapping a new coat of paint over the old…

The Paint Job Will Require Removal of Interior Parts
Repainting won’t just involve the car’s exterior. Pieces will be separated from your car for separate treatment and painting. So if you’re taking your car into the auto body shop, make sure that all of your things inside have been removed. Paron’s is skilled in all aspects of disassembly and pre and guarantee that your vehicle will be returned in good condition.

Paint Won’t Fix Dings and Dents
You’ll have to reconsider your decision if you think repainting would erase the hideous dents and dings. Fresh paint may also stress the issues even more. Even after fresh paint is applied, damage including rust spots, cracks, gouges, dents, pits, and scratches will still be there.

Before adding the fresh paint, it’s best to consider the entire condition of your vehicle. Your car will look as good as new in this way and you can depend on Paron Collision to complete all the requisite body repairs in this holistic manner of restoring the beauty of your car.

New Paint adds Value to Your Car
If you intend to sell your old car, it would be an excellent investment to repaint it. It will raise the price of your vehicle on the market directly, especially if small damage is also fixed in the process. However, if your car is more than a decade old, you should weigh if repainting would yield good benefits.

Price Quotes Depend on the Condition of your Paint Job
If you are on a budget and are preparing to file an insurance claim, you should keep in mind that the cost of repainting per shop can vary. Even before adding the fresh paint, the price will depend on the prep work that the shop will have to do. If the aint and body work on your car is in a battered state, expect it to cost more than painting a newer car.
