Body Repair & Paint

Once he’s convinced with the inspection, the painter drives the car into the paint booth. To get the desired color shade of the car, the painter first looks up the paint code of the said car. Each shade of car has its own unique paint code. The deduction of this code tells the painter exactly in what proportions different colors and other compounds like thinner etc. need to be mixed to obtain the desired shade. Once the paint is prepared, the painter pours it into the spray gun bottle, connects it to the spray gun and sprays paint on the respective body panels. Painting is an extremely skilled process, as you must be well aware of. Holding the spray gun at a safe distance from the panel, the painter moves his hands steadily across the surface of the panel, spraying paint. 2 layers of paint is applied to the surface. The car is then left in the paint booth and the heaters in the booth are turned on so that the paint can bake and cure properly. Once the paint is cured, the painter applies a final layer called the Clear Coat to the surface of the panel. This coat is what gives the panel a good glossy finish
