There are dozens of reasons why your vehicle might need a new coat of paint. Perhaps it is an old car and the paint is dull or even starting to peel. Or maybe it got scratched or some no good skunk went and keyed it. Whatever the reason, there are several things to consider before driving to the auto body or auto painting shop
The first is durability. After all, you want your new paint job to last. And a paint job will only last if the service provider uses good paint and professional equipment. Now, I don't want to cast aspersions on chain stores, but in my humble opinion, some of the more popular auto painting chains cut corners, especially when it comes to paint. They use cheaper, thinner paints that can be applied more quickly. This saves them time and money on both the paint and the training. Unfortunately, many drivers are lured in by their impressive discounts and expeditious service, only to discover a year or two later that they need another paint job.
There are two viable options to the chain stores. The first is a local auto body shop that specialises in spray painting a car. These trained professionals actually take their time and deliver superior service. The only issue is that it costs about twice as much spray painting a car than at the chain stores. Fortunately, there is a far more affordable way to get a custom paint job and that is by spray painting a car on your own.
The most common misconception that keeps folks from attempting a job, is any job that they believe takes some special talent. Trust us, spray painting a car is not an artistic undertaking. It is a skill that can be acquired with a little patience and practice. You don't need to be a Di Vinci or a Michelangelo to do it. In fact, the only thing you need is the right equipment, which can be purchased for around two-hundred pounds, and the right instructional programme. That is where I come in.
