Car bodies are painted primarily for protection against corrosion caused by exposure to weather elements such as rain, snow, and salt. The paint also enhances the car's appearance, provides a smooth finish, and can act as a barrier against minor scratches and dings. Additionally, the paint can help increase the resale value of the vehicle.
$75 to $100 is a reasonable price range to compound and buff a few spots on the front part of the hood and grill for a car with latex paint. Prices can vary based on the extent of the damage and the specific detailing services included. It's always a good idea to get multiple quotes to ensure you're getting a fair price.
$400.00
There is no easy answer. It all depends on too many factors like type of paint, surface prep of the car,etc. $400 is not a realistic figure.
Waxing will not bring back the colour on an older car if there is oxidization. Oxidization needs to be removed with a suitable polish, then wax can be applied to protect the fresh paint surface. VaporWax is a non abrasive acrylic conditioner that will remove oxidation from automotive paint on contact. Safe for all acrylic paint and clear coat.
Typically the term "enamel paint" is used to describe oil-based covering products, usually with a significant amount of gloss in them. In recent years, many latex or water-based paints have adopted the term as well. The term "enamel" is used generically to describe "hard surfaced paint" and usually is in reference to any paint that air dries with a sheen.
Lacquer refers to quick-drying solvent-based coatings that contain nitrocellulose resin obtained from the nitration of cotton and other cellulostic materials.

Lacquers are quick drying products that can generally only be spray applied. Enamels can be a wide variety of products that are both spray or brush applied.
Many lacquers are derived from cotton and are quite suitable for wood care.
That depends on what you're looking for in a paint job and what condition the vehicle body is in. Last summer ('07), I painted my Service Truck. I did 100% of all of it, including the body work which had considerable amounts of rust and needed panels welded in. The total came to just over $400.00. I used a single color, single stage paint. In '05 I had my Firebird painted by a 'pro' shop. Multi-colored and clear-coated with some extras added for a more intense pearl effect. They also did all of the body work. Total price: $4300.00. Make sure you get at least 3 estimates if you're going the pro route. My 3 varied by more than $1000.00! If you do it yourself, get a book that describes everything you'll need first. There's a lot equipment to buy before you can 'shoot your own'. Hope this helps. BcB
coz they want to look nice
*and if their not painted their look boring , &besides if the cars are not painted maybe the owner of the car will know the car ,

Do you know those little sand paper things you get some of those a you remove the paint that way. That is the way I seen my uncle do it and it then you'll most likely have a grey base or a different color but that is the way you remove paint from your car.
No you don't need to sand between coats of base paint.Unless you exceed the time allowed before clearcoat.In most cases that's 12 hrs.You can sand at anytime during your base coats if you want to remove a run or dirt or any flaw.You just have to make sure you get the area covered before clearing.
It depends on the size of the vehicle. Something mid-size maybe 2-3 qts depending on how many coats you do. For larger vehicles maybe a gallon or more of spray-able material. That is your paint+reducer.
Put it into an equation, {The surface area of the specified car}÷{12 square meters per litre} which gives you the required paint
Silicone fluids containing amines can be used on scratches and rubbed with a muslin cloth will render the original look without white marks.Silicones wet the surface effectively and give transparency to the surface which will reflect the blue surface undernaeth.
Because it will avoid problems with
With vinyl siding cleaner, that can be obtained from a home store or a build supply company.
Then you use a garden hose to wash it off. NEVER, use a pressure washer to wash off vinyl siding.
Vinyl siding has a very thing sealer over it, almost like gloss paint, when you use a pressure wash on it, it can destroy this sealer and if you look at some houses very close you will notice that the siding looks dull and has no shine to it, and it can also look chalky,
once this happens the vinyl can not protect against dirt and the sun.
If you have a two story house, or it is too hard for you to do this, and you call a company,
make sure they do NOT use a stream, it must be a very fine mist or it will damage the siding.
Remember, some good siding cleaner and a garden hose and a very soft brush is the best way to clean your siding and to keep it lasting as long as it can.
Sandblasting is just like Detailing or even painting a car. It is pure experience in how they sandblast and even what material they are sandblasting.
You should always just get 3-4 Estimates from REPUTABLE companies. Then you will have your average.
Pretty much any place that sells model airplanes, cars, etc. will carry it. I've seen it at Wal-mart.
Sandpaper is used to add a nice, smooth finish to a piece of wood or to an object made out of timber.
When a fine smooth finish is required on an object's surface, different grades of sandpaper are used to rub down the surface, starting with the coarsest grade and working through to the finest grade. The rough texture of the sand stuck to the surface of the paper scratches off the roughness of the object's surface making it progressively smoother. Frequently sandpaper is used between the application of layers or "coats" of paint.
Sandpaper may also be used to file fingernails or remove rough areas of calluses on the skin.
Well first you have to dismantle all the bike parts from the bike. Separate wheels from body and take out all the brakes and stickers. Then remove all the old paint and scratches from the bike. To remove the old paint, take a sheet of sand paper and rub it against the parts that you want to paint. Rub until you see a silver metal under the paint. After you have done that, you are ready to paint your bike. (For BEST results i prefer using spray paint for metal, because it sticks better to it.) Take a spray paint and spray the first coat. Than wait 5-10 minutes for paint to dry than spray the second layer. For more darker color, make it 3 layers. So here you go! Enjoy!
