Rubbing compound and wax
You have to make sure there are no imperfections in the clear coat. If so they need to be taken out with a fine grit wet paper like 1500 or 2000.
A good BUFFING COMPOUND not rubbing compound is used VERY CAREFULLY in small areas at a time until the desired gloss is achieved. BE CAREFUL,,,if you stay in one spot too long or put too much pressure on it, you will burn through the paint.
if the vehicle has been repainted with a paint that can be buffed you can colorsand and buff out the peel but you don't know until you try.If it is a factory paint job you are stuck with the results
If the scratch is in the clear coat, then there is a possibility to buff it out. Deep scratches into the color coat need to be color filled matching paint color) then clear coated over.
Yes outo body shops also do paint jobs. A paint job has to be done after a body work. Body shops must therefore have equipment and experts for paint job.
It all depends where you go for paint job, Maaco will charge you around $1000 to $1500 for a respray., but for a real good one paint job it will goes up to $2000 to $2500 for a really nice paint job to some good auto paint shop.
Go on suggestions from friends. Places like Maaco will paint your car and a bargain price but a real nice auto paint job can cost you a lot of money. Be prepared to pay for the quality of work you want.
A paint job will usually cost between 350 to 700$. Body repair is just a general term and the price depends upon the extent of the work needed.
Auto paint can be found on the Menards, Home Depot and Hobo websites. There are other website that has auto paint such as Walmart, Sears, Auto Zone and Pep Boys.
well, can you? you can do it if you like....
No, it actually isn't higher... The only time a vehicles paint significantly effects the price of Auto Insurance is when you have a "Custom Paint" job and you have selected full coverage. This is because in the event of damage, a custom paint job is typically more expensive to repair than factory paint. White and black automotive paint is generally the least expensive colors of paint.
Get farther away and put down less paint on the old finish. You can put more thinner in it also, so that it doesn't hide as much. After it dries, you can buff the old to blend in the finish. It takes a lot of practice and talent to do this so that you don't see the difference. All paint fades and some colors are very hard to match.
If you are located near a Maaco auto painting facility, then you should go there as they can sometimes warranty their work. They offer a good price with good quality automotive paint.
Try to look for a company which specializes in car repair. If you really need one done, I'd recommend you go to a hobby store or an auto-shop and buff it out, depending on how badly the damage affected your car.
