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.
