Straightening and painting work on a car body requires experience in handling materials and their processing. Such experience comes, as a rule, in the course of many years of practice. In this regard, only techniques for repairing minor damage to the body and paintwork are explained here.
For tinting, be sure to use varnish of the same color, because after finishing work, even a slight difference in color immediately catches the eye. The corresponding color tone is indicated by the manufacturer in the vehicle parameters table, which is located in the engine compartment on the right side wall.
If, however, a difference is found between the tone of the original and repair paintwork, then it may be due to the aging of the car paintwork over time, its ultraviolet solar radiation, extreme temperature changes, weather conditions and chemical influences, for example, industrial gases. In addition, superficial damage to surfaces, discolouration and tarnishing can occur if cleaning and maintenance of the lacquer coating is carried out with unsuitable products.
Paint coating type "metallic" consists of two layers: primer "metallic" and colorless lacquer. When lacquering, a clear lacquer is sprayed on top of a damp layer of primer lacquer. Danger of color differences during subsequent varnishing of the type coating "metallic" especially large, since even the difference in viscosity of the repair and original varnish has an effect here.
