Can You Paint a Car on Rainy Days?
1 Answers
Painting a car on rainy days is not advisable. Rainwater generally contains acidity, and acid rain can significantly damage the car's paint, leading to surface oxidation and loss of gloss. Additionally, the high humidity in the air after rain can affect the drying speed of the newly applied paint. Car Painting Process: Cleaning: First, thoroughly clean the car's surface to remove dust and debris, and determine the repair process. Oiling: Apply oil to the area to be painted. Sanding: Choose the appropriate sandpaper to sand the area to be painted, ensuring the paint is completely smoothed. Applying Putty: After sanding off all the paint, apply putty to the area. Cleaning and Masking: After applying the putty, use an air gun to blow away dust and impurities to prevent paint splatter. Painting: Spray the pre-mixed paint in 3-5 layers. Finishing: After the paint dries, sand and adjust any uneven areas to achieve a smooth and clean finish. Precautions After Car Painting: If the car has just been painted, avoid exposing the newly painted areas to water and dust. It's best not to drive the car in the rain, as the fresh paint is still delicate and can be marked by rainwater, sometimes leaving permanent marks that cannot be polished away. Parking in a garage at night is recommended.
