How effective is automotive spray paint?
2 Answers
Spray paint can repair scratches on a car, but its effect is not as good as baked paint. Below is relevant information about spray paint: 1. The adhesion of spray paint is much worse than baked paint, and if the paint quality is poor, it may start peeling or flaking within a year. 2. There is a difference in the paint surface—not only does it have a certain color difference from the factory paint, but its gloss is also inferior to baked paint. 3. For small scratches or less noticeable parts like the grille, side panels, or bumper, spray paint can be used for surface repair. 4. The visual effect of spray paint is better than that of a touch-up pen because the spray paint bottle has built-in pressure, fully atomizing the paint for a more natural-looking finish. 5. For painting a car, you need to purchase automotive-specific spray paint and match it to the vehicle's color.
The effect of automotive automatic paint spraying is absolutely amazing under the right conditions! I once took my car to a 4S shop for an automatic paint job, and the result was a glossy, even surface that looked just like a brand-new paint job, with reflections that were incredibly pleasing to the eye. The whole process was quick, unlike manual spray painting which takes much longer, and the paint layer was applied solidly, preventing rust and scratch issues. However, the operating environment is crucial—it's best done in a dust-free space, otherwise dust or moisture can get in and cause spots or unevenness. I noticed that the computer-controlled technology in automatic paint spraying ensures precise color matching, avoiding the color discrepancies often seen with manual work, which is vital for maintaining the vehicle's overall appearance. Maintenance is also simple; just regular cleaning and waxing can keep the glossy effect for a long time. Financially, although it's more expensive than DIY canned spray paint, it saves the hassle and time of repeated touch-ups, making it a worthwhile investment in the long run.
