The steps for a full car paint job are: 1. Remove oil stains from the car's paint surface, degrease plastic surfaces, wash the vehicle with clean water, and perform rust removal on the car's paint surface. After rust removal, rinse again with clean water and check for any remaining rust residue. 2. Use zinc-based phosphating solution to phosphorate the steel surface. After phosphating the paint surface, rinse with clean water. Once cleaning is complete, allow the parts to be painted to dry. 3. When spraying paint, hold the spray gun about 20 centimeters from the object and spray evenly in multiple coats for better results. 4. After the paint is completely dry, apply a layer of clear coat to enhance gloss, protect the paint surface, and increase durability. Note that when applying multiple coats, maintain an interval of at least 10 minutes between coats to allow the paint to dry and prevent sagging. If sagging occurs, wait for it to dry, then sand with 600-grit sandpaper until smooth, and cover with a light spray from a distance.

What does the flashing red light after locking the car mean?

Locking the car and seeing a flashing red light indicates that the car's anti-theft alarm system is activating. The anti-theft system installed in cars is designed to prevent theft of the vehicle itself or items inside it. The anti-theft system consists of an electronically controlled remote or key, an electronic control circuit, an alarm device, and an actuator. The anti-theft system can remotely control the locking or unlocking of the doors, but this range is limited. If the vehicle is stolen, the anti-theft system will sound an alarm, though the car can still be moved in such cases. There is also another type of anti-theft system that can prevent the car from moving, combining both anti-theft alarm and vehicle immobilization functions.

Why is it necessary to change transmission oil regularly?

Reasons for regular transmission oil changes: 1. Transmission oil is gear oil for the transmission, and power steering fluid is the hydraulic fluid that allows the power steering pump to function properly; 2. Transmission oil is added to the gearbox, and without it, internal gears would experience dry friction, leading to gear wear. Both automatic and manual transmissions require transmission oil. Transmission oil is divided into manual transmission oil and automatic transmission oil. Manual transmission oil serves to lubricate gears and bearings, while automatic transmission oil not only lubricates gears but also functions in hydraulic power transmission. Gear oil lubricates transmission gears, and in the case of automatic transmission fluid for automatic vehicles, it also plays a role in power transmission.
