How is a panel defined for car painting?
1 Answers
In car painting maintenance, each door is counted as one panel, while the hood, trunk lid, and roof each count as one panel respectively. The front and rear bumpers are each considered one panel, and the left/right front fenders and left/right rear fenders together make up four panels. Below are specific details about car painting maintenance: 1. The most common car painting maintenance is polishing and waxing. Polishing removes the oxidized layer on the paint surface, making the car noticeably brighter. After waxing the car body, water droplet adhesion can be reduced by 50% to 90%, protecting the paint while also helping to prevent dust and high temperatures. 2. New cars do not require polishing. The surface of a new car does not oxidize immediately, and polishing may damage the paint, having the opposite effect. For new car maintenance, simply wash the car thoroughly and apply wax directly without polishing. 3. The durability of spray painting and waxing is relatively short, typically lasting about 2 months. For cars over one year old with severe oxidation or obvious scratches, it is recommended to polish first before spray painting and waxing to remove the oxidized film on the car body and maintain the paint's luster.
