How Long After Car Paint Repair Can You Leave?
1 Answers
For small-area quick paint repairs, the car can be driven away on the same day. However, for large-area spray painting, it typically takes about 2 days before the car can be driven. It is important to note that after paint repair, the repaired areas should avoid contact with corrosive cleaners such as adhesive removers or asphalt removers, as these can severely melt the newly applied paint. Precautions during paint repair: Always go to a specialized large repair shop or a dedicated repair shop, and avoid choosing repair shops without dedicated paint drying rooms. The color of the repair paint is mixed before the repair. As the vehicle is driven, the paint gradually fades, which may not be noticeable to the naked eye. However, under outdoor sunlight, the degree of fading may vary slightly from different angles. To match the original color as closely as possible, the paint must be mixed on the spot. Precautions after paint repair: Do not use high-pressure water to wash the car body directly. The hardness of the repaired paint is lower compared to the original factory paint, and excessive water pressure can damage the car's paint surface. Avoid using random cleaning agents. While driving, the car may accumulate asphalt, oil stains, or insects, which should be handled with care. Check if the paint color matches the original car paint. Even if it's not 100% identical, it should be largely consistent with the original factory paint color. This can be checked under sunlight, as color is greatly affected by light. Inspect the smoothness of the paint surface. A normal paint surface should have no pitting, impurities, or dripping paint.
