How Long Does Bodywork and Painting Take at a 4S Shop?

[LaJuliet]

If it's a single panel paint job, it usually takes one day. If there are many cars waiting for painting at the 4S shop, it typically requires 2 to 3 days. Here is extended information about automotive paint: 1. It's normal for vehicles to sustain minor scratches during daily use. When scratches occur, the paint surface gets damaged, requiring repair. Automotive paint consists of four layers, from inside out: the electrocoat layer, primer layer, basecoat layer, and clearcoat layer. 2. If it's just minor scratches, only the clearcoat layer is affected. Scratches on the clearcoat can be removed through simple polishing. For deeper scratches that reach the basecoat layer, repainting is the only repair method. If scratches penetrate to the primer layer, exposing the metal surface, prolonged exposure may lead to metal corrosion. For severe scratches reaching the primer layer, immediate repair is recommended to prevent body panel rusting.
