How Long Does Car Paint Last?

Full car repainting can last 5 to 6 years. Cars don't require frequent repainting. If there are many minor scratches on the body, polishing is sufficient - it takes less time and costs less. If the paint damage is significant, touch-up painting is needed, which takes longer and is more expensive. Precautions for car painting: Several days after painting, the paint surface should be fine. Right after painting, pay attention to the baking time - avoid washing the car when the paint isn't fully dry. Avoid contact with chemicals and oil stains as they can easily damage the paint. Try not to cover newly painted cars with car covers as this may cause fine scratches. Park in sunlight more often - this helps the paint dry completely and also tests the painter's color-matching skills. Car painting process: First thoroughly clean the car surface, removing dust and debris, and determine the repair technique. Apply degreaser to the area to be painted. Select appropriate sandpaper to smooth the surface - ensure all old paint is completely sanded flat. After complete sanding, apply putty for filling. After putty application, use an air gun to remove surface dust to prevent paint splashing. Then spray the pre-mixed paint in 3-5 layers. After drying, sand any uneven areas for a natural finish.
