Repairing and painting a car depends on whether it's a full-body paint job or a small-area touch-up. Small-area touch-ups can be completed in a day, while a full-body paint job at a 4S dealership might take ten days to half a month, and at least a week at an external repair shop. Below is a partial introduction to car repair and painting: 1. Overview: The process from receiving the car, diagnosing the issue, issuing the work order, to dispatching the job takes about an hour. If the car requires painting, it should first be handed over to a professional auto body and paint center. The service advisor will greet the owner, discuss the pricing for the painting area, and conduct a full inspection and confirmation of the vehicle before issuing the work order and dispatching the job to the workshop. 2. Types of Paint: Car painting refers to applying a layer of paint to the car's surface to protect it. Automotive paint is typically baking paint. There are several types of topcoat: standard paint, metallic paint, and pearl paint. Standard paint consists of resin, pigments, and additives. Metallic paint contains aluminum powder, giving it a shiny finish. Pearl paint includes mica particles, which reflect light directionally, creating a colorful effect.
