How Long is the Paint Warranty at a 4S Shop?

[Phyllis]

At a 4S shop, the paint warranty period is generally at least 1 year or more. It is recommended to first consult the service station to check the warranty duration. Non-manufactured scratches can be covered under warranty. Below is a supplementary introduction to the 4S shop paint process: 1. Body sheet metal/paint surface grinding. After scratches or collisions, sheet metal repair is usually needed to restore the basic shape. Professional paint grinding tools are used to remove the original paint, exposing the metal panel. 2. "Putty application" for leveling. Putty is mainly used to ensure the paint surface is smooth and to fill in depressions. Generally, it needs to be applied 3 times, which affects the final paint result. 3. Use a paint scanner to match the car paint, followed by manual fine-tuning. Due to varying usage periods of different vehicles, the paint may have slight changes. Technicians need to compare the paint sample with the body color on-site. Fine-tuning tests the technician's experience and is the most crucial step. 4. Paint application. The types of paint mainly include standard paint, metallic paint, and pearl paint. Prices vary depending on the type and brand of car paint.
