How Long is the Warranty for Sheet Metal and Painting?
1 Answers
Sheet metal and painting warranties are generally valid for 1 year. The specific duration depends on the warranty policy of the 4S dealership, as each shop may have different warranty terms for paintwork. After sheet metal repair, the paint can last about 5 to 6 years. Car paint is a protective film applied to the vehicle. Sheet metal repair involves reshaping and restoring areas of the vehicle that have been deformed due to collision. Painting is the process of restoring the color and gloss of the vehicle after it has been returned to its pre-collision state. Main car paint processes include: Electrophoretic paint: Functions include rust and corrosion prevention; Primer: Provides UV and stone chip resistance, serving as a base for the color coat; Color coat: Enhances aesthetics; Clear coat: Adds gloss and stone chip resistance to the vehicle body. Methods for maintaining car paint include: Promptly removing dust from the vehicle body to minimize static electricity's attraction of dust; Rinsing rain stains with water as soon as possible after rain to prevent paint damage; Avoiding washing the vehicle under intense sunlight or high temperatures; Using clean, soft cloths or sponges to wipe the body to prevent scratches caused by metal shavings or sand particles.
