Is the touch-up paint at a 4S shop the original factory paint?
1 Answers
Going to a 4S shop for touch-up paint does not involve the original factory paint. Any subsequent spray painting or refinishing means it is no longer the original factory paint. 4S shops do not use original factory paint; instead, they mix the paint based on the vehicle's original color. A significant portion of the paint is also supplied by professional paint mixing shops. There is no so-called original factory paint for touch-ups. The key factors to consider are: first, whether there is any color difference, and second, the quality of the spray application. Original factory paint is high-temperature paint, baked at temperatures of at least 130 degrees Celsius, which ensures strong adhesion and durability. In contrast, touch-up paint typically uses repair paint baked at around 80 degrees Celsius.
