Is there a big difference between paint jobs at auto repair shops and 4S stores?

[Lorenzo]

There is not much difference, except that 4S stores charge higher fees. Here is some relevant information about car paint: 1. Advantages of car paint: The paint film has good fullness, high gloss, high hardness, and excellent adhesion. It possesses superior mechanical properties, outstanding gloss retention, weather resistance, and wear resistance, as well as good resistance to acids, alkalis, alcohol, and gasoline. 2. Classification of car paint: Car paint can generally be divided into solid paint, metallic paint, and pearl paint. Solid paint is the most basic type, usually in white and red, with a pure overall color. Metallic paint, based on solid paint, incorporates metal powders like aluminum and copper, giving the paint a more textured appearance. Pearl paint, on the other hand, is more dazzling and similar to metallic paint, but with the addition of mica particles that make it shine brilliantly under sunlight.
