Car wearing a gown means full car repainting. Introduction to full car repainting: Full car repainting refers to an artificial paint made from nitrocellulose, resin, pigments, solvents, etc. It is usually evenly sprayed on the car surface using a spray gun. The characteristics of this paint include water resistance, oil resistance, and fast drying. It should be noted that the paint is toxic and has certain effects on the body. Different brands of paint have varying levels of toxicity due to differences in composition. Special attention should be paid to safety during use to avoid inhalation and skin contact. Classification of full car repainting: By type, it can be divided into manual full car repainting and mechanical automatic full car spraying. By paint variety, it can be divided into alkyd paint, acrylic paint, and water-based paint.
As a seasoned driver with years of experience, putting a 'coat' on a car is essentially covering the vehicle with a protective layer, like draping a large jacket over it, typically made of cotton or waterproof material. This is mainly to protect the car's paint and body from long-term exposure to dust, bird droppings, rain, or UV rays, especially when parked in outdoor parking lots or during the rainy season. I often put it on before parking in winter, feeling it helps prevent snow from damaging the roof and extends the car's lifespan. However, it's important to choose a cover that fits properly; otherwise, strong winds can easily blow it away, affecting its sealing. It's best to remove it periodically for ventilation to avoid moisture buildup that could lead to internal rust. From experience, investing in a good cover saves both hassle and car wash expenses.
