What to Do If There Is Color Difference in Car Paint?
2 Answers
Repolish the areas with color difference, completely remove the original paint, and then clean thoroughly. Cover and protect other parts, then start applying the primer. When spraying paint, you can spray once every five or six minutes. After completion, enter the baking room to dry, usually taking about two hours. Sand with 2000-grit sandpaper, then polish and wax the paint surface.
I've encountered paint color mismatch issues several times, mostly due to inaccurate color mixing during repairs or different oxidation levels between new touch-ups and old paint after prolonged use. Environmental factors often play tricks too – like tree sap or bird droppings that can cause corrosive discoloration if not cleaned promptly. For treatment, I recommend starting with thorough cleaning using pH-neutral car shampoo; surface stains might disappear this way. For deeper issues, don't try DIY fixes to save money – professional body shops with color matching cards and spectrophotometers deliver precise color restoration. Last time I visited a reputable shop for partial respray with excellent results. Preventive measures matter: park in shade to avoid sun damage, and regular waxing maintains paint integrity, saving both money and headaches.
