Why Are Original Car Paint Values Higher?

[LilaLynn]

Original car paint values are higher because 2K paint is applied thicker than clear coat. The standard thickness for original factory car paint is 80-150μm (micrometers), while repaint thickness is typically around 250μm. Paint Thickness Measurement: If the paint thickness exceeds the original factory specifications, it indicates the vehicle has been repainted. Professional Repair Recommendations: For body paint damage, it's advisable to visit a 4S shop or professional paint repair facility. Unprofessional repair shops often lack proper equipment and skilled technicians, which affects repair quality. This can negatively impact both the vehicle's resale value and aesthetic appearance.
