Steps In How To Repaint Your Car After Doing Sponge Blasting

By Anita Ortega


Doing a car repainting project has a lot of its considerations and the first one that you will encounter is about the rusting of your frame. That is the most common problem with steel because it can easily oxidize when through exposure to water. Have that treated with the appropriate solution.

After you have removed the rust, there might be holes that must have been eaten up by the corrosion. After the sponge blasting, fill the spaces with a body filler that is of high quality so that you can have a smoother outcome. This can also be easily sanded.

You also have to do the block sanding of the panels and this is a better way to do it because it is much easier. If you will not be using a block, there might be some fingermarks that will be left and thus making the surfaces uneven. Coarse sand paper will have to be applied first and the fine ones eventually.

When you start the actual job, the first part that you have to start with would be the interior part of the car. You can do this is a garage with an adequate space. Park the automobile properly and to ensure that there will be particles like dusts suspended in the air, you can hang some draping.

The workplace should also en kept organized because this is necessary in order for you to ascertain a good outcome. Keep everything clean and remove all of the clutters on the floor as those would cause accidents by tripping. It must also be free from dust which might stick to the paint as it is applied.

This should also be maintained dry because moist and water can be causes of corrosion. There should also be proper ventilation so that the painter would not suffocate on the fumes of the chemicals. A furnace filter or an exhaust fan can help if there are not enough windows.

A primer will also have to be applied but make sure that it would be of the best quality before as this will work in protecting the panels of the vehicle. This can enhance the way that the paint will stick into the body. In effect, you will have a more lasting finish.

Clear and base painting system is what is currently used by many auto shops and this would even work well even if this is relatively less expensive. This can also be easily applied with lesser hassle and would give you an outcome that has more luster and would be better at hiding the scratches. This will make your work even easier to accomplish.

For you to be able to get a smooth finish, the appropriate painting gun should be obtained as this tool requires an easy operation for you to be able to get adequate control while you spray. The ones with bad quality would have the tendency to spray in amounts which are unequal. You would also have to get an oil separator for the contaminants and pressure regulator.
