When it comes to painting your car no matter what the cause, you will need to know the basics about the various types of paint or products used for painting your car. Here is a list of terms you must know before you rush out to purchase paint.
Solvent – this is the term used when referring to any kind of thinner. It helps reduce the thickness of the product you could be applying or spraying. Solvents contain such items as Alcohol, Acetone, Lacquer thinner, Water, Urethane. Ready to Spray are products that need nothing else such as a few plastic adhesion promoters, Primers, some top coats such as vinyl colors. Other things you must pay attention to when choosing the paint color for your auto body painting include:
Cost – Watch your budget.
Resale Value- You could think the new fad color is awesome but when you are ready to sell, that color may not be popular.
Watch out for substitute or variant colors – you may have chosen a color but then when you start painting it is not what you estimated. Always ask to see any alternative or variant colors to be sure.
