One of the most critical considerations during auto body restoration is the painting process. You may want to retain the vehicle's original colour, or you may want a new colour. Nonetheless, ensure that the car is sprayed professionally to give it an appealing exterior. Below are some tips to guide you when looking for an auto spray painter.

Reputation

Do you have friends who have recently repainted their vehicles? Ask them to recommend the garage where they had their cars repainted. Besides, you can browse online for garages with positive online reviews. Look for garages in your locality that specialise in automotive painting. Ask their clients to rate their services. 

Experience 

An experienced garage is likely to provide high-quality finishes. When shopping around, ask the garages how long they have been in operation. Moreover, inquire about the experience of their staff. 

Speciality

Some garages specialise in specific types of vehicles. For instance, if you would want your car decorated with graffiti or images, some garages specialise in such kind of art. Some garages will deal with trucks while others might deal with sports cars. Regardless of the garage's speciality, ensure that they have high-quality work.  

Professionalism 

The mechanics should be courteous when dealing with new clients. They should be patient to explain to you how they conduct their work. Some garages have high-quality equipment and use modern day technology during painting. When evaluating the quality of services, ask the following questions:

  1. How do you prepare the car for painting? The vehicle should be cleaned of any dust, grease and road grime. If you want the engine bay and interior painted, then the car should be stripped to its shell.
  2. How do you strip the car? Do you use blasting machines or do you use sandpaper? To get a good finish, ensure that the vehicle is stripped to its bare metal. 
  3. How do you do priming? What products do you use?
  4. How many coats of paint will you apply? Preferably, the garage should have a spray booth where the vehicle is sprayed under controlled conditions.
  5. What other special services does your garage offer? Some garages will provide ceramic coating and auto detailing services to give your car an exceptional look. 
  6. How much will it cost to paint the car? How long will it take to paint my vehicle?

Ask all of these questions when you are assessing a business for their auto spray painting services.

When looking for auto spray painters evaluate their reputation, experience, speciality, and professionalism.
