Thinking about a fresh coat of paint for your vehicle? Repainting your car can boost its value and appearance, but there’s more to it than picking a color. Here’s what you should know before scheduling your paint job.
Paint Doesn’t Fix Everything
Paint is great for restoring shine, but it won’t cover up major damage. Deep scratches, dents, rust, or gouges often require bodywork before painting. A reputable auto body repair shop like Mathews Auto Body will assess your vehicle first, remove old paint, and repair any underlying issues before applying the new coat.
Repainting Can Boost Value
Planning to sell or trade in your car? A fresh paint job can increase its value—especially if your current finish is faded or scratched. A quality repainting job helps your vehicle stand out and look well-maintained.
It Takes Time
Auto painting isn’t a quick process. Expect your vehicle to be in the shop for at least a week. Proper prep is crucial: technicians remove oxidized paint layers and may even remove interior components like seats, the dashboard, or console to ensure full protection during the repainting process.
