Why You Should Use An Auto Painting Professional

Wear and tear on any car is just a fact of life. Whether your car has been damaged in an accident or has been scratched up at the local shopping center, the body of any car can start to look pretty worn. Old cars, for example, often have faded areas of paint, dents, and scratches. They might even have rust spots and other areas of damage.

If you’re in this situation and you’re thinking of repainting your car, should you do it yourself or call in a professional? In the age of YouTube tutorial videos and Googled information, it’s incredibly tempting for someone to take on something like this all by themselves, but is it a good idea?

Should You See A Professional?

A great paint job is crucial to the look of any car, so it’s important to make sure it’s done right. This is when you might be well advised to contact us here at AAA Service Center in Dubai. We have a proper painting booth and the experience to get the job done right.

For anyone wanting to do it themselves, there are a number of challenges to seriously consider, including:

• Making sure all of the trim is removed before painting,
• Getting the right quality of paint,
• Preparing the surface properly for repainting,
• Color matching the paint if the factory color is desired,
• Dealing with hazardous materials and safety precautions.

Missing any one of these things can seriously affect the final quality of the paint job. Unless you want to waste time and money on repainting it yourself, it’s best to get a professional paint job done.

Why A Professional Can Do A Better Job

So, why should you bring your car to us here at AAA Service Center and why can we do a better job of repainting your car? Here’s the professional difference:

• Body preparation: This is where lots of amateurs fall down. Sanding back and preparing the body is crucial to a good final result. Any dents or defects will show up in the paint layers and mean the difference between an amateur job and one done by professionals. You just can’t cut corners in this step.
• The trim: The right way to prepare a car for repainting is to remove all of the trim first. Headlights, bumper bars and so on all need to be removed prior to the paint job. Many amateurs and lower end auto shops will simply use masking tape and paper over these areas. The problem with this is that the paint can accidentally go over some of the trim.
• The right equipment: Painting a car is about more than just the paint job itself. You need the right equipment to produce the right finish. There are also safety precautions to seriously consider, and a professional understands all of these requirements.
• Color and paint quality: There are lots of paints on the market these days and some of the best will actually provide a superior paint finish over an original factory job. If you’re doing it yourself or hiring someone who doesn’t have the experience, how do you know you’re getting the best paint for the job? Likewise, if you want to match the original color, the paint will need to be matched as closely as possible. In these areas, you simply can’t cut corners.
• Professional quality: It bears saying again: the difference between an amateur paint job and a professional one is big. Here at AAA Service Center in Dubai, we have trained professionals and a dedicated painting booth for the respray. We’ll spend as many hours as it takes to prepare the car body so that the final paint finish will look fresh and new.
