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 the rust removal you would find some empty holes on the surfaces. After sponge blasting, you would also have to filled those spaces with a high quality body filler and since this will also be used for a smoother surface in order to prepare the car for painting. Make sure you get only the good ones because they are easy to sand.

What you will do next is the sanding of the surfaces using a block which would facilitate in the application of pressure across the panel. If you do this without the block, then some fingermarks would be left on the body filler making the appearance uneven. You can start with a coarse grit until you progress to a finer one while spotting the imperfections you go along.

Upon starting the actual job, you can start at the inside portion of the vehicle and have it kept in a place where it will not be subjected to the rain and direct sunlight. You can secure a spacious garage for this project. Hanging some curtain or cloth can help keep out dust and particles suspended in air.

Keep your workplace in order because doing this step is crucial to the success for your project and thus maintenance of the cleanliness is necessary. Pick up all of the clutters to eliminate risks for tripping and accidents and the tools should be properly stored too. Only keep out the ones you are going to use and be sure to keep the whole place dust free.

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.

A base and clear paint system can work well and would be friendly to your budget and it can also be applied quickly and without a hassle. The luster of the car would also be great making it even shiner as it is good in hiding scratches form rocks as well as chips. This will also keep you from exerting much effort.

Having the right painting gun is your key to a good finish and go for the tool which will make the spraying easier to control and would expel equal amounts of paint. This will help you achieve a more even finish as air pressure as well as flash times would be different from one device to another. You should also obtain a pressure regulator to enure a well regulated sprayer and oil separator to avoid contaminants.
