• Auto paint prep

Involves thorough cleaning, surface preparation, and masking to ensure a flawless paint job. This includes washing, sanding, removing contaminants, and applying primer before painting.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of auto paint prep:

1. Initial Cleaning & Preparation:

Thorough Washing:

Start by washing the vehicle with a good quality automotive soap and water to remove dirt, grime, and loose debris.

Remove Contaminants:

Use a degreaser or wax and grease remover to eliminate any oil, wax, or other contaminants that could prevent paint adhesion.

Remove Loose Parts:

Take off any loose or removable parts like door handles, emblems, or trim before painting to ensure a clean and professional finish.

2. Surface Preparation:

Sanding:

Sand the surface to prepare it for paint, using progressively finer grits of sandpaper (e.g., 180-grit, 320-grit, 400-grit, or 600-grit) to remove imperfections and create a smooth, even surface.

Bare Metal vs. Primer:

Depending on the desired outcome, you can sand down to bare metal, the original primer, or just sand the existing paint to create a good surface for the new paint to adhere to.

Edge Sanding:

Pay extra attention to sanding the edges of panels, as paint is more likely to peel or crack from areas where the paint edge was not properly prepared.

3. Masking:

Automotive Masking Tape: Use high-quality automotive masking tape (like 3M or Clipper) to protect areas that shouldn't be painted.

Masking Technique: Mask around edges and seams to ensure a clean and professional finish.

4. Final Prep:

Clean Surfaces:

After sanding and masking, wipe down the prepared surfaces with a clean rag and thinner to remove any remaining dust or debris.

Primer Application:

Apply a coat of automotive primer to the prepared surfaces to create a smooth, even base

for the topcoat.

Prep All:

Before painting, use a product like "Prep All" to remove any remaining grease, wax, and debris, ensuring a clean surface for the paint to adhere to.
