Learning All About Automotive Paint

Hello, I'm Bernadette Zupan, but you can call me NeeNee. I am excited to use this site to explore the wide world of auto body paint services. When my first car was chipped in a parking lot, I was very irritated. The other driver did not stop and leave contact information, so I had to rely on my own policy. Unfortunately, the deductible far outweighed the cost of the repairs. I decided to do the work myself. During that process, I learned so much about the different types of paint used on automobiles. My favorites are metallic, candy and pearl finishes. I would like to share information that will inspire people to take an interest in their vehicle's finish. I will also explore ways to preserve the paint job for years. Thanks.
