Refresh Your SUV and Save Money
Summary
Is your SUV's finish looking worse for wear due to bird droppings or the passing seasons? Perhaps you're just itching for a change in color or want to enhance the vehicle's appeal for a potential sale. While a quality automotive paint job can be costly, there are ways to reduce expenses without compromising on quality. Instead of opting for quick-fix painting services, consider investing in a professional job and doing some prep work yourself to save money.
Paint Job Considerations
A cheap paint job often results in low-quality outcomes, where areas like chrome details and locks end up painted over. The saying "you get what you pay for" definitely applies here. To ensure your car's appearance matches the image you want to portray, it's worth investing in a proper paint job. Fortunately, 86% of the cost goes into preparation, which means you can cut costs significantly by handling some tasks yourself.
How to Prepare Your Vehicle
1. Research Paint Shops: Discuss with a chosen shop what prep work you can do to reduce the painting cost. Many shops offer discounts if you can handle tasks like:
- Removing chrome parts.
- Cleaning the surface thoroughly, ensuring old wax and grease are gone.
2. Surface Cleaning: Use a good wax and grease remover in a well-ventilated space. For more stubborn residues, careful use of scrubbing pads or abrasive cleaners can help, but be cautious to avoid scratching chrome or glass.
3. Smooth Out Imperfections: Feathering scratches and paint chips is crucial. Begin sanding with 80 or 100 grit sandpaper and gradually progress to 220 grit for smooth finishes.
4. Masking Areas: Some shops might allow you to mask areas yourself, using painter's tape to cover sections that shouldn't be painted. Confirm that doing so won't void any guarantees from the shop.
Final Thoughts
Exploring ways to trim costs in vehicle painting doesn't mean sacrificing quality. By taking proactive steps, like participating in prep work, you can ensure your SUV not only looks great but also retains its value. Your vehicle is a reflection of you, so make sure it presents the image you desire. Always inquire with professionals about cost-saving measures; it never hurts to ask.
