Why is car painting so expensive?

Some car owners think that car paint is expensive because the car body has scratches, so why is car paint so expensive? There are several main reasons why car paint is expensive. Let's talk about it in the following small series.

1. It has something to do with the brand of the car.

As we all know, the quality of different brands of cars is different, and the cost of car maintenance is also different. There are three kinds of car paints we usually contact: ordinary paint, metallic paint and pearlescent paint. Different brands of cars use different paint grades. Good cars usually use metallic paint or pearlescent paint, so those luxury cars on the road are particularly bright in color, so the price of touch-up paint will vary greatly, ranging from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

It depends on what store you go to.

Touch-up paint needs a dust-free environment, so as not to see the impurities in the paint to be touched up. The construction cost of dust-free workshop is very expensive, and ordinary roadside repair shops do not have such conditions.

S shop does touch-up paint, generally using the original paint that matches the car model, and calculating the working hours. The price of touch-up paint per square meter ranges from several hundred to several thousand yuan, so everyone thinks that touch-up paint in 4S shop is particularly expensive.

Ordinary garage with ordinary paint, sheet metal repainting 200 per square meter-300 yuan. The cheapest touch-up paint in Wang Ge is 150 yuan. If you drive hundreds of thousands of cars, you will go to an ordinary garage to touch up the paint. Look carefully after the repair, the paint has color difference. This is what we call a penny for a penny.

3. Working hours are expensive.

Automobile spray paint is a volatile toxic substance, which will cause harm to human body if inhaled too much. Automobile paint contains toxic chemical components such as benzene, and improper protection will cause serious harm to human body.

Therefore, car painting is a very dangerous job, and the relative working hours are higher.

4. Process

Car paint is usually baking paint. In the process of automobile production, the frame and body are welded together. After the body is repaired by hand, the next process is painting. Generally speaking, the first is the primer. Immerse the body-in-white in a syrup-like paint tank and take out the dry primer; Then send it to the dust-free workshop, spray the top coat with electrostatic spraying process, and then dry it at about 200 degrees. Some will be coated with another layer of varnish. In this way, the painting process is completed.
