In our daily driving, we often encounter minor scratches and paint loss, which requires touch-up paint. What are the differences between factory paint and paint repaired at a 4S shop? Which type of automotive paint is better?
1. The layers of paint included are different.
Factory paint undergoes strict processes during production. It includes four parts: the electrophoretic layer, the primer layer, the color layer, and the clear coat layer. However, the 4S shop's process does not reach this standard; it only includes the last three layers. This leads to fading over time, making the paint repaired by the 4S shop different from the factory paint.
2. The baking temperatures are different.
Factory automotive paint is baked in a special workshop at a temperature of about 190 degrees during production. Since it is the car frame being baked, there is no need to consider the temperature tolerance of the interior. However, the touch-up paint at the 4S shop must consider the interior environment of the car, so the baking temperature cannot be too high. Therefore, the finish of factory paint is better than that of touch-up paint.
3. How to touch up automotive paint after a scratch.
In fact, the automotive paint from the 4S shop is quite similar to factory paint, with only slight differences in the touch-up process. When our car encounters a scratch, it is still best to choose a reputable 4S shop for touch-up paint. Their operating environment and processes are guaranteed, making them much better than roadside repair shops. The 4S shops purchase professional repair paint from manufacturers, which is more effective than the color-matching done by roadside repair shops.
Factory paint is stronger in color and corrosion resistance compared to touch-up paint. Although factory paint is good, a car only has the opportunity to be sprayed with factory paint at the time of production. Therefore, everyone should be careful while driving daily to avoid scratches. In case of an accident, make sure to go to a reputable 4S shop for automotive paint touch-up.
