2020 Nissan Altima- Hood Repaint

 This customer brought in their 2020 Nissan Altima for a hood repaint. We reconditioned the "delaminating" or peeling paint on the front left corner. Per the customer's request we masked off the trim and headlights to reduce cost. Once the sanding was completed and the paint was cured we removed the masking tape and the hood looked as good as new!

1995 Honda Accord with Microchecked Paint

Almost Everything Auto Body technician masking a car prior to paint.

This 1995 Honda Accord was still performing well when it came to us in 2019. But the paint looked like hell! The paint had develop a problem called microchecking. Over time microchecking leads to paint failure and rusting. It is characterized by small cracks (or "checks") in the paint. They look like lots of small razor cuts and are usually the result of temperature extremes. So it is common to first see the problem over the car's radiator where the paint experiences the most extremes of heating and cooling. The cracks allow water to get under the paint so metal body parts start rusting.

This post provides a very nice photo progression of the car going through sanding and masking processes in the shop.
