Repainting car: How to inspect the work?


Recommended Posts

Hello detailers,

 

The entire passenger side of my car was keyed and it is currently at the body shop. They are going to sand down and repaint the entire passenger side and connecting panels. I was told it will be done tomorrow afternoon (Friday).

 

Can you give me some tips on what to look for when I pickup the car tomorrow? I have searched autopia but it is a huge website and I'm having trouble finding answers. I am partially color blind so I am afraid I will accept the work that was done and later find out something is wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you!!

Gian

enough zip ties and duct tape will fix anything.

Look for overspray on anything that isn't supposed to be painted. A lot of body guys are lazy or drunk and it shows in their attention to details. (Yeah, I know, I'll pay for that generalization.)
It is still ugly.

Paint runs, more orange peel than factory paint (Is that possible? :lol:), consistency with the rest of the paint from all angles, and no swirls/buffer burn.

 

Depending on what lighting you are in some things are hard to catch.
