After spraying a door, it appears to be less glossy.

[Casey]

Hi Guys,

 

I recently went to panel beat a door and respray. But i found the glossy/shine of that particular door appear to be more dull than other parts of the body.

 

What could be the reason? is it the paintwork not done well? or the "shine" material didnt apply enough?

Sometimes, colour mix may be close but not the same.

Better to respray the whole car.

 

Why don't you try polishing and see.

Sounds like the paint work wasn't done well. Was it a rush job?

[Espire]

the type of paint used could be the reason.

wch is why u can get quote at the range of 800-1800 approximately for spraying of whole car.

the type of paint used determine the cost.

 

for my understanding, y2k dupont is quite a good paint.

[Nighthawkcity]

yes.. like there are many types of black..

i wont know the exact details but its quite obvious when in the sun

i called the workshop, they ask me to send the car down again =)

 

respray the whole car?? i dont dare sia. really, original paint is the best. If not for the really dent, almost half the door i wont go to respray

i didnt rush them leh, i send in 3pm friday, collect 7pm sat...is this a rush?

 

The shine is like buff, like machim coating not enuff...do they need to apply a coat of shine after paint respray?

[Casey]

they using PPG, is this a better pdt? or normal standard
