Sanding The next step in preparing the surface of your vehicle for auto body painting is sanding. This stage is a vital component of the painting process because sanding smoothens the surface, which provides the best conditions for the paint to form a durable and beautiful layer. For the new coat of paint to be applied, the surface must be spotless. Apple Valley Barstow Auto Body team will sand the vehicle all the way to the bare metal to ensure the best results. Cleaning is another step our professionals take to prepare your ride before painting. Denatured alcohol or mineral spirits are used to remove any oil residue which may interfere with the coating process. Based on your preferred design, Barstow Auto Body in Apple Valley will then cover certain areas of the vehicle’s surface to create an unforgettable design.

Priming To prime the surface of your vehicle, the Apple Valley team will apply corrosion-resistant and self-etching primer. This substance will prepare the sanded metal for the top coat. Once the primer cures, Barstow Auto Body in Apple Valley carefully sands the surface before wiping it with the necessary amount of thinner.

Step #5

Painting The painting process begins after all the needed preparations have been completed. Barstow Auto Body team in Apple Valley uses the spray gun to apply three to four layers of paint. With the side-to-side sweeping motion, we ensure that each coat is thin and is applied evenly to create a design that truly stands out. The drying time usually depends on the type of paint used and ranges from 20 minutes to one hour. To avoid any residue, before the last coat is applied, Barstow Auto Body Apple Valley branch team sands and wipes the surface once again. Using the same technique, the lacquer thinner is then sprayed. After the masking tape is removed, the last step in the process is buffing of the painted surfaces.
