What to check before hiring a auto painting

Don't let rust spread — the earlier you intervene, the smaller the repair area and the lower the cost.
Photograph the damage before leaving the car at the workshop, for reference.
Ask to see previous work by the painter or read reviews from other customers.
Polishing and waxing the car after painting extends the paint's lifespan.
If using insurance, check whether you can choose your own workshop or are limited to approved service centers.
Clean the car before bringing it to the paint shop so the painter can properly assess the surface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have the car painted a different color than the original?

Yes, but it requires updating the registration documents (RAR procedure). The cost includes both the painting and the legal documentation.

Are eco-friendly paints available?

Yes, water-based paints are increasingly used and are less harmful to the environment. Ask the painter about available options.

How long does professionally applied paint last?

Professionally applied paint with primer and clear coat lasts 5–10 years or more if the car is properly maintained.

Can rust be fixed with painting?

Yes, but rust must be treated correctly before painting: the affected surface is fully cleaned, treated with anti-corrosion product, and only then is paint applied. Untreated rust comes back under the paint.

What types of paint do auto painters use?

Most commonly two-component polyurethane (2K) paints are used, offering durability and a higher-quality finish compared to standard acrylic paints.

Can I request a warranty for the paint job?

Professional painters usually offer a 6–12 month warranty for labor. Ask for the warranty in writing.
