Zimbrick Body Shops

Whether your car paint job was damaged in an accident or you just want to change up the look of your vehicle to keep things fresh and exciting, getting the job done right at a professional auto paint shop is essential. In the guide below, we’ll go over the process our team follows so you know what to expect when you come in for a visit.

Prepping and Priming

Before we work on the paint job itself, there’s plenty of work to do to get your vehicle ready for the steps that follow. We’ll take time to thoroughly clean the vehicle, so no debris causes issues with the finished paint job.

Our team will also apply a coat of primer and sealant to ensure the best results when the paint is applied. We only use high-quality products at this and every step of the process to ensure your vehicle drives off looking its best.

Applying the Base Coat

Once the primer and sealant are down, we’re ready to begin the process of painting your vehicle. We’ll start by applying a base coat that will help the follow-up coats to adhere to the vehicle.

One perk of working with us is that we pride ourselves on the sustainability of our work. We use the most eco-friendly products available to give your vehicle the aesthetic you desire without causing unnecessary damage to the environment.

Reinforcing the Paint Job

After the initial coat is finished, our technicians will apply a clear polyurethane coat over that layer. This additional reinforcement adds a layer of protection to the base paint layer. This will protect your vehicle from weather elements, scratches, and other factors that might damage your paint job if the vehicle wasn’t adequately protected.

Polishing to Perfection

To finalize the work on your vehicle, we’ll polish the vehicle to a glossy finish. This final step adds a lustrous appeal to your vehicle that will have it looking good as new. The quality polish we use will last over time, so you can enjoy the refreshed appearance of your vehicle for longer.

Why Our Process Matters

While not everyone follows the stringent requirements we do at our professional car paint shop, we believe the quality of our work speaks for itself. By taking the time to follow each of these steps and treating your vehicle with the care it deserves, we give you the results you desire for your vehicle. Taking extra steps to protect that paint job will keep those results lasting throughout your time on the road.
