A friend asked Meow Brother to give him an idea, the car was scraped, whether to go to the 4S shop to repair the paint, or to go to the outside repair shop to repair the paint, Brother Meow also gave everyone a chat about the most realistic point of view.
Price difference
One of the biggest differences between the 4S shop and the repair shop outside is the price.
Generally speaking, in the 4S shop to repair paint, ordinary paint for 400 yuan a face, not excessive, slightly more expensive car, basically 800 ~ 1200 a face.
But the price of the outside repair shop is basically half that, so that's a big difference.
In terms of chromatic aberration
4S shop is not really better than the external paint effect, or the raw materials are better than some tools, to give you an analysis.
Paint repair is about the problem of color, because the color of car paint is very different, on the white subdivision, at least hundreds of white, not to mention other colors.
Especially like Mazda soul moving red, it is even more difficult to adjust, so the level of color grading determines the first level, and its paint quality is good or bad.
Because the paint level is good, the color difference is low, but it is impossible to achieve zero color difference.
Although there is now a computer color grading, the final fine-tuning still requires manual work.
But the real level of paint blenders is not in the 4S shop, because the 4S shop can't keep the high-level paint master, they all go out to open a store by themselves.
But you don't know, the same people who make up the paint know who has the highest level, and at this time they are too busy to win, and they will not go to the 4S shop to be a master.
So the color of your car, if it is a relatively rare color, especially difficult to adjust, if you have high requirements for color, then you can directly find your local repair, ask the best local painter where to open a shop, or let him refer him to the past and go there to do it.
Painting problems
What determines how good or bad the paint is is the level of the painter.
Because in the later stage, it is all manual painting and manual processing, from scraping putty to leveling, to sanding, to hand painting, all manually.
At this time, the spray paint master's hand is unstable, which determines whether the final paint effect is good or not, it looks flat, otherwise it feels uneven and not so shiny.
So this 4S shop has a certain difference from the outside, but the top masters will basically cooperate with the top colorists, and they all have a small circle.
Materials
Many 4S shops talk about using original paint, but in fact, when it is really spray paint, at least more than half will not be used to give you the promise, the so-called top original paint.
Unless your car is a special model like Rolls-Royce or something, particularly expensive.
A considerable part of it may be the same as the paint outside the spray shop, that is, the same supplier, because after spraying, they can't recognize it at all.
So the price of the original paint is collected, the so-called top paint, but in fact, the spray is exactly the same as the inside of the shop outside.
summary
So at this point, everyone understands that if you pay for it yourself, the requirements for paint are not particularly high, not the top paint, then you can go outside to find a repair shop to do it.
If you are particularly demanding, or pay for it yourself, then you ask the repair shop, directly to refer you, take you to your local area, or the place where you do the best in the city.
And now not every repair shop dares to paint, because the environmental requirements for painting are now very high.
All the paintmakers, pick up your repair shop, he probably doesn't do it himself, they're all outsourced, they're all painting in a fixed place.
Or you know it yourself, you can go over and find the top local master to do it.
If it is someone else's pocket, you yourself are not a very strict one, just an ordinary car, go to the 4S shop, although the 4S shop may use a medium master, the paint used is also medium paint, but you feel more comfortable.
