Expert Q&A: Autobody Painting Process

Marc & Mandy

Marc & Mandy

In this episode of The Marc and Mandy Show, Franco Borrelli from Hallmark Autobody explains the process of autobody painting.
 
Q: What steps does Hallmark Autobody take when painting a vehicle?
Franco Borrelli: The first stage is surface preparation. All areas that require refinishing must be primed, sanded, and masked. Once the surface is primed with a fine grit sandpaper, the adjacent areas are masked off to prevent any kind of overspray from falling on the vehicle. The second step is color selection. Each vehicle has a specific paint code. Once the painter identifies the paint code, she will enter the paint code into a computerized database. At that point in time, the painter will decide what paint is suitable to use and whether she should tint the color or apply it as is. The third step is washing and cleaning the surface. This is an extremely important step. The fourth step is base coat or color application. Typically, it takes two to three coats of color for proper coverage.

  3. I know understand why cars are so expensive due to the serious amount of work if it takes in putting them together, and also keeping them in good condition.
