Hi, I believe there are different quality for different brand of car paint, my workshop is using Kansai brand, but after some years, the fading of polish and paint is really great, refer pic. What brand of paint do workshop use that is better, of course they will try to buy the cheaper one but we want brand with reasonable quality and price

the exact brand & no of the factory paint used shud b inscripted on a metal plate in the engine bay along with the engine/chassis no etc

if it's the paint peeling it's prolly cos the workshop din use primer, jus directly spray paint then lacquer to save $

cheap thing no good ; good thing wont cheap

and new paint no matter how also cannot be as good as factory paint

edges sure will peel or fade

I know the inscribed paint spec but for me I can't expect a normal workshop to use the original paint which should be expensive, but at least give me a reasonable price and quality paint

need to spray a clear coat on top of paint, probably the workshop no good :X

I saw this poon auto body and paints from youtube, dono good or not

kansai is an ok Brand for car paint

but ofc the shop probably did not do the painting properly and rushed the job

Cheapo clear coat (quick dry)

i'm curious, issit possible to make it matte finish paint?

Not fond of the lapik plastik type to make it matte coz sekali scratched, the whole layer kena replace which is not the best buck. Maybe i am wrong on this.

if u ask me, it's not the paint...it's the clear coat

if got money, use glasurit high solid(if not wrong the highest u can get)

You can't rely just the paint quality, the result of a paint job also depends on how skillful is the painter. Did they prepare the surface properly? Did they spray evenly? Did they allow the paint dry in a proper environment?

Go kedai logam buy Anchor ⚓ spray paint,amik no.1

and i thought this is cap ayam/parrot!

or they didn't follow proper overcoating period on the paint's technical data sheet, bad chemical bonding and only rely on mechanical bonding between layers

Even if they used aikka, if the blend is not correct, and the layer not enough will happen one. High quality paint is also cheap. But good workmanship hard to find.

Workmanship is more important than paint.

I remembered I had an accident in my mom's car and after repair, both door which had repaint start to show sanding marks. At first I blame the dog but then I cant feel anything even when running my nails over it. Some said its because of the putty they used to level everything.

quality paint cheap? Painting cost easily more than half of the cost for dent repair rather ketuk body is not expensive

A lot of ppl dunno this and spray painter use this shortcut to save cost. All the paint on plastic bumper falling off first
