guys i'm going to have some panels of my car repainted probably next week kapag naging ok na weather... front bumper, trunk lid, quarter panels (yung sa rear left and right), medyo sun bleached part ng roof and maybe pati rear bumper na rin... mostly touch up/retoke lang naman just to make it look presentable.
ang problem ko po ngayon is kung ipa-3 step detail ko muna before the paint job? or the other way around -- paint then detail? nabasa ko po kasi somewhere here na di pa dapat galawin ang newly painted (car) part, should wait 2 months or something like that... was thinking detail muna para lumabas yung totoong malinis na kulay para bumagay sa bagong paint... pero sa totoo lang i really have no idea kung tama yun theory ko na yun... hehehe!
need inputs po... thanks in advance po!

October 8th, 2008 11:43 AM #2I would tend to think that having it detailed before repainting would be a good choice, to enable the painter to come close to the original color...
Good luck!

November 26th, 2008 06:02 PM #6paint then detail. the detail work might just get ruined after the paint job. waste of money.
if you're worried about getting the right color, follow what impulzz said... have a small area buffed to see the right color.
if you're car has a stock color (original paint from manufacturer), it should have a paint code. the painter would probably know this but you could research on it if you want to be sure.
newly painted cars should not be waxed within at least 2 months. this gives the paint time to dry, set and breathe. if you do wax it before 2 months, there is a possibility that the paint will rise or have bubbles.
if it still doesn't match the car color after the paint job, detailing could possibly resolve that.
