Applying Sikkens car paint
There's more to a successful bodywork job than just applying paint. In fact, the operation requires preparation for a beautiful finish and a result that's as good as new. Painting is just one stage in the process, and there are a number of things you need to do to ensure that your vehicle looks as good as it looks, and that the bodywork lives up to your customers' expectations.
To begin with, it's essential to prepare the surface to be painted, which needs to be cleaned, degreased, filled and repaired to ensure a smooth finish after painting. You'll also take care of the bodywork if it has any defects. Secondly, you apply your paint after mixing it with your additives, thinners or adjusters to regulate its viscosity, depending on your needs and the desired result. Sikkens products are renowned for their quick drying and almost invisible blending repair. So applying your paint will be child's play. Remember to use a spraygun with an HVLP cap to spray your Autowave waterborne basecoat.
Finally, you can finish off by polishing or using a cream polish. You can also apply a clearcoat for an even more robust, protected look. Colorbox also offers products to complement your car bodywork work.
