I have paint on the side of my new car and i think it is from new road markings?

My car is navy metalick and this is white spots if it is from road marking how can i remove it safly can any one help or what should i useI have paint on the side of my new car and i think it is from new road markings?
Don't remove it yourself! Take pictures of it as evidence, and contact the local council. They should clean up the damage.I have paint on the side of my new car and i think it is from new road markings?
i would say go to your local halfords store who will be able to advise the best course of action, but other than that some thing like tar remover will be just as good. hope this helps
White spirit normally does the trick, but the sooner you do it the better.
use a mothers clay bar





25 year detailer
Apparently you can actually wash it off as it will peel (I have 2 friends who work in the business)


You should only have gotten paint from the road markings if you were right next to the painter as he was laying the paint down though as once down it does not splatter :O)

Does pep boys or auto zone have car touch up paint?

Does anyone know if pepboys or autozone or any other place that have car touch up paint around South Pasadena,CA. And how would i find out exactly what color my Mercedes 560sl is? Heres a pic of the color http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co鈥?/a>Does pep boys or auto zone have car touch up paint?
look for the paint code under the hood of the car and take the code with you to NAPA auto parts and they can order paint for you or you could go to the mercedes dealer and get it.Does pep boys or auto zone have car touch up paint?
I recommend getting the exact match paint at a dealer's parts department. The paint sold at places like Pep Boys is ';generic'; and won't match as well.
they have touch up paint but it wont be the same one to match your car. go to the dealer for that.
the dealer can tell you the correct color and sell you a tube of touchup paint.
sure most parts store do have it its just finding the right color.. best you try a dealer

WD-40, Effect on Car Paint?

Will the use of WD-40 on a car's body damages its paint?WD-40, Effect on Car Paint?
WD-40 won't hurt car paint whatsoever.WD-40, Effect on Car Paint?
I just used to to get tar off my paint and my dad has used it on paint for years. Never had a problem, I don't think it is as harsh as Bug and Tar Remover and thats used on cars all the time.
NOT UNLESS YOU APPLY IT WITH STEEL WOOL


We used kerosene or diesel in the old days when wax wasnt available to make em shine.
Nope
I've used it on door hinges and such for years and have never seen any evidence of paint damage.
no it will not damage it.

  • Car Paint Faded (Mazda)?

    Hello


    I have 1992 Mazda 626 (Blueish Greenish in colour)


    AND ALL THE PAINT IS FADED


    The car is a great car runs fantastic but it looks so friggen bad!!!


    I live in NSW/ACT Australia


    I was wondering if anyone knew how much it would cost me to get the car sprayed or some other alternative option i can do about the paint.





    any other help would be appreciated


    Thank youCar Paint Faded (Mazda)?
    It isn't worth it. Just try some Nufinish and drive it around until the wheels fall off.


    Noone expects an 18 year old Mazda to look nice, anyways.Car Paint Faded (Mazda)?
    if you have the time to do it yourself you can use a rubbing compound with a power buffer and use lighter and lighter grit till you get a smooth finish. then polish and wax and your good. or take your car to a detailer and ask what they would charge to ';cut'; your paint which will take off the oxidized layers and take it down to a like new look. its cheaper then repainting thats for sure
    dude, I have the exact same problem with my 1996 mazda millenia in florida, usa. the car runs like a champ but the paint is toast. It's black so I just sanded and repainted the parts that looked really bad. It still looks crap but not totally crap like before.

    White paint on car? How do I get off?

    What could I use to get some white paint off of a car, it is coming off when I scrape it with a penny.White paint on car? How do I get off?
    Get a clay bar and get to work, will take the over spray off and leave your finish unharmed.White paint on car? How do I get off?
    ';Mother's California clay bar'; and LOTZ of elbow grease! it will leave your paint in better condition than you have ever seen!





    After giving the entire body a good clay polish, follow it up with a coating of high tech Polymer or Teflon based polish to protect the finish from future attacks from the painters, birds, tree sap and other assorted forms of fallout which assault your pretty metal.
    Use some light polishing compound followed by a good quality wax. I have done this several times.

    Touch up paint for your car?

    Can anyone tell me the best way to use touch up paint on your car for small scratches and get the best resultsTouch up paint for your car?
    The 3m sticks are good, but not great for this reason; after a few years in the sun your paint fades and then you add the new ';factory color'; paint and it'll be darker. for small scratches, especially all over a vehicle, you can use scratch x, or other scratch removers, a buffer to buff it on and then a new pad to buff it off, and then use something like ';Ice'; wax by turtle wax. It fills in pretty good and leaves a good shine.Touch up paint for your car?
    you can use these things called ez dabbers made by 3m. They are a stick with a tiny microfiber like tip. Touch up the area, wet sand the touch up with 1500 or higher wetsanding paper. Be careful don't wet sand too much and then buff and wax the area out. Good Luck. You may also want to have a detail shop do that for you.
    OK, you might not like my answer but here it goes... Don't do it yourself because you don't always get the results you want. rather take it to a professional place and pay the little bit to do it properly
    buff out the scratches and paint over it with primer and paint

  • Is it ok to paint your car chrome i mean is it illegal?

    It is illegal to have totally chrome car, for the simple reason that it is very blinding in the sunlight to other driver around you. The reflection can cause all kinds of accidents. This is partilly the reason they stopped making chrome bumpers.Is it ok to paint your car chrome i mean is it illegal?

    How does spray paint work on an a car?

    how does it work on a car. a detailed answer please. i need itHow does spray paint work on an a car?
    How does spray paint work on a car? You spray it on to the car body. Car paint dries, you have new colour(s) on car.How does spray paint work on an a car?
    Air spray: air is passed thru a venturi to draw paint up into the airflow where it is atomized and carried away by the airflow-towards where-ever the airflow is going, the paint ';dries';-actually sets-later.





    Airless spray. The paint cannister is pressurized, forcing the paint out thru the nozzle into the air.





    both systems use a spray nozzle which sprays a narrow band of paint,and have an interruptor valve to turn the paint flow off when not required to reduce waste.





    Spray painting is an advanced art, and good painters are hard to find, and well paid.
    Give a more detailed question so that we have an idea of what you're looking for.

    When finishing a model car 1/24th scale about the paint?

    I know you can rub it with wax to get a better show quality shine, but what do you rub it with . What kind of wax and especially what kind of cloth so the paint is not damagedWhen finishing a model car 1/24th scale about the paint?
    Hobby stores sell special wax and polishing cloths made just for plastic models.If you are supper fussy then buying a kit like a ';NOVUS'; polishing kit also at a hobby shop is the way to go.It involves progressive grit sanding sheets and a polish.You start with the coarsest sheet and work up to the finest one then you apply the polish.But The cost and effort required is usually reserved for models in contests and shows.When finishing a model car 1/24th scale about the paint?
    A regular automotive wax will work. A very soft cloth, like a cloth diaper will work, just don't rub as hard.

    What type of paint can i use to airbrush on a car?

    also what type of thinner should i use and can i buy stencils for this jobWhat type of paint can i use to airbrush on a car?
    depends on the paint the car was painted in last, if its baked enamel then you can use acrylic or 2 pack, if its 2 pack then use 2 pack only.





    The area you are spraying will need to be rubbed back with 1200 or micro paper first, then whole job will need to be clear coated.





    check with your auto paint supplier for stencils etc.What type of paint can i use to airbrush on a car?
    there's two schools of thought


    waterbased


    or


    urethane





    either or, if we're just talking graphics here, scuff the entire area (the entire panel that's going to be painted) with 600-800 grit wet dry sandpaper or a red scotchbrite.


    This provides a mechanical bond, not a chemical one.


    Prep the surface with a degreaser, and again with mineral spirits.


    Do the graphics using Auto Air, Golden or the urethane of your choice. Follow up with a high quality clear coat, preferably done by a pro.

    its me again, has this tape bene there a long long time? cause wd40 should do it no problem. the chemicals in the wd40 soften the glue and I removed decals from the sides of trailers with the heat trick.
    Use your hairdryer on high setting to melt the adhesive of the tape and it will fall off easily. It won't damage the paint. Then give the car a good wax.
    I would use kerosene or WD-40 , they both will cut the adhesive. Once you get the adhesive cleaned off, wax the area.
    WD40 is supposed to work. Try a test in a non visible part of the car. Let it sit a few minutes, then wipe off.
    Goo gone or go to your local automotive paint supply store and buy some adhesive remover.

    Car paint job needed- but not for car- crazy question?

    This Q is for people that perform paint jobs on cars OR for pole dance professionals!!


    I bought a very expensive dance pole. It is made of chrome finish stainless steel. It is way too slick for use. I should have bought a brass finish and thought of selling my pole and buying another...but honestly who would buy a used pole. So my other option it to have a non slip finish applied to my less than 1 yr old stainless steel pole. Thought came to mind- car paint job. Car painters- can you apply any sort of non slick paint, primer, or the like to a 7 foot tall stainless steel pole? Think outside the box for this one- can it be done? Would it last for a year, for ever? Would it stick to chrome? Would it be less than buying a new pole- ha ha not worth it if it is very costly.


    And hilarious Q- what would the maco man say if I came in with a dance pole!!


    Any and all ideas welcome.Car paint job needed- but not for car- crazy question?
    see if you can sell it like on ebay or craigslist.org. If not then maybe scuff up the pole the an abrasive wired wheel and then maybe wax it.





    To have it painted, they will scuff it also in order for the paint to stick. I would scuff it and leave the dull finish.

    Where can i paint my car black its blue right now but im trying to find a good place i only got 400?

    If you only have $400, you should be saving it for something like car maintenance or repairs instead of car color change, don;t let the money burn a hole in your pocket to get something cheaply that costs tremendously more. Be responsible and put it in a savings account.Where can i paint my car black its blue right now but im trying to find a good place i only got 400?
    I had a small truck painted a few years back, The paint and products cost over $1000, plus another $1500 for labor sparing the paint, and that wasn't even their best package, some of their pant jobs went into the 10's of thousands. It looked good from a distance and even close up, but if you got right up you could see many little imperfections in the paint. For $400 you would be getting a Canadian Tire spray paint paint job. Nothing fancy, many major flaws, and would only look good in the dark.Where can i paint my car black its blue right now but im trying to find a good place i only got 400?
    1 day paint or earl sheib but I advice you to do some prep work your self. remove the various emblems remove the grill etc to insure the best possible from the paint. if you want a bit better have them add a cote or 2 of extra clear coat as I believe it will be within your budget. clear coat is very important for longer durability.

    It usually doesn't work well to use a can, not enough coverage quick enough. By the time you are done with one side the other side will be dry, and the overspray will not ';melt in'; Don't use rustoleum, or any store brand. at least go to a real auto paint store and get the paint from them. hardware store paint will not work!!! dont waste your time, or money. Go to the library to get a book on painting, or look up advice to do it. The first time may not turn out, you might have to let it dry, and re-spray it once you get the hang of it.I need to paint my car hood at home?
    Well, don't expect great results doing this with rattle can paint... But, if you use Krylon or Dupli-Color and prep the hood well before applying the primer, it will come out ok. If you have the money to do so, prime , paint and then clear coat the hood with a good quality urethane clear.





    This will make the paint shine better and hold up to sunlight and weather better.





    Good luck
    Check these 2 websites. Both specialize in rattle can painting.
    use rustolium but be sure to give it about 3 coats and then another 4 of a clear gloss coating

    I have small scratches on my 2008 Civic bumper, and the paint came off and some areas are peeling. My uncle says that there is no point in repainting with that touch up paint stuff because the bumper is made of plastic and the paint will not bond as well, and that I should leave it because plastic will not rust...is this true? Should I just leave it?About Honda car paint...?

    there are places that will paint bumpers.
    The cheap way is to get a can of clearcoat at a parts store and spray a thin layer on it to prevent it from getting worse. The paint has to have a flex additive, so your uncle is right.

    cheapest between 200-250.a good painjob is around 400-450.
    if the original paint is in good condition then leave it alone because a repaint is not as good as the original paint unless you pay for lots of prep. work that costs more than the car is worth.
    $ 190 - GOOD $ 290 - SUPER JOB $ 450
    all depends how high of a quality of paint you choose and how much body work is required
    First of all , don't type so LOUD!


    Secondly, paint jobs depend on who paints it and how good a quality job they do, as well as, your choice in color/paint could cost several hundred dollars itself, not counting reducer, supplies, etc.


    All colors of paint are damn expensive!


    I'd say $1500 bucks should be low end job price, but more money buys a better look.


    They may cut you a deal if you help by removing headlights, grille, tailstuff, blinkers, etc, and help with the sanding.


    Do some research where you live.


    Ask friends who to get and call bodyshops for prices.
    Call paint shops and ask them.
    A proper complete paint job will run at least $1500 if you change color. This is because to do it right they pretty much have to be gutted to get in the door jambs, fenders, trunk/hatch, etc. Very labor intensive. Not really worth it because changing the color won't increase resale value.

    How much would it cost to get my car painted? for example a dodge charger...

    starting price for any good paint job now days is around 1200 bucks and it goes higher depending on what all has to be done to it,and what all you want done,the paint alone will cost well over 400 bucks just to do one color with,and any body work is extra ,i have a friend that's in the paint and body business and he has a real good reputation on doing complete paint jobs his starting price is around 12-1400 and it goes on up,you get what you pay for these days with a paint job,if its a cheap job then thats what you,ll wind up with,good luck.How much would it cost to get my car painted? for example a dodge charger...
    depends on if you want to change the color or just get the same color re-painted if you want to change the color your looking at $2,000 + if not and you just need it painted the same color then you could be looking as cheep as $200 + then you have to look at if there is any body damage that will need to be repaired if so you will have to add in the cost of that as wellHow much would it cost to get my car painted? for example a dodge charger...
    One of the first questions to ask is whether you are keeping the same color or changing it. A basic paint job (same color) will run about $1500. If you need any corrective work (minor dents, body alignment, etc) you will be closer to $2000-$2500. This is a BASIC job. A nice paint job, same color, will run $3500-$4000. Changing color adds around $1000-$1500 or so to the cost because of the extra prep work involved. A lot of the labor cost in painting is in the prep work.
    depends on the paint you want and where you want your car painted?


    exterior and/or interior


    also how many stages you want


    could cost alot


    since your car is big
    Anywhere from $1000-$25000. Just depends on the quality of the paint and the quality of the paint job.
    a good grand or two, but worth it

    You're asking for two different things. They aren't compatible. A nice paint job isn't cheap. Yes you can get a cheap paint job at Maaco or Earl Scheibs but you won't like the looks when you're closer than 30 to 40 feet and you really won't like the looks after a while when they start to come off. You get what you pay for. If you get a cheap paint job buy a pair of dark glasses to go with it.

    Take it to a shop and have them professionally touch it up.
    First you need to take it to a couple body shops and make sure that the primer is still there, if not it will need to be repainted by a pro - or it will rust fast.





    If it did not get to the primer, then a touch up wetsanding and a good buffing will make it like new.

    I've heard you can't paint a car bumper. What's up with that?

    I have an older car, and someone hit my bumper pretty hard. I just painted and sanded it with acrylic model paint, 99 cents, and sprayed over it with Rustoleum Clear Enamel. I didn't spend much time trying to blend it in, but from ten feet away it looks good enough. Why can't professional body shops paint a bumper?I've heard you can't paint a car bumper. What's up with that?
    Where did you hear that, its completely untrue!





    Nevertheless, painting flexible auto body parts is a pain in the butt. As you may have noticed when hit hard the paint cracks.





    A shop would have to strip all the paint off with special and expensive paint remover (regular strippers can ruin plastic and new paint job from absobtion of chemicals) or remove it by media blasting(which is also problematic). So it is more cost effective and there is less chance of trouble down the road to just replace the bumper (especially if they can use a crappy aftermarket replacement).





    So, the truth is you most certainly can re-paint flexible bumpers, its just body shops know better than to mess with it. I think they just don't want to bother explaining it to you because they aren't going to do it anyways so, they just say it can't be done.





    The job you did is ok for you to do but, i assure you it will not hold up, so you can just redo it, shops don't like redoing work for free.I've heard you can't paint a car bumper. What's up with that?
    If your talking about a solid chrome bumper they are crome plated wich is electoplated using electric and water. but basically its melted on.
    Some won't just paint a bumper because there is quite a bit of impact absorbing material inside the bumper. I believe it's just polystyrene. Wne you get hit in the bumper, the polystyrene breaks apart to absorb the impact. If the bumper has been hit hard enough to damage it, the polystyrene is probably shattered and should be replaced so that it will properly absorb impact if you get hit again.
    professionals don't wanna paint a bumber because they can charge you more if they put a new one on.
    if you find someone with to know how and is willing to. almost any car part can be painted

    How should I prep a used car before selling? Detailing, New Tires, Paint?

    This is the first time I'm selling my car. I have a 1999 Honda Accord with 160K miles. It's been in one accident (Front End Rebuilt). Other Issues include: Missing hub cap, cigarette burns on drivers seat, minor scratches, dirty floor mats. Kelly Blue Book Value is $4330 for Fair and $5050 for Good.





    Is it worth investing into the car before selling?How should I prep a used car before selling? Detailing, New Tires, Paint?
    Have the car professionally detailed! If you can find a hub cap, that will help. You want the car to look as good as possible to the prospective buyer!





    Have any required state inspections done, so the buyer knows that they can just go and get tags! If the tires are bad, you may want to put a good set of used tires on the car, but do not spend a lot of money. Bad tires will reduce the value of a vehicle, but new tires add nothing!





    Do not spend the money for paint work!





    Kelly Blue Book is only a guide, and in this case you have to allow for the high mileage and the prior damage. If I was selling that car at a dealer auction, I most likely would have to announce that it had prior uni-body (frame) damage.





    I would think that if you got in the mid to high $3000 range, selling it to a private party, you would be doing well. Of course I have not seen the car, so my price could be high or low!How should I prep a used car before selling? Detailing, New Tires, Paint?
    If you can find a matching seat, buy the whole seat and replace it. It is a lot easier than trying to change the cover!!

    change oil and filter


    clean the glass on the inside





    And list it for sale.
    i am a car dealer don't do anything to it your only spending money for no reason you will get within the same amount for it either way the best thing you can do is ask whats the best price he will let you have what ever car your looking a for and keep the old car to run around in... with the millage if the car was mint perfect you might get 2,000 to 2500 trade in and i would bet he might offer you 1500 and if u ask he would drop that much off the price of his i know i would...
    No... you would spend much more than the 720 difference in fixing those problems... new seat covers would already cost more than 720 and if you only had the one with burns fixed it would likely not look quite the same as the others.





    The only thing you might consider doing is the tires and only if the tires on the car right now are in very bad shape or are showing wear signs that indicate a possible problem. You might also look for a hub cap at a salvage yard, the floor mats can be washed at a car wash, anything else besides just a good wash wax and inside cleaning would be useless.





    I would say try to get the smell of smoke out of the car because that will also lower the price but when you have cigarette burns in the seat I'm guessing that wouldn't even be possible. From what you describe you'll be lucky to get 3,500.

    If my car is constantly washed with soap detergent-will this constant washing spoilt the paint works?

    I don't believe it will destroy the paint but it will strip all the wax from your vehicle. If you wax it then wash it with detergent then you are working against yourself. You can buy car wash soap for very little cash and it won't strip the wax.If my car is constantly washed with soap detergent-will this constant washing spoilt the paint works?

    use car wash soap and wax it on at least a fairly regular schedule wax your headlights and taillights too keeps 'em from turning yellow and if you wax your glass it will keep it clean and give you alot better visibility in the rain NEVER wax your windshield tho the wipers will streak it you can use rain-X for that it just takes a little work to apply it with no steaks but they do make a washer fluid that works great

    Anyone know how to remove concrete stains from my car without damaging the paint?

    That is a very difficult one. I would not suggest trying this one yourself and do not use a house cleaner of any kind. Go to a body shop and see if they can't polish it out. Concrete is extremely difficult to remove without damaging the paint. In some cases, there is no way around it and it must be painted.Anyone know how to remove concrete stains from my car without damaging the paint?
    I agree the the Collision shop manager, very though one here. If it is a glob of cement then it can be tapped off with something plastic then buffed out. If it is what we call the cream of the cement then it is best to have it done professionally. Do not use any chemicals, Nothing will dissolve concrete with out removing the paint also. Good Luck on this one.Anyone know how to remove concrete stains from my car without damaging the paint?
    Have you tried a rubbing compound? It's like a really fine grit paste that you can find at walmart or parts store, but be careful because you can actually cut through the clear coat on your paint.

    Unfortunately the only answer in this case is to have the car repainted. You can have this done for anywhere from about $600 to $2000 dollars. A low end paint job won't necessarily be a bad job, but it will not last as long as a more expensive job. It you plan on keeping to car for any length of time I would suggest that you spend a little more money and get a better paint job.
    Nope, nothing can be done, either no good primer was put as the base or this car has been repaired before and they painted it incorrectly. You need to have the car stripped and repainted unfortuantely:) Good luck.

    if you scuffed the bumper and degreased it prior to painting you should not have any problems
    if every thing is dry it shouldn't the clear coat should protect it
    If you prepped the bumpers correctly it will be OK. If not, heat and cold will cause it to blister and peal off. If they are flexible plastic bumpers and you didn't use the correct ';bumper flexible'; black paint and clear coat it will come off no matter what you do.

    How much money does it usually cost to get a basic paint job on a car?

    $29.95.How much money does it usually cost to get a basic paint job on a car?
    A decent basic paint job can be had for approximately $500 to $700 while a factory type complete paint job can run upwards of $5000 depending on the type of vehicle you drive. There is a big difference between the two. The primary difference is prep work and paint materials. On cheaper paint jobs the original paint is not scuffed prior to applying new paint, thus the paint will eventually peel from little door dings and scrapes. More expensive paint work entails hand scuffing the panels as well as removing unpainted parts from the vehicle. This prevents tape lines where the edges will eventually peel.





    If the paint is not peeling and is just faded, try taking the vehicle to have it polished first before being tempted into a complete paint job. Cheap paint work will fade in a couple of years and cannot be undone cheaply.

  • Car paint question?

    to paint a car, what is the difference between gloss and metallic car paint? i looked at cars with the same color just one with gloss and one with metallic and i see no difference.Car paint question?
    gloss finishes are made by a thick see through coating called clear coat. Metallic finishes are made by fine metal dust sprayed on the cars. Look closer and if its a true metalic paint job the paint will sparkle and the clear coat will shine.Car paint question?
    Not sure I understand your question. Many automotive paints have metallic basecoats, (looks like very, very fine glitter embedded in the paint color) and others are simply color with a clear topcoat while still others are applied with a base, then colored pigment with clear over that. The differences are mainly there because of buyer preferences as most all paints used today are urethane based and very, very resilient to sun and weather.
    the metalic has microscopic metal particals in the paint. Whereas the gloss is just the paint
    there should be no difference , you should be able to get a glossy finish with a metallic or regular paint metallic paint is simply a color with small bits of metal to create an effect
    Metallic paint will peel faster than gloss paint will. Go with the gloss paint to get your money's worth.

    just a mask and spray could run pretty cheap at some shops. other times, depending on what all you want done to the body, it can get expensive, the price rises for special types of ';kustom'; paint as well.

    You are wasting your time and money to change the color af EITHER car. Both cars have paint systems that chemically fuse the paint to the metal at the factory. You will NEVER be able to duplicate the process. If you want a car of a different color, then TRADE it for what you want!!!! To paint either car is more like defacing it. If the Beetle is an OLD beetle (1970's) then that is different. You will totally ruin what you have by attempting to change the color.
    I would not recommend painting a car in a different color as it devalues it. Unless you plan to stay with it for life, I don't recommend painting the car in a different color.
    Call and talk with Peaches Auto Body and Paint. They are going to be about as cheap as you can get, but make sure the body is ready to be painted first or it will cost you more.

    The new paints hold well over a long time now compared what they used to do, the clear coat they now have and the base coat have improved 100 percent. loud colors will draw attention no dout, red, yellow, flame orange all attract attention. you can go to any insurance company and get the ticket rating for the different colors of cars. And Right now Red paint pigment is at a all time high so if you have an accident it will be more expensive to fix.
    I saw figures a while back that red cars do not get more tickets, but I'm sure it depends on the type of car as well, let's face it some just look like trouble to a cop. I think they do hold there color better, we had a red metallic van for 5 years and it looked great when we sold it ! It wasn't a fire engine red a little deeper than that.

    dont use brasso or any metal polish. these metal polishes have little tiny coarse fragments (yes i know you cant feel them) but what they doo and ALLL polishing agents do is take a little bit off the surface. there makeing a scratch that the human eye cant see. the human eye cant see a 6000 or 8000 grite scratch (on paint) metal is harder so the substance used on metal is harsher. with that said ouch yellow enamel on your car from a scrape. if its still on after u pressure washed it chances are heres damage to your paint. id had to say it but wash your car use a soft bristel brush and rag first. (any marks that the brush makes can be polished out) if its still on go to a body shop and ask if they can use there rubber whell to take it off (a shop guy im sure will do it on their break for 25-50 bucks) u can take a razor blade and carefully try and pry it off. since u dont know anything about paint i would not do much of this urself. u can also take ur car to a detail shop and see if they will try and get it off and buff your car ( this should bee 50- 200 bucks depending on where you live)


    really imoportant read the product labels they will tell you if you can use them on certent surfaces and if you dont know what ur doing dont get brasso or any other metal cleaner. u can actually damage the paint to a paoint it needs to be re painted
    Try a little rubbing


    with brasso or


    car paint restorer


    then polish over.
    Try T Cut, also a little bit of Paint Thinner to just gently rub it off

  • Removing paint off a car?

    I have a old car I want to restore but the car needs to be repainted so I would want to change the colour to something different.





    What is the easiest, fastest and cheapest way to remove all the paint from the car?





    Will I need to remove the primer to or just the paint? I am planning to fill in the rust and dents with bondo to cut down on some costs.Removing paint off a car?
    If you do it the easy fast and cheap way you're paint job will look easy fast and cheap.


    If you change the color it will be more work , you will have to be more thorough in your sanding and you will have to seal the old paint.


    You don't have to remove all the paint , but you will have to rough it all up, and in the places where you use filler you will have to sand all the way to the metal. Also if you change colors you will have to paint the door jambs and all the hidden places, but if you stick with the original color, you won't have to.Removing paint off a car?
    If the rust is all the way through you need to replace the metal with new quarter panels or rocker panels or what ever parts are rusted out. As far as sanding you need to feather edge all the bad spots in the paint and give the whole thing a good sanding. Bondo is used only to make the welded repairs smooth so you can't see it when it is painted. There is quite an art to get a good job when doing body work. Good luck and take your time, don't try to rush it.

    I need a paint job for my car. I just need a decent cheap job with white or black. Is Maaco the right place?

    I just need a cheap paint job to get my car looking better. Not show quality. I have heard Maaco sucks, but I just need something better than what I have now. Any advice on what I should do befor I go there, any prep work i should do? Also, out of all there packages, which ones the best, for my budget of around 500.00?I need a paint job for my car. I just need a decent cheap job with white or black. Is Maaco the right place?
    Had a car painted white for them over 7 years ago just a cheap job, and it still shines and looks great. For $500 you can get it done by Maaco or try Earl Scheib they are running a deal now for there pro 3 paint job I think it is around $400. It cost more for the paint and materials that is why no other shop is going to paint your vehicle for that kind of money. stop by one of the shops and look for vehicles that were just painted by them this way you can see thr kind of work they do. Good luck.I need a paint job for my car. I just need a decent cheap job with white or black. Is Maaco the right place?
    Don't go to a cheap place if you're going to go with black. Black will show all of a car's surface imperfections and if the prep work/paint isn't of high quality it probably won't look very good... White's easier to keep clean and hide the dirt.
    If you aren't going to own you re car long there paint jobs typically don't last
    Call Maaco first - see what kind of deals they have going on. Then call any local body shop %26amp; see what they have to say - I'm sure if you tell them you're looking for a crappy paint job they'll be confident they can do it.
    i own a repair shop,and id try and get the best paint job they offer,pretty much all of what you have heard about them is true,they don't do really good at doing this,and anything you can do to prep it will help,but they don't really spend a lot of time on prep work or masking,neither of these are there strong points,but for a cheap job sometimes,they do alright ,i just hope the paint stays on ,i have known of a few of there jobs peeling off real bad,id get the best one they had to offer,get your 500 bucks worth anyway,good luck i hope this helps.
    I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THEM THEY ARE A BUNCH OF CROOKS MY SISTER HAD HER CAR PAINTED BY MACO IT DIDN'T LAST LONG AND SHE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T CLEAN THE INSIDE OUT NAD ALSO SHE HAD THREE SPOTS THAT WERE ORANGE PEEL AND THEY WOULDN'T FIX THEM AND NIETHER DID THE CORP.
    If you use Maaco, never use a pressure wash or the paint will come off.
    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!


    it looks good for about a year, then as you scrub the car harder it starts to come off. if you are going to put all that money to pain the car, do it at a place that will use better paint and charge more, you get what you pay for, trust me. there is a place in west covina, 1 day auto paint, somethihng like that. its on azusa i believe. not sure if its still there., i got my 94 tercel poainted white there. it looked like a brand new car. get an estimate. i paid 500 for the basic service, with door jams. then, i sold the car for 1,000 dollars more. it pays off. look into it.

    Want it to look good....call a professional and pay the price...





    you get what you pay for...I'm planning to paint my car,i have no idea what kind of paint is appropriate one,what paint should i choose?
    Just stay away from MAACO or Earl Sheib.
    Get the paint code for the car. Take it to an automotive paint store and they can mix a duplicate color for you. As the other guys have said, there's more to this than meets the eye. See what a pro will paint it for.

    Here is a website that sells car paints, select ur yr, model, make and color, then they will give u ur color code. Which that code, u can order from them or retail stores like Autozone.

    Have you ever had your car painted or repainted?

    What kind of car do you have, and how much did it cost you? Were you happy with the results? Im looking to see a range of how much it would cost to get my car redone. ThanksHave you ever had your car painted or repainted?
    I had my Civic 2001 repainted and they did a crappy job.. it cost me $1,000. I'll never buy a cheap paint job again. Have you ever had your car painted or repainted?
    a paint job can range from 50 dollars to 5000 depending on the quality desired and your abilities. The 50 dollar one would be the latest craze the rustoleum roller paint job which can turn out good if a extreme attention to detail is exercised there is lots of sanding required with a lot of coats in between. On the other end of the spectrum is a 5000 high end paint job with a top quality paint like ppg or house of kolor finished up with a wet sand and polishing, for a mirror finish. in between are local body shops which can vary from excellent to poor. you also have maaco and earl sheib which lay a reasonable quality paint prep sucks though so the car better be ready. Another option is to find someone who is an experienced painter and buy supplies 100-500 and have him shoot your car for 300 or so, there are many out there... hope this helps.
    To repaint a car that has no need to be repainted is a total waste of money. You will NEVER get that money back when its time to sell the car. If the car is a clunker then head to the nearest Maaco and spend $399 and get a cheap paint job that will wash off inside of 1 year. Or if its a collectors car then hit up a body shop and spend $3000+ for a proper paint job.





    To paint a car just cause you can or wish for a new color is insane. All you will do is lower the value of the car. Cause now everyone who wants to buy it will ask.... how bad was the accident? it was repainted after all.





    Why do so many people think its easy, cheap and profitable to repaint a car is beyond me. Guess too many 2 Fast 2 Furious movies.
    I've had two cars painted. MY '68 Mustang and a '65 Mustang that my grandson and I restored for him to drive. With body work and paint they came to $8,000 or so each. The paint was around $4K each and the rest was body work. Both were good paint jobs and I'm satisfied with them. I have seen better jobs but they paid close to $8K just for the paint job. I've also seen some cheap paint jobs and wouldn't go there on a dare. You definitely get what you pay for and a complete repaint done right with quality paint will run you around $3 to $4K.

    Would i be breaking the law if in a road rage incident if i used a paint ball gun and shot the car?

    pepole in the uk please ( any other country will be funny to hear from too)Would i be breaking the law if in a road rage incident if i used a paint ball gun and shot the car?
    When I lived in Minnesota, I was shot by a random passerby with a paintball gun when I was walking out to get my mail. I tracked down the guys and filed complaints and they faced felonies there. I never heard what happened to them, and frankly I dont care if they went to prison. The chance of a pedestrian losing eyesite because of their assinine behavior is infuriating...and mind you, i was shot at 18 ft.





    When a paintball hits your chin and you are just getting the mail...you get MAD. I can guarantee you, if it was while I was driving....lookout!Would i be breaking the law if in a road rage incident if i used a paint ball gun and shot the car?
    Under Federal Code in the United States that would be considered a ';terroristic threat.'; Plus in my jurisdiction: criminal mischief, simple assault with a weapon, vandalism, and harassment.





    Not to mention that if I was to see that happening, you would be stopped via Felony Stop and if you raised or pointed the weapon towards an officer or the public in the presence of an officer, you might be shot by the officer.
    please put your keys down. walk away from your vehicle. and never drive again.





    Shooting paintballs at a moving vehicle in the USA would be considered attempted murder. Your weapon won't kill the driver, but you could frighten him into losing control of the car, or paint his windshield, blinding him, and cause an accident that could kill him.





    You would then be charged with a homicide, not just some pansy vandalism charge.
    at the very least it sounds like vandalism, and depending on how the paintball gun looks, somebody in a road rage incident might thinks its real (or claim to think so) and result in a dangerous situation. (I'm in the US btw)
    Criminal Mischief in Indiana
    I'm not sure why answers from those in other countries would be funny. If you live anywhere and get involved in a road rage incident and shoot a paintball at the other party then the police may be your last worry. The other party may be faster, more angry and armed with something far worse, such as a ball bat (to say the least) that could cause you personal harm. It happens, even in the UK. Besides, what a waste of good paint. Go shoot your house, someone on your block may appreciate the upgrade.
    yes it is against the law. you would be liable for any damages the other car or person
    just drive with you re face hidden





    and don' t get caught
    Unfortunately, yes. They could get you for vandalism, possibly assault, and probably some other things as well.

    If a new car needs to be clear coated again due to surface scratches does this affect the paint later?

    No damages have been found in the paint just the clear coat needs to be reapplied again. is there a cause for concern if this is removed and then reapplied. does this affect how long the paint job will last?If a new car needs to be clear coated again due to surface scratches does this affect the paint later?
    a clear coat is more or less a protective coat, when this comes off, u will notice a different shade of paint in the area in which it has removed itself. paint used to degrade b4 they started using clear coats because no one waxed their cars, now they put a clear coat on it in an effort to make the paint look better longer. the earliest i ever seen a descent clear coat start to peel was maybe 5 years. so more clear coat just means more protection.If a new car needs to be clear coated again due to surface scratches does this affect the paint later?
    I don't beleave my eyes? No you cannot strip off the clear and reapply a new coat. Original paint is baked on. You need a professional car detailer who knows how to swing a buffer. Even deep clear scratches can be polished and the paint can look just like new again. And bury the car in a quality car wax. And much cheeper than any refinish procedure.
    Does it make the car drive better?
    No, i see no reason there would be a problem later on. As long as a body shop you trust, or the dealership you got it from is doing it you should have no problems.

    I have a 95 honda accord and it needs a new coat of paint, how would I go about getting that and how much do you think it would cost?Help with CAR PAINT COST!?
    their are so many different types of paint coat to chose from. My advise is to get price check and ask family and friends that are in the auto body field to help you. Prices are different.


    EXAMPLE: double coat paint, triple coated paint, gloss, two tone paint and so on.Help with CAR PAINT COST!?
    If you do it yourself, depending on what paint you use and what technique, it could cost anywhere from about 50 bucks (the ';Roller Method'; http://www.rickwrench.com/index79master.鈥?/a> ) to a thousand bucks or so (for building materials to make a paint booth, air compressor, high-quality paint gun).





    If you have it done professionally, probably 1-2000 dollars.

    Airbrush & car paint?

    Hi, I would like to make some art with an airbrush on my car that is under painting...I don't know if I can use normal car paint for the airbrush...


    Please help, thanks in advanceAirbrush %26amp; car paint?
    Yes you can use normal automotive paint with the airbrush. Thinners may be needed to get the paint to the ideal consistency and flow. Some of the specialty paints, such as metal flake, can be interesting to use. If you use a specialty paint be sure to read the details on the curing times and application process so you don't end up with one that requires heat or oven curing. Also, some of the automotive paints have peculiar re-coating and clear-coating working times and windows so you'll need to watch out for those and plan your paint jobs accordingly.

    FRESH car PAINT DUST IN IT THOW :(?

    will buffering and polishing take the dust off the paint???? many thanksa andrewFRESH car PAINT DUST IN IT THOW :(?
    You most likely will have to sand those spots out. I would start with 1,000 grit paper then follow up with 2,000 grit. Once you have it sanded out, use a quality compound polishing system to buff the scratches out to a perfect shine. I recommend the SYSTEM ONE Pro Kit system (see source link). Makes it really easy and fast.FRESH car PAINT DUST IN IT THOW :(?
    Yeah, assuming a base coat clear coat job we like to wet sand 1500 and then 2000 grit. Then buff and wax. Hope it is dirt dust in the clear otherwise you have a problem.
    try a buffing compound first ,if that doesn't work you may have to wet sand.

    You can probably rattle can it in the garage for under $200. Or you can get a not very high quality paint job at a ';professional'; shop for $500-$1000. Or you can get a good paint job by a reputable shop for $2000-$3000.

    Go with the better package MAACO has. It will be well worth it!! I had my tailgate repainted due to a vandal keying it. MAACO did a great job. The shop was is Billings MT. Depending on what color you choose just remember--If you change the color of your car it costs more because of the extra time it takes to repaint the inner door jams and trunk lid etc. If you stay with the same color you can use the money you save to get the better paint package. Food for thought. Unless the car is a puke green or baby kaka yellow. I've always liked candy apple red. I just got a 2008 Mustang Gt in that color and it's the same as the (red) more like maroon on a Dr. Pepper can.. ZOOM ZOOM!! GOOD LUCK

    this is the paint i use for plastic on any car that i am rebuilding or restoring for a customer or myself. its the industrial choice rust-oleum paint for plastics. this is a no primer needed paint which you could spray directly on the plastic considering the plastic is clean and free from any oils or armor all etc. thin light coats until the plastic is covered allowing some dry time between coats and your interior will look like it was just replaced. this stuff works awesome and when its dry there is no odor and it dries hard. check it out this stuff is the cats a**.I want to paint the plastic parts for the interior of my car, what type of paint would work best?
    i own a repair shop,and you can go to any parts store and get the brand of vinyl paint called sems,its the best on the market,and it will stay with it for along time,but don't settle for anything less than sems ,all you have to do is clean the surface really good before you paint it no sanding or nothing on it,good luck hope this helps.
    The first step is to make sure the panels are clean. Any traces of armour-all from years past is going to haunt you. The best thing to do is use 3M adhesion promoter. If you follow the directions the paint will stick forever. Duplicolor also makes a cheaper ';fusion'; paint in the basic colors if you're on a budget. however...as always...you get what you pay for
    they make paint especially for interiors at you local parts store the most important part is the prep work get the right paint and clean the interior according to the instructions but remember your painting plastic so it does expand and contract according to the temperature so following the direction will give you the best result

    Race Car paint jobs?

    Is it me or is the lack of tobacco advertising having a poor effect on the paint jobs on cars and bikes... ? Rossi's M1 is sponsored by Fiat?? they just painted it white and wrote FIAT in big letters on it... At least CAMEL looked cool... not to mentioned the F1 honda's with that planet earth look... bring back lucky strike... makes the cars faster as well don't you know...Race Car paint jobs?
    To me the best paint scheme on a race car didn't have anything to do with tobacco. It was on the Mello Yello car in the early 90's.Race Car paint jobs?
    yeah
    the sponsors can get around the advertising ban just look at the gauloise Yamaha that Rossi rode a few years back all it had was GO!!!!!!!!! on the fairing but everyone with half a brain knew it was sponsored by Gauloise and even though Marlboro is not on any fairings now any bike painted red /white will be recognised by the colour scheme I was never influenced by any advert on a car when I used to smoke anyway the B.S.B still let RIZLA use the brand name on the bike and RIZLA,s are used not only for ciggies so how is that fair ?
    V8 Supercars have the madest paint jobs and no cigarette sponsorship in site.

    You are so right!! I think it's more parent's are taking their children to the races.
    i agree compleatly, as far as camel and marlbro go i thought the lucky strike paint job sucked, but to each their own, and no paint doesnt make them go fast but it deffinatly does make it LOOK fast,
    i disagree with you there, just look at the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes. Red Bull and STR are pretty cool looking cars too. paint doesn't make cars go faster.

    Its tough to say without seeing it. How deep is the scratch? If it just needs sanded and painted you are probably looking around $250

    Does the Pikes Peak White Paint on the 2008 Nissan 350Z suppose to have reddish brown dots all over the car?

    I just bought a brand new 2008 Nissan 350Z Enthusiast with Pikes Peak White Paint. Is the paint suppose to have reddish brown dots all over the car because it doesn't just wipe off, you kind of have to scrape it off but even then it leaves behind a brown stain?Does the Pikes Peak White Paint on the 2008 Nissan 350Z suppose to have reddish brown dots all over the car?

  • I want to remove the chrome letters from my car. How do I do that without scratching the paint?

    This is the proper way to dabadge. Take a hair dryer and heat up the badge for a while. Then take some dental floss and slowly work it under the badge and slowly slide in underneath the entire badge. You may want to continue to use the hair dryer while you do this. When it comes off it will most likely leave old adhesive, which can be removed by using some bug and tar remover or goof off type stuff. Polish and wax when its clean. There are no holes underneath.I want to remove the chrome letters from my car. How do I do that without scratching the paint?
    Go to PaintshopI want to remove the chrome letters from my car. How do I do that without scratching the paint?
    If they are bolted on, there will be a nut on the back side of the panel. Of course there will be holes in the metal when you are done. If they are glued on, take a heat gun or a hair dryer and heat the letters till the glue starts to let loose, then simply clean up the glue residue with solvent.
    take it to either a paint or body shop just be careful





    why you put them on
    do not do this the holes will rust and the trunk or hood will rust away
    There are solvants that you can get at places like autozone or advanced auto. Any sales person could give you the brand name. The chrome letters may become unusable after that, but as far as the paint goes it wont get scratched.
    get a fishing line and move it up and down like you flossing your teeth and shimmy your way till you get the double sided tape all cut up.
    it they are attached with glue, try spraying some wd 40 on them. test a spot under hood to make sure it won t discolor paint, first!
    slowly soak with wd 40 then gently apply a continous pressure with a plastic piece like a spoon. They will slowly come off. Don't force anything, a little bit of warmth will help
    used alcohol or polish, i don't thing D40 be good for paint.


    u can by alcohol frame pharmacy and polish from car shop
    Take the vehicle to an approved body/ paint shop and pay for the removal of the letters. You will save yourself a lot of heartache and trouble.

    When waxing a car if i were to wax the plastic parts/ trim will that crack,fade,or hurt the paint inthe future?

    Ive herd that if you wax the plastic parts on the outside the vehicle the paint might fade, or crack in the future?? I ve herd this theory twice on youtube, is this statement true and if so what should I use to protect the plastic parts on the sides , front , and back? I have a black truck with some black plastic and chrome parts on it.. Anybody that has some good advise I would really appreciate it!! ThanksWhen waxing a car if i were to wax the plastic parts/ trim will that crack,fade,or hurt the paint inthe future?
    I have heard that that will cause damage, I know with black plastic parts it will more than likely leave a residue and look bad. There is a new was from Armour All I think it is called Ice that can be used anywhere on the car, it is a little more expensive but well worth it. I hope this will help!When waxing a car if i were to wax the plastic parts/ trim will that crack,fade,or hurt the paint inthe future?
    Right on the can of wax you are using it should say something about it. It can be a warning like this ';Do not use on chrome'; or something like this. There are waxes, which are safe for almost any part of a car. You can call the company, which makes the wax and ask them. They always have their phone number on the can.
    You will be ok if you wax the plastic parts that are painted with auto paint such as many bumpers, flairs, and the door skins of Saturns. Do not use wax on plastic trim pieces that are raw plastic and unpainted. It will end up looking dull with a white haze and it is very difficult to get the wax off later. There are a lot of products that are designed specifically for raw plastics, like Armour all. Use those on your unpainted plastic bits.

    I left a plastic bag on my car in the sun and now it has an imprint in the paint How do u get this off?

    you are going to have to buff it out. the marks are in the clear coat of the paint. but be very careful when you do this because you can burn the paint. if you dont feel comfortable doing so get a pro detailer to do it.I left a plastic bag on my car in the sun and now it has an imprint in the paint How do u get this off?
    Maybe a little alcohol will do the trick :)





    It worked like a charm for my kitchen counter, when the ink transferred from a plastic bag and another time, from a receipt, to the tile, and would not come out. A little smidge of alcohol took it right off, with almost no work. I had previously soaked and scrubbed and tried everything.I left a plastic bag on my car in the sun and now it has an imprint in the paint How do u get this off?
    sand paper and or buffing it out
    Try to wash it and wax it...it should come out or fade

    Can you use a homedepot ailess sprayer to paint a car?

    An airless sprayer will not atomize the paint particles sufficiently, resulting in a thick coat of paint. This will give you a dull finish if not outright globs on your car. Car paint chemistry is very much different from household paints and require a finer deliver system.Can you use a homedepot ailess sprayer to paint a car?
    You can but it will look like crap. The airless is fine for wood fence. But you need a fine mist from a pressure gravity feed air gun.Can you use a homedepot ailess sprayer to paint a car?
    their junk don't use it on a car.

    My eclipse paint job is n perfectly gud shape, how much wud it co$t 2 paint just the bottom half of the car?

    I do not want the whole car painted, just half in half...like a two tone car.My eclipse paint job is n perfectly gud shape, how much wud it co$t 2 paint just the bottom half of the car?
    It would really depend on the condition of the car. If theirs dent's/rust etc... you will be paying quite a bit more. Most reputable shops won't apply paint without repairing and body defects. A basic sand/scuff and paint would probably start around $600-700. It would go up from their depending on if trim will need to be removed or body/paint repairs are required first.

    This was when they were little. Did anyone do anything as bad as this to their parents, when you were a kid?My friend and her brother painted their parents new car with house paint...?

    I painted my dad's boat with axle grease.
    Ate poisonous button mushrooms in the backyard when I was 3... My mom gave me ipecac syrup in a cup of milk, and sat me in the high chair so I had to throw up all on the tray. I still don't like raw mushrooms... I remember it so well, even now. Saw them in the grass thru the patio door and snuck out to eat them. My mom came running out and grabbed me, but I'd already eaten quite a few.
    When my brother and I were younger, we swept up the trash on the yard. We decided to burn it, but we puty it too close to one of the bedrooms. My aunty found out and she told my dad. That night, we both got spanked, but I got the worst of it because I was the eldest. Let me tell you ... I got spanked so hard that I could not sit for days!!! Makes me laugh everytime I think about it!!!
    Burnt the house down !!
