If you find a patch of paint missing from your car, you must repair it immediately. The repair process is tedious and requires certain expertise and tools to ensure that the color matches the original car paint.
#Paint mixing steps
1. Prepare paint mixing tools: including paint mixing ruler, paint mixing cup, spray gun, etc. In addition, materials such as auto color paint, primer, varnish, hardener and thinner are also required.
2. Choose the base color: Choose the corresponding red base color according to the color code. Red car paint may need to be mixed with multiple base colors, such as bright red, burgundy red, etc.
3. Paint mixing:
- Pour an appropriate amount of red base color into the paint mixing cup, and gradually add different base colors as needed until the color is close to the original car paint.
- Use a paint mixing ruler to measure the mixing ratio to ensure the consistency of each paint mixing.
- Stir well to ensure that the colors are evenly mixed.
4. Spraying test: Try to spray the prepared car paint on metal plates or other test spraying boards to check its color matching with the original color of the vehicle. Observe the color under different lighting to ensure its accuracy.
5. Adjust the color: If the test spray color does not match the original car paint, you can continue to adjust the proportion of the base color until the color matches exactly.
#Notes
1. Light conditions: During the paint mixing and test spraying process, it should be carried out under natural light or professional paint mixing lamp to ensure accurate color.
2. Record proportions: During the automotive paint mixing process, record the proportions and steps of each color mixing for reference in subsequent color mixing.
3. Even mixing: Ensure the paint product is mixed completely, otherwise it may cause inconsistent colors.
4. Temperature and humidity: The ambient temperature and humidity of paint mixing and spraying will affect the quality of the car paint, and the operation should be carried out under appropriate conditions.
