Harsh weather conditions are one of the primary causes of damage to automotive paint that we see at our car paint shop in post falls. Low temperatures cause the paint to contract. When the mercury on the thermometer rises, the paint expands. Repeated expansion and contraction of the paint layer dulls the finish of the paint. The paint begins to lose its ability to adhere to the body of the vehicle, resulting in chips.

Dirt, dust, moisture, and even bird droppings can damage your car’s paint job, causing the paint to chip and flake. Washing the vehicle regularly will help to prevent dirt and dust damage. Bird droppings should be cleaned quickly. Clean dry droppings by placing a wet microfiber cloth on the soiled area for about 15 minutes. Then gently wipe it off.

Accidents can lead to scratched bumpers and chipped paint. Damage to the paint’s upper layer is usually easy to repair. If the damage extends to the underlying paint layers, it will be a tougher repair job.

May car cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can damage the vehicle’s paint job. Abrasive chemicals in cleaners are one of the leading causes of paint damage.

It may be possible to repair minor scratches or chips on your car’s paint job yourself. There are numerous paint repair kits for car owners who want to try their hand at doing it themselves.
