How to Take care of a New Paint Job

[majikTib]

I am getting my car painted in a week and all he's doing is taking the clear coat off and spraying it again with the factory color (Alpine White) then applying another clear coat.
I just had a wreck and the collision center was charging $700 to paint the hood and fender and bumper, so I'm taking it elsewhere and having the entire car re-sprayed for the same price.

How do I take care of it to keep it looking good as new a year from now? Is there anything I should or shouldn't do the first 2 or 3 months after a new paint job?

Ask your paintshop, should have all the information you need to know.

Take my advice... Don't use the Ding King on that new paint :cry: it works, but when I used it on the right side of my car (re-painted about 2 weeks ago), not only did it pull the dent up, it also took off the paint on the second try on that dent. I should've stopped while I was ahead.
