Preparing for Auto Painting Services

What You Need to Know

Not Just a Cover Up

A “cover up” usually carries with it a negative connotation of hiding things that perhaps shouldn’t be hidden. While a new coat of paint makes your vehicle look great, a quality paint job is more than just quickly spraying color over everything existing. To ensure that you’re getting the best possible value from your painting investment, bring your transportation to Turnpike Motors Auto Body in Newington, Connecticut. Our certified technicians and state-of-the-art equipment ensure that we are well equipped to make your car, truck, SUV, or even commercial vehicle look great.

Preparation: A State of Mind and The State of Your Vehicle

So you’ve decided to paint your ride, and you can hardly wait to see the result! We get that. We also know that you want your money to be well spent and the new paint job to look great. Our professional team is here to help you understand the process and reach the balance that allows for perfect results in a reasonable amount of time. First, please understand that quality workmanship and a great paint job take time. A reasonable amount of time does not mean that you’ll have the car back in a day or two. You should work with your technicians and scheduler to determine the scope of work and the relevant amount of time the required services will take. This allows for all facets of work to be completed as well as allowing time for paint to properly cure. Also, don’t assume that we can simply spray a new color over your existing paint. Paint will not account for dents, deep scratches, or other body damage. The new, smooth paint will still reveal the underlying problems. To ensure that your new coat of color looks perfect, we will need to take care of the other issues impacting your car’s finish first. Finally, although it might not be your first thought, your vehicle’s interior should be removed to complete a thorough professional paint job. This takes time, too, particularly if the inside of your ride includes specialty after-market components. In the end, however, preparing yourself and your vehicle are worth the effort because your car will look great and likely see an uptick in value.

Quality matters. That’s why Turnpike Auto Body employees highly qualified technicians, maintains sufficient modern equipment, and uses only professional grade supplies. We are proud of the auto body and painting services we provide, and we want you to be equally proud of the way your car looks once we’re finished. So don’t just arrange a cover up for your ride’s imperfections. Instead, bring it to us for a total quality appearance that’s second to none.
