Extreme weather is one of the leading causes of automotive paint damage that we repair at our car paint shop in Hayden Lake. Paint contracts in cold weather and expands in hot weather. When the paint layer continually expands and contracts, it dulls the paint’s finish. The paint eventually loses the ability to adhere to the car’s body, resulting in chipped paint.

In addition to the weather, several other natural factors can damage your vehicle’s paint, including dirt, dust, moisture and even bird droppings. The paint will flake and chip. You can prevent damage from dirt and dust by washing your car regularly. If your vehicle has been soiled by bird droppings, clean it quickly using a damp cloth. If the droppings have dried, place a wet microfiber cloth on the spot for about 15 minutes, then gently wipe it off.

Accidents are an obvious source of damage to a car’s paint job. If the damage is limited to the paint’s upper layer, it’s not difficult for a qualified paint shop to fix. If the underlying paint layers are damaged, it will be more difficult to repair.

You may be surprised to learn that abrasive chemicals found in car cleaners are one of the major causes of auto paint damage. Many of these products contain harsh chemicals that can harm the paint job.

You may be able to repair minor chips and scratches on your car’s paint job yourself. Retails stores sell paint repair kits for DIY paint repair. Chevy owners can contact the Knudtsen Abra Body Shop. We can usually offer you a paint touch-up pen that matches your car’s paint.
