After an accident, your car’s body kit may be chipped, requiring immediate attention. Repainting it can restore its original appearance. Begin by carefully removing the body kit from the vehicle. Use the proper tools and consult the installation manual to avoid damaging fasteners.

Once removed, clean the surface thoroughly using a plastic-safe solvent to eliminate grease. This step is critical to ensure the coating bonds securely.

Next, check for flaws for cracks. If you find surface flaws, apply automotive filler to level the surface. Allow the filler to harden overnight, then sand it with increasingly smooth sandpaper starting at 100 grit and moving up to 600 grit. This creates a uniform texture.

After sanding, remove all dust using a tack cloth to eliminate dust.

Mask off unpainted zones using precision masking film and auto part dubai plastic sheeting. Ensure edges are sealed tightly to prevent uneven edges.

Before applying color, spray on a plastic-specific primer designed for plastic surfaces. This prevents peeling. Let the primer harden per manufacturer specs, then buff the surface using 800 grit paper for a glass-like texture.

Now you’re ready to paint. Use a OE-quality plastic coating. Apply thin, even coats, allowing each coat to flash dry as specified. Three to four light coats yield far better results than a single heavy application. Use a professional airbrush held in a steady range, moving in consistent horizontal movements. Avoid spraying too long in one spot to prevent orange peel.

After the final color coat dries, apply a protective lacquer for shine. Apply three even passes using the uniform motion as the color coat. Let the clear coat dry undisturbed for a full day.

Once fully cured, buff the finish using a ultra-fine polish to bring out the gloss.

Reattach the body kit to your vehicle using the factory bolts, ensuring precise fitment. Always verify gap consistency before fully securing all clips.

Finally, check under multiple lights under natural daylight to verify color match. If needed, touch up small areas with a small artist’s brush and matching paint.

With careful masking and attention to detail, a repainted body kit can exceed OEM quality and resist fading and cracking.
