    Default paint question

    What is the difference between base/ clear and factory finish paint jobs that you offer? Typical price difference? Quality and longevity i should expect from the 2?


    What is color sanding and does it provide any benefits?


    Thanks

    the difference between base clear and factory finish is mainly just the basecoat the metallics in the factory finish are smaller than the regular base clear. The match percentage in the factory finish is very high so we also use it in all our spot jobs.
    the base clear is only designed for all over paintjobs.
    both paintjobs come with the same warranty 5 years . as far as the quality goes the factory finish looks a lot better than our base clear due to the material difference between the two.
    color sanding and buffing eliminates any orange peel visible and makes the car look like glass pretty much.
    the price for the regular base clear is 620 after tax
    the price for the factory finish is 1220 after tax
    color sanding and buffing is additional aswell depending on the vehicle and color darker colors are more expensive but our buff jobs start from 600
