Reverse Sun Damage and Restore Colour
Sometimes it’s obvious when your car needs new paint, but other times, the signs are subtle. Here are the key indicators that your car may need a fresh coat of car pain Busselton.
Fading or Dull Paint
Exposure to strong UV rays can cause car paint to fade over time. If you notice certain areas, such as the roof or bonnet, looking dull or faded, it’s a sign that sun damage has taken a toll. Fading usually starts subtly but worsens if left untreated. A professional paint job can restore your vehicle’s shine and prevent further deterioration.
Rust or Corrosion
Rust is a serious issue that occurs when bare metal is exposed to moisture. If rust appears on your car, it’s a sign that the paint has been damaged.
Discolouration or Uneven Colour
Uneven colour can result from UV damage or poorly matched touch-ups from previous repairs. If your car’s paint looks patchy or discoloured, it’s a clear indicator that it’s time for professional help. An even and consistent paint job restores your vehicle’s original appearance and enhances resale value.
Peeling or Cracking Paint (Clear Coat Failure)
Clear coat failure happens when the top layer of paint begins to peel or crack. This is often due to long-term exposure to heat or improper previous paint applications. Left untreated, peeling paint exposes the metal underneath, making it vulnerable to rust.
Bubbling or Blistering Paint
Bubbling or blistering paint occurs when moisture gets trapped under the paint surface. This problem often indicates that there is underlying damage or that the paint job wasn’t done correctly. Repainting with proper preparation ensures a long-lasting, smooth finish.
The Impact of WA Climate on Car Paint
Living in WA comes with plenty of sunshine and coastal air, both of which can affect your car’s exterior. Continuous sun exposure can fade even high-quality paints, while salty air from coastal areas promotes corrosion. Without proper protection, these elements can cause long-term damage. At Busselton Panel and Paint, we use premium automotive paints designed to withstand Perth’s climate, helping to keep your car looking great year-round.
