Why You Should Get Your Vehicle Painted

Updated: Mar 14, 2022




Paint is more than just a color on your vehicle. It is more than just making your car or truck look shiny or dull. The purpose of paint is more than just making your vehicle look good from the outside.


The paint on your vehicle protects it. It is a protection from the damage the roads can do. Paint covers the metal of your vehicle and the longer the metal can stay strong - without rust - the longer your vehicle can last. A quality paint job can actually help your car hold up better if it is ever in a crash!


But it is not just paint in general. A quality paint job can actually save you money in the long run. Ensuring your car or truck receives a quality paint job decreases the likelihood of rust which can keep your vehicle on the road longer.





Here are a few reasons to make sure your vehicle has a quality paint job.


  1. Rust prevention: In Michigan staying away from rust is a nearly impossible task. The rain, snow, ice and salt can get on and under your vehicle and start to eat away at the metal. A quality paint job is a protective coating against all that weather and debris.

  2. Resale Value: Pre-owned vehicles are currently in demand and like just about everything, the browsing for vehicles begins online. With hundreds (even thousands) of vehicles to choose from, shoppers can spend less than one second looking at a car or truck before moving on to the next one. A quality paint job will not only showcase the exterior of your vehicle, but it will also show the potential buyer you have taken care of it, increasing the likelihood of a sale.

  3. Factory new: Your vehicle is a big investment. You take care of it. After years and miles of service to you, freshen up your car or truck with a quality paint job. It will take you back to when you first drove it off the lot. It will also remove any small dings and scratches that may have accumulated over the years ensuring that your vehicle’s body will remain strong and rust free into the future.

  4. Customize it: There may be dozens of similar cars or trucks on the road where you live. Make yours stand out! A custom quality paint job can reflect your personality or your interests. Stripes, flames or a combination of both, a custom paint job will make your vehicle unique.




So whether the paint on your vehicle has become faded and dull or been in a fender bender, a quality paint job will help keep it on the road longer and look good while doing it!
