What should I consider before painting my Car?

How does an auto body shop do a paint job?
Most auto body shops are trying to get the cars in and out as fast as they can. The technician simply enters a paint code in their system, gets a formulation, and into the paint booth they go.
Can you take a car back to the paint shop?
Actually you can’t unless you painted it yourself. But what you can do is check the car thoroughly before taking delivery and before paying the final bill. This way if there is a problem, the shop will put it back through the paint shop and take care of the problem, because they want to get paid.
