| Severe | Large area coverage, fully cured | Full car polishing or partial touch-up painting | 800-1500 yuan |
4. Three key tips to prevent flying paint
Based on the latest evaluation video of the car UP owner at Station B, the following preventive measures are recommended:
1.Construction protection:When spray painting, it is required to use professional masking film to ensure that the area within a radius of 5 meters is covered. The recently popular product "static shielding cloth" has a 40% increase in protective effect.
2.Weather options:Avoid spray painting when the humidity is >70% or the wind speed is >3. Xiaohongshu’s measured data shows that the probability of paint flying increases three times in bad weather.
3.Paint maintenance:Regular waxing can make the paint surface smoother and reduce the adhesion of flying paint. Douyin tests show that the difficulty of removing flying paint from crystal-plated vehicles is reduced by 60%.
5. Reminder of common misunderstandings
According to recent discussions in the Hupu Che circle, special attention should be paid to:
✘ Scraping with a blade will damage the varnish layer
✔ Correct approach: soften first and then wipe gently
✘ White vinegar/alcohol dissolution may corrode car paint
✔ The right choice: pH neutral professional remover
Dealing with flying paint requires patience and correct methods. It is recommended to choose the corresponding solution based on the actual situation. If the flying paint has penetrated into the varnish layer, be sure to seek help from a professional beauty shop to avoid irreversible damage.
