Limo Paint and Body Repair

 

There is nothing worse than a wavy body panel on what is suppose to be a gorgeous limousine. When you see this, it’s not always the limo operators fault. When faced with a limo paint repair, an operator may be forced to use a local body shop. Let’s face it; there isn’t a limo builder around every corner. Here are a few tips to consider before choosing your next limousine repair shop.

A GOOD BODY MAN

Avoiding a wavy side panel all comes down to the experience of a good limo body man. It takes time, effort and a keen eye to perfect the lines of a limousine. The right blocking tool is a must and the use of quality products applied is highly recommended for long term satisfaction. Unfortunately for bus owners, these methods haven’t been perfected for fiberglass shells. We get several requests and complaints about wavy buses, don’t worry, you are not alone…

STRESS CRACKS

These cracks are a huge thorn in the sides of many limo owners. Repairing these problems can take a lot of time and money. Be very cautious before jumping into a limo paint and body repair. You must figure out the exact reason as to why the paint or surface is stressed. The tough part for a repair facility is that many builders have different techniques. A crack can be as simple as vehicle settling more than expected or it can run a little deeper such as a lack of reinforcement behind the side panels.

QUALITY MATERIALS

It’s hard to always know what lies beneath your paint job. Different manufactures use various methods and products to accomplish a good finish. If all goes as planned, you won’t ever really know but when it fails, be prepared for a big job. In defense to some builders, you never know when a product line can fail no matter how great the material is. Bondo, fiberglass and filers are susceptible to failure. Be sure your shop follows each process required for proper application. When in doubt, call the distributor of the line and don’t hesitate to ask questions.
