After an accident, your car’s body kit may be broken, requiring immediate attention. Repainting it can protect it from further wear. Begin by taking off the body kit from the vehicle. Use the proper tools and consult the installation manual to avoid snapping mounting points.

Once removed, remove all contaminants using a plastic-safe solvent to eliminate grease. This step is critical to ensure the new paint adheres properly.

Next, check for flaws for hairline fractures. If you find shallow gouges, apply two-auto part dubai urethane putty to smooth them out. Allow the filler to harden overnight, then sand it with progressively finer grits starting at 100 grit and moving up to 600 grit. This creates a uniform texture.

After sanding, clean with a microfiber cloth using a lint-free wipe to eliminate debris.

Mask off all areas you don’t want to paint using automotive-grade tape and newspaper (if sealed). Ensure edges are pressed firmly to prevent overspray.

Before applying color, spray on a high-quality primer designed for polyolefin materials. This improves durability. Let the primer harden per manufacturer specs, then smooth with fine abrasive using micro-fine sanding pad for a glass-like texture.

Now you’re ready to paint. Use a OE-quality plastic coating. Apply gradual builds, allowing each coat to flash dry as specified. Multiple mist applications yield far better results than a single spray pass. Use a aerosol cans held 15–20 cm from the surface, moving in continuous overlapping passes. Avoid holding the spray too close to prevent runs.

After the final color coat dries, apply a clear coat for scratch resistance. Apply three even passes using the same technique as the color coat. Let the clear coat dry undisturbed for a full day.

Once fully cured, polish the surface using a micro-abrasive cream to remove minor imperfections.

Reattach the body kit to your vehicle using the original hardware, ensuring proper spacing. Always test fit before tightening before fully securing all clips.

Finally, compare to OEM panels under natural daylight to verify hue consistency. If needed, correct mismatched spots with a precision touch-up pen and factory color code.

With meticulous sanding and attention to detail, a repainted body kit can look factory fresh and maintain its value long-term.
