Automotive Paint Repair Can Be Simple

It's that awful time for car owners, your car's paint is damaged and you need some automotive paint repair done to get it back to like new. Maybe you were in a low impact collision, scraped the door backing out of the garage, or worst of all, your entire car has been randomly keyed or vandalized. Whatever the reason, there are a number of solutions available to you in the car paint repairs market. Not only will your vehicle be looking better, but it will also be better protected with all of its metal covered in paint and protected from the elements that cause rust.The first thing I want to look at is why car paint repairs are necessary. To put it simply paint is fashion and function. The paint protects the metal underneath, which is vulnerable to various elements, most notably the weather, but road salt and further chipping factor in as well. Damage that is not attended to immediately can lead to costly future repairs down the road. There is no benefit at all to waiting to do a repair.Most auto paint repairs are simple procedures. For smaller scratches, dents, and scrapes you can go with a zone repair. A zone repair is a cost effective solution as it only focuses on a specific spot of your vehicle and does a seamless repair of it without painting the entire panel. This is done by isolating the area with tape and paper, while the repair person blends the paint just perfectly to match the original colour. A professional at this technique can do it in a way that matches the paints original factory look and colour around the repair so that no one will ever be able to tell that any damage ever happened. This can be done on side panels, hoods, trunks, and doors. It saves time, money and value over the cost of a repair to the entire panel. It often allows the repair to be done below the cost of your insurance deductible.For larger damaged areas a complete repaint of the entire panel may be necessary. This can be done at a reasonable cost, but not as cheaply as a zone repair. Remember that this is about protecting your car, and ensuring the greatest value for it in the long run. Do not go with the most economical option. Choose what is best for the long term in keeping your car its best. If there is heavy damage to the metal under the panel it may be necessary to replace the entire panel. This would be unfortunate as this is costly and often requires a repaint of the new panel to match the look and colour of the rest of the vehicle, but there is no good that will come of having an old panel on that rusts.So whether it was your own fault, an accident of someone else's doing, or you were the victim of vandalism, it is essential for the long term use of your car that even the smallest dings and chips get attended to. Failure to do so can lead to rust which will dramatically reduce the value of your vehicle. Get immediate automotive paint repair specialists to look at your car to correct this type of damage.

The Pilgrim Trend

Each year brings a new batch of looks, styles and trends for us to try. Some work and some just do not. Some will last for a few seasons whilst others will fall off the fashion radar and never be heard of or seen ever again. From the successful lace look which has been ever popular in the style world, to the more unsuccessful dungarees look which tried to make a comeback late last year but did not really take off and failed miserably. This is all part and parcel of the fashion world. A style can be in one minute, and out the next. Committing to looking good every day is something that you need to keep your eye on.One look that is reported to be big this coming season is the pilgrim trend. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, it is a style of dressing that relates back to the pilgrimage of the American ancestors and the clothes they wore. You may have to think back to those history lessons to remember the time period in history to get an idea of what has influenced the look. Of course the look has not been totally replicated. Picture a more updated version of the historical look with added details such as lace, sequins and frills and you have the idea. No one wants to look they have just stepped back in time to an earlier era.Many high end designer brands have caught on to the pilgrim trend and are using this in their collections. Large over coats, wide brimmed hats, Amish shoes, lengthy dresses, tie collars and white over-sized shirts have all been seen gracing the catwalks of high end names and labels. If it seems like a style you would consider wearing, you can easily get the look by pairing a few pilgrim style pieces with your more day to day clothing.A tie collar top teamed with a pair of black skinny jeans and some patent brogues will add up to a great on trend look this season. Or you could try a night time look made up of a pilgrim style dress and a pair of black shoe boots whilst accessorising with some black knee high socks.There are many ways in which you can incorporate the latest trend into your already bulging wardrobe. Just select a few key pieces and pair with daily basics and you are on your way to a winning look.
