We estimate the extent of damage to
The paint layer may deteriorate under the influence of the environment or mechanical damage. Defects such as chips, cracks, and detachment can appear in it. As a result, restoration of paintwork may be required. In some cases, it is enough to make a small repair, and the product will rejoice again, in others it will take more effort. Whatever it was, it's important to know how the repair is done.
First we will consider what includes minor repairs of paintwork. The schedule for such work should be annual. The fact is that even small cracks can eventually develop into serious damage, threatening, for example, roofing corrosion. The fine work includes leveling the surface of paint and varnish, repair of cracks.
We plan to repair the paint coating
This operation is laborious and requires "perseverance".For its implementation, you can contact a specialist. You can do this work yourself, if the problem has a small amount. So, let's start a discussion of how to perform a local repair of the paintwork with your own hands.
Here is the list of tools you will need for work: grinding machine, abrasive paper, grinding paste, paint and varnish. The main tool is patience and desire. When the work is done by oneself, it is possible that the coverage will be uneven. It's not scary. The place in which the coating stands on a general background can be ground using a special paste.
Applying the stencil to restore the layer can localize irregularities. In this case, leveling the surface will be easier and faster. In order for the stencil not to slide, it can be fixed with adhesive tape, but a cut or hole should be done with a small margin in comparison with the corrected problem.
In order for the paint finish to be ideal, it is necessary to monitor the amount of use of the restoring paint and the layers of the applied varnish. Do not overdo it with the amount of paint. You also need to be careful not to hurt a good site. When the bump is small, grind it manually, holding the abrasive paper between the fingers.
The main stages of the restoration of the
coating Repair of the chipping of paintwork begins with the fact that we select the right color and tone of paint. How to do it? The best option is to take a small detail from the repaired construction and go with it to the store. And what to do when it's impossible? It is necessary to select by eye, or several times to run into the store and change the unsuitable tone.
First, we determine the depth of the chip. If the bottom surface is metal and the chip is deep, it means that the metal is grinded for cleaning from corrosion. In addition, it may be necessary to apply a primer, if circumstances require.
Also before painting, it is necessary to read in the instructions whether the product to be painted has to be treated with something. If - yes, we do, while using a stencil. There should be few layers of paint, as the final stage of the work will be covering the working area with several layers of varnish. If the chip is located on a small surface area, you can cover the entire area with a clear varnish.
To see possible irregularities, use a normal light bulb, pointing light on the surface at an angle of 15-20 degrees, and mark these places. Since the varnish and the paint dries for several hours, the entire stage of work can be delayed for several days. If the crack is small, increase the abrasive slightly and proceed in accordance with the above recommendations.
