i got my 95 integra RS painted a base/clear integrated 700$ paint job, came out nice, but then 2 days later when im at my girls house it starts raining and pouring hard.. i had no choice but to leave it out there for a bit then drove home when it was raining.. when got home it went in garage, but now what do i do? juss leave it all dirty and not wash it for 2 weeks? or can i just spray it with water and let all dirt come off but not touch it with anything?? help please?

 

if your afraid of the rain you shouldn't be driving it, rap it in plastic and put it in the garage.

 

he's talkin about is rain bad for a new paint job and yes it is hopfully it didnt hurt the paint but yeah new paint shouldnt be tough or in counter with water till after 2 weeks

ask paint shop, i dont want to drive allt he way there, why not jus fckin post online instead. and i have 5 year warrantee on paint , so if i ask them they will always come back and say "oh u drove in rain, we cant fix that its ur fault" . so what if i post online about stuff. why da fck do u care ur juss a fckin user on HONDA-tech. all my post are complete common sense? lol then everybody in this world must be a honda expert inside and out. i did fckin search, it just shows up with 2 threads about fresh paint and rain. come on u should do something other then try to talk ****. buffin out a base/clear integrated paint job isnt something, so i guess "some ppl on ht dont know **** waht their talkin about" is u.

 

you dont have to go to the paint shop to ask a question. unless they are stuck in the stone age im sure they have a phone... call and ask them...

but Still, if i do that they will remember it on me that it happened and IF my paint does get defected, they wont REpair it beacuse they will bring up the fact that i drove in the rain. so its better if paint shop doesnt know that i drove it during rain. im not stupid to confess something like that to them when i know i have 5 year warantee on it.

 

Then call another paint shop or a detail shop.

 

When you left the shop, did they instruct you not to drive in the rain, or to garage the car for a certain period of time? If not, how would calling them and asking their advice "void" your warranty? Not everyone owns a garage. When a car leaves a shop, it's reasonable to expect that it might be rained on.

 

by base/clear integrated do u mean a single-stage paint job? i work at the local nissan dealership in the bodyshop and we spray 2-stage paint. so if it is a 2-stage paint job then, no it doesnt matter if the car is washed. as a matter of fact we wash all the cars before they are delivered to the customers. and we warranty the paint job for as long as that customer owns the car. dont know if this helps but hope it does.

 

i washed one of my cars the day after I got it back from being painted, Im sure you are fine man

 

Yah, your fine. Rain will not hurt the paint. Most paint drys withing 24 hrs.

 

You are fine. I work at a bodyshop and cars are washed right after there painted. You must have waxing and washing it mixed up. You can wash but not wax.

SINgle stage paint job. thats why im kind of worried / wondering what will damage it.


most of u guys are reffering to 2 stage paint jobs gettin it washed right after, the guy who sold me the paint job didnt say anything about not driving in rain or lettin garage . he juss said 24 hour dry and that was it.

 

Speakin of paint jobs...

How much is a good price on a flat color paint job for teg's these days?

 

You are saying nothing that makes sense. People that do this **** for a living can tell what the hell happened to it, and also you said that they will void the warranty but then you said he didnt say anything about driving in the rain.... Wow just wow!

yes 5 year warrantee but he didnt tell me the specifics of it. yes he didnt tell me anything about atking care of it or anything. i said they MIGHT void the warrantee if i tell them that it happened during rain. ppl who do it for a living is the actual painters, the guy who deals with customers doesnt deal with paint, he juss does the finaicial and paperworks.

 

where did you go? how did it turn out?

about the washing, i heard from a friend of mine that works at a body shop that the cheaper places tell you to do that so you wont notice small imperfections that arnt coverd by the warrenty after a few weeks..

 

Call up pretending to be a different customer. Then you can find out. I also think it's that you cannot wax your car 30-90 days after you have fresh paint. washing should be fine.

They washed my friend's car after she had some body damage. Repaired her 1/4 panel and after the work (painting, blending clear coat, etc) was done, they wash it so it looks good.

Darn rain last night, my car is all mucky now too. I'll wait till tomorrow to make it all better.

You'll be fine

turned out good. pics are here https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1780876

i only paid 750$ but had a 10% discount cause my old car was painted there. integrated paint, so ther was no Base then Clear. ONe stage paint.

i guess imma juss leave it as is. not wash it for like a week or 2 and then wash it, juss gonna leave all that dirt and stuff on there till 1-2 weeks then wash it?

 

I would wash it just use a very mild detergent with more water than usual, and be gentle because there might still be a few soft spots..
