Original paint? How to check?

@Broken

All re-paint doesnt need welding as some times a minor Dents can cause to Re-paint, n i have all sense including Common Sense which might b lacking at ur side, No Offence.

All re-conditioned r not re-painted but many of thm does.

[levin]

lol dude dont u know just use ur commons sense obviously if a car is welded frm inside then then for sure its accidented so it must be repainted

broken: Yr theory wont work on all repainted cars, A repainted car need not to be accidented to get a fresh coat of paint! But anyway, that's a typical theory used by buyers/sellers in local car market so it works for them:)

@porsche and levin

lol i didnt say wht u both are pointing out lol i never said that every repaint car is welded lol i said if a car is welded then it must have a repaint atleast at that part lol got it ? guys

so it need common sense here peeps if a car is welded how come it can have orginal paint obviously it got a repaint at that part atleast so got ma point ? and the welded part was just one point to make sure that its that part is repainted or not

@porshce

wht u call a reconditioned car ?

[Damned]

Suppose if you suspect that a door is repainted then open it up and check door's inside paint with the one you see outside, if its repainted the difference would be there (same condition applies for other body parts).

@porsche_maker is absolutely right. That is the ultimate check usually a car is rarely painted unless a body panel is dented and the mechanics here do not do proper method of removing dents which involves careful metal-shrinking through heat instead they just use body-fillers, thus knocking does not give a resonant sound but on the contrary a hollow sound revealing a repaired dent and repaint.

@ALL

Repainted cars, no matter how good the painter is, will have an Orange Peel Effect to it....

does it relates on fading of the colour of the caR?

[AkbarGr8]

@BROKEN,

for your kind info buddy, we are not importing reconditioned cars, but USED cars. THey are not necessarily repainted in most cases.. Whereas local dealers do buy accidental cars and repair them here, hence selling at a good profit... So no need to label all imported cars as REPAINTED!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[robin]

there are devices that tell u this thing. even if its reapinted well it'll do for me.

I'll take a repainted car anyday (provided I was buying a used car) rather than a peice of junk that people call 'in original condition'.

[bluntknife]

i second cylestyne, i cant understand the fuss surrounding a car being repainted.

i third cylestyne, i cant understand the fuss surrounding a car being repainted.

nowadays original paint and repaint dosen't matter in the end its the over all apperance of the car if you your self give it 4/5 than go for it
1- Over all body condition specially body around tail lights+door hinges+ under carpet.
2- Paint shine/appearance all over the car.
3- body above fenders and bonnet edges.
4- rubber moldings of the car .
5- your heart whisper
