Car experts recommend that you should be very careful when painting your car. To be on the safe side, here are some tips that you should remember.
Go for safe colors
Safe colors are colors of cars that are least involved in accidents. Statistics show that risky cars are more likely to be pulled over by police and in some cases, they tend to be charged higher premiums.
One of the most risky colors that you should avoid for your car is red. This is because statistics have shown that red cars are usually involved in at least 80% of accidents.
Some of the car colors that you should go for are white and silver. Cars with these colors have been shown to be involved in very few accidents. This is because they are very visible both during the day and at night. Cars with these colors also attract lower insurance premiums.
Consider the image that you want to project.
Different automotive paints convey different images. For example, if you want to project elegance and class, you should go for black color. If you want to stand out and get the attention of many people, you should go for red color; however, if you’re going to keep a low profile on the road, you should go for a neutral color such as tan or beige.
Go for popular colors.
Just like clothes, car colors come and go, and it’s common to find a car color today and be unable to get it in coming years. To make your repainting work accessible in the coming years, you should paint your car with popular colors.
Some of the popular colors that you should consider are blue, red, silver, white, green, black, grey, gold, yellow, and mauve.
A popular color is easy to find in the local stores which makes your work easy if you want to repaint your car in future. For example, if your bumper gets scratched after an accident, you don’t have to repaint the entire car; you only need to find the respective paint and repaint the bumper.
This would be impossible if you painted your car using a rare color. Here you would be forced to repaint your entire car with a different paint as it would be impossible to find the rare color.
Go for colors that match the style of your car.
The model of your car greatly determines the color that you should go for. For example, bright colors such as red and yellow usually look great on sports cars, but look weird on conventional cars such as sedans.
