NT Auto Body's Waterborne Paint Systems Will Make Your Car Look Brand New
NT Auto Body uses state-of-the-art facilities and technologies, and we are proud to be one of the first shops in the area to go green with waterborne paint systems.
Aside from conforming with volatile organic compound (VOC) regulations and the EPA's National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) guidelines, going green is also the right thing to do in terms of minimizing chemicals that can harm the environment, which can also adversely impact worker health.
According to the EPA, VOCs can irritate the eyes, nose and throat, cause headaches, have neurological effects and cause damage to the liver and kidneys, as well as the nervous system. They may even be carcinogenic.
This is why waterborne automobile paints are beneficial. Their advantages include:
- Reduced toxicity and healthier for crews as the chemicals do not persist in the air as much
- Less clear coat required, as waterborne paint requires thinner application, meaning less clear coat is needed to even out the surfaces of different layers
- Cleaner and brighter than solvent-based paint
These are just some of the benefits of switching to waterborne paint systems. At NT Auto Body we pride ourselves in being ahead of the curve.
The Cheaper and Quicker Alternative to Dent Repairs at NT Auto Body Inc.
Repairing these dents usually involves repainting an entire panel. This is expensive and time-consuming. But even if you have it repainted, a panel repaint will always fade at a different rate.
Repainting is not the only way to fix car dents though. A popular alternative to conventional methods for repairing dents is Paintless Dent Repair.
Paintless Dent Repair works by reshaping the panel without filling or painting over the damage. So this method is a cheaper and quicker option for repairing dents and dings.
During PDR, specialized tools are used to press and massage the damaged panel from the inside. This pushes out the dented metal, restoring it to its pristine condition. In addition to being cheaper and quicker, PDR also maintains the manufacturer’s paintwork finish, keeping your car’s value.
PDR requires manipulating the precise locations of the metal to the correct height so it should only be performed by a highly skilled technician. At NT Auto Body, our technicians can make your car dents disappear, almost like it never happened.
