How to Repair Paint Damage From Acid Rain

Acid rain is caused when pollutants such as nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide combine in the atmosphere and come down with the rain. If you wash your car after it is rained on by acid rain, there will typically be no harm done to your cars paint finish. If you are not able to wash it immediately, there might be damage to your paint. The damage will look like dried water droplets, or a white ring with a clear center. There are different ways to repair the paint, depending on the extent of the damage.

Instructions

1

Inspect the extent of the damage to your vehicles paint. There are three different levels of damage. The first level is the least severe and will need very little repair. This is where the damage is only to the surface of the clearcoat of the car. If the damage goes into the clearcoat, it is considered level 2 damage. Damage through the clearcoat and basecoat is considered level 3 damage.

2

Wash off the car. Regardless off how much damage there is, washing the car is necessary to get any residue off from the acid rain and to clean off the area you are about to repair. Once the car has been washed, dry it thoroughly and then apply wax to the area you are going to repair.

3

Repair the car paint according to the amount of damage that has occurred. For damage just to the surface, use wet sandpaper and gently sand the damaged area.

4

Repaint a clearcoat for damage that has occurred to the clearcoat after you have sanded the area. Allow time to dry and apply two to three coats as needed.

5

Repaint the basecoat and clearcoat once sanding is completed if the damage is into the basecoat. Allow one to two hours between coats and apply two to three basecoats as well as two to three coats of clearcoat.

6

Buff the area with a wool buffing pad and a buffer.
