If left unprotected, a factory-applied clear coating can begin to deteriorate within as little as just a few months, allowing ample room for all manner of contaminant to eat into the paint underneath. So while a clear coat’s job is to protect the base coat of paint from direct exposure to the elements, allowing this sacrificial lamb to be slaughtered is both foolish and financially irresponsible.
名下几台车有点多。此车前轮悬挂系双叉臂,6缸大心脏,有些许操控感,车况颇佳,本来想放着备而不用,但是毕竟时间是把杀猪刀,车漆开始斑驳。于是动手“整备”,使用汽配店配置的喷罐原车底色漆,透明面漆也是喷罐(High Gloss Finish Clear Coat Spray Paint),简单做了“面子”工程。查了网上相应的售卖报价,开价选了比Outstanding少200,付$5在craigslist.org上挂牌。
登广告两个多星期,吃瓜群众反映还是比较快,十一、二个信息联系,7、8拨人上门看车。18岁的小美男生副驾驶兜了一圈便对上了眼,其父知道小儿子喜欢这个我加上去的带尾翼、鲨鱼稽的Acura是得来全不费功夫。老美比较内行,说换正时带需要$900,一个讨价还价砍掉$700,$4K8成交。(老美拎得很清,银行5K信封里抽掉两张后换我的title)
之前的看车人中,有一华人新移民,80岁,操上海口音,其独生女儿说“车子非常漂亮干净”,她的上了年纪的老美夫婿负责验车。老人心中的颜色是略微明亮的蓝,这个深蓝入不了老人的法眼,加上老人家不用iPhone,必须要有车载GPS屏幕,两个硬伤注定命运。
基本如“新”没啥毛病)。08款,17万英里,发动机舱:

有漆面上的“台阶”,因此要用能够填充的灰色厚底漆处理这个台阶,打磨平整,然后需要原车底漆喷涂,最后喷上2、 3层clear coat。好在色差很小。
最烦的是喷漆的准备工作 -- 遮挡。
现在卖车真是好时候,什么年份和里程的都能卖个不错的价钱。你这车虽然年份很老了,里程相对还不高。买主也不亏,买到了修车大牛亲手保养的车
