RE-finishing the Job.

When speaking about the auto collision industry, the best way to judge a paint and body shop is by the paint they use. You probably realize that not all paint is created equal, but do you know what quality makes some paint jobs better than others? There are three major aspects that make up a quality paint job.

 

Here is a simple breakdown –

1.  The Primer…it holds the paint to the body

2.  The Paint itself…it may very well require two or more coats

3.  The Clear Coat…this is what really makes it shine

Arrow Body and Fender uses only Axalta. It is very simply a top of the line product and they WILL NOT substitute a product just because it is on sale! For quality auto body refinishing in Chicagoland count on Arrow Body and Fender every time. They are located at 7536 W. Grand Ave. in Elmwood Park. Look them up at arrowbodyandfender.com.

Wow! I Never Saw it Coming!

Those are famous last words around Chicago especially when you lose in a bout with Black Ice. It is an almost invisible menace on some of the roadways around Chicagoland. For those of you who have driven our highways and byways for years around here perhaps you have already encountered this menace.

For newbies to our area (especially from the South and West) here is a quick explanation. Perhaps the best definition of black ice is a thin coat of highly transparent ice on the roadway. The reason it is transparent is because it blends in with road pavements since it is so thin, making it nearly impossible to see. It looks like the color of the road.

When you encounter Black Ice please tap your brakes and steer in the direction of your slide. It may seem counter-intuitive, but it may avoid a tow to the body shop.
