Hey folks! This is Mike and Tom from Pacific One Collision and Restoration.

Welcome to another Q&A session where I answer questions from you all on the internet.

Today's question is:

"Why does cheap paintwork fail over time?"

Answer:
Cheap paintwork often fails because it doesn’t meet OE standards. There are lower-quality paints that don’t perform the same over time. At Pacific One, we use BASF Spray Dant paint, which meets or exceeds OE standards, and we provide a lifetime warranty on our workmanship as long as the customer owns the vehicle.

Summary:
Low-quality paint fails due to inferior materials, while Pacific One uses OE-quality BASF paint with a lifetime warranty.
