That’s why we are here – to help you choose the right paint brand that gives you that aesthetics that you want as well as durability. Well, if you’ve been reading our posts before now, you will agree with me that we have always recommended KAPCI paints, and that we still stand on.

Today, I will be showing you how to choose the right KAPCI paint for your car model in a very detailed way. Oh, you never knew there was something like this? This is getting interesting! Please I will like you to follow me with undivided attention. Let’s flow.

KAPCI Paints: Why It Is the Best Option

I wanted to go straight to our topic, but for the benefit of those who just bumped into this article and have not read why we recommend KACPI paints before, let me do a brief summary.

KAPCI is one of the most trusted car paint brands in Nigeria, characterized by its durability that lasts long, glossy finish, and ability to resist harsh weather. Unlike most of the affordable paints that fade their colors soon after being exposed to Nigeria’s hot sun and heavy rains, KAPCI paints are specially made to resist bad weather while remaining glossy.

KAPCI paints offer the following:

UV protection that prevents quick fading caused by the sun.
Scratch resistant formulas that reduces the impact of minor scratches and damages on the body.
Very simple to apply and compatible with most painting techniques and car models.
Durability that you can never imagine, even with the Nigeria harsh weather conditions.

Now that you’ve seen why we say “KAPCI is an excellent choice”, let me proceed to my main topic which is how you can choose the right KAPCI paint for your car model.

Selecting the Right Type of KAPCI Paint for Your Vehicle

I hope you are still following me closely? The first thing I want you to know is that there is no one paint that suits all car models, don’t allow anyone to deceive you. There are different types of KAPCI paints with distinct features. The incorrect one would be a material waste on a job that won’t last.

Types of KAPCI Automotive Paints and Their Applications

Here are the different types of KAPCI automotive Paints, their key features and where they are best applied. Read through carefully as this is the main part of the post.

1. KAPCI 660 Basecoat

This is the first one our list. It is best applied in Private cars like Toyota, Honda, Lexus, etc. The main features are: metallic and solid colors, dries quickly, needs clear coat.

2. KAPCI 670 2K Topcoat

The KAPCI 670 2K Topcoat is specially designed for SUVs and Luxury cars like BMW, Mercedes, etc. The Key features are durability, high gloss, and does not require clear coat.

3. KAPCI 605 Primer

This is very good for repainting used or old cars as it perfectly covers imperfection. You can use for brands like Mazda, Nissan, etc. The features cut across filling in imperfections and creating strong adhesion.

4. KAPCI 603 Clear Coat

The KAPCI 603 clear coat can go well in any vehicle. It basically protects basecoat and provides an everlasting shine.

Now, to draw a clearer illustration, if you’re repainting for instance a Toyota vehicle like corolla that already has some minor scratches, a KAPCI 670 2K topcoat will give it a new, glossy look without having to apply extra clear coating.

However, if you’re restoring an old Honda Accord for instance, using KAPCI 605 primer on the car’s surface before going ahead to apply the paint will make the color stick better and last longer too.

Choosing the Right Color for Your Car Model

Automobile manufacturers give a specific paint code to every model. To get the factory original color of your vehicle, locate the paint code on the manufacturer’s label, usually found:

Under the bonnet
In the driver’s door
On the trunk lid

But if at all you will be changing your colors, remember the following

White, black, and silver vehicles hold the best resale value.
Lighter shades like white and silver radiate heat, while dark shades like black and navy absorb it.
There is an easy maintenance with lighter colors as white hides scratches more than black.

How to Select KAPCI Paint for Nigeria’s Weather

Nigeria’s weather is not very friendly to car paint, ranging from the hot sun to the heavy rains and dusty harmattan winds. For this reason, a type of paint and protective coating that will resist these conditions has to be kept in mind while choosing.

Scorching Sun: It fades, oxidizes, and peels paint. KAPCI 670 2K topcoat with UV protection stops this from happening.
Heavy Rainfall: It brings about rusts and water spots. KAPCI 603 clear coat acts as a shield against this.
Harmattan Dust: It scratches and dulls paint surfaces. Application of KAPCI 660 Basecoat with clear coat reduces the damage.

Where to Buy Original KAPCI Paint in Nigeria

It will be very wrong if after showing you all that KAPCI paints do, I don’t show you best place to buy them. In fact, fake automobile paints flood the Nigerian market, and patronage to them destroy cars surface in a matter of months.
