There’s nothing like a fresh coat of paint to make your car look brand new again. A good repaint not only brings back that glossy shine, but it also protects the surface and helps keep the car’s value high. The problem? Many car owners run into repainting issues that leave the finish looking less than perfect.
The good news is that most of these problems are easy to avoid if you know what to look out for—and if you choose the right paint. That’s why professionals worldwide trust KAPCI Paint for reliable, long-lasting results. And here at Fidel Associates, we make sure you get genuine KAPCI products every time.
Let’s look at the most common repainting problems and how to stop them in their tracks.
Paint Bubbling or Blistering
What it looks like:
Tiny bubbles under the paint surface ruin the smooth finish.
Why does it happen?
Moisture, oil, or dust got trapped before painting.
How to prevent it:
- Always start with a clean, dry surface.
- Use high-quality paint like KAPCI Paint, which is designed to spread evenly without trapping particles.
Color Mismatch
What it looks like:
A freshly painted section that doesn’t quite match the rest of the car.
Why does it happen?
Poor color matching or low-quality paint.
How to prevent it:
- Choose a paint brand with advanced color-matching technology (KAPCI has one of the most accurate databases in the industry).
- Stick with trusted suppliers like Fidel Associates, so you know you’re getting the real thing.
Peeling or Flaking Paint
What it looks like:
Paint starts to lift, peel, or flake off, leaving the car exposed to rust.
Why does it happen?
Improper surface prep or poor paint adhesion.
How to prevent it:
- Sand, prime, and clean the surface before painting.
- Invest in durable paints like KAPCI Paint, known for their strong bonding and long-lasting finish.
The “Orange Peel” Effect
What it looks like:
A bumpy, uneven surface that looks a bit like an orange peel.
Why does it happen?
Poor spraying technique or cheap paint.
How to prevent it:
- Follow correct spraying techniques to get even coverage.
- Use premium products like KAPCI Paint, which are formulated for smooth, professional-looking results.
Fading and Dullness
What it looks like:
Paint that’s lost its shine or turned dull from sun and weather exposure.
Why does it happen?
UV rays and harsh conditions wear down the finish.

- Keep your car looking sharp with regular waxing and maintenance.
