Nigeria Used And Sprayed Cars Always Look Ugly At Night by fineboynl(op): 9:57pm On Nov 15, 2025
This topic is only applied to cars that was use and repainted in Nigeria. They tend to be ugly at night and worst when you drink alcohol .

Nigeria car painters are lagging behind and customers alike. The only thing they know how to do it fillers. Normally foreign countries use the best quality of paint and materials. They change car body parts instead of using fillers. Fillers is old and outdated. And only use is miniman areas if it can't be avoided.

It only takes me a second to look at a car and tell if it has been repainted or not, this is because the paint job is never great, yes, many Nigerian car painters are better off painting furniture, the glow that comes with their paint job is almost always terrible, many of the Tokunbo cars sent here have been repainted, yet they look like as they were from the factory, maybe the issue is about the quality of paint used, I want to lean on the skill and equipment of the painter, I mean they can't all be always unfortunate to buy poor quality paint.
My wife scratched my car two years ago while she tried to enter the gate of the building, she was still learning then, like a 10cm wide scratch on the right back door, the elements get to hit my car when parked, I do not have a canopy to park it under, yet I have refused to let any painter work on my car, I rather continue driving it like that than Pay several thousands of naira for a poorly done paint job, i see repainted cars and immediately feel pity for the owners.

The products and services majority of Nigerian merchants offer compared to the international market is really substandard and mediocre. This is nothing but the simple truth. Always looking to rip you off and never delivering the most optimum, highest quality.

Most of our artisans lack finishing touch and attention to details.
