Does a small scratch on a car require a full repaint?
1 Answers
It depends on the situation. If it's just a minor scratch or paint chip, a full repaint is not necessary. Here are specific details about paint repair: 1. Minor damage: Daily use inevitably leads to scratches on the car paint from hard objects. For such minor damage, besides passive acceptance, proactive prevention is possible. Applying wax every 1-2 months or installing wear-resistant patches on frequently affected areas can help prevent minor scratches to some extent. 2. Light damage: In most cases of this level of damage, the scratches on the paint surface are already very visible. In such situations, it is recommended to use a touch-up pen for treatment. 3. Moderate damage: When the paint shows obvious peeling, exposing the primer, it's essential to address it promptly to prevent rusting of the exposed steel from rain or other elements.
