How to Deal with Paint Peeling Exposing Metal?

[VonJanelle]

For small scratches without rust stains, you can simply clean the area and use a touch-up paint pen for self-repair. If rust stains appear, you can use ultra-fine water sandpaper dipped in water to sand in the same direction until the rust is removed. After wiping it clean, apply primer. Once the primer is dry, smooth it with water sandpaper and then use a touch-up paint pen for touch-up. Here is some additional information: 1. Touch-up paint pen: A touch-up paint pen is a must-have tool for beginners. If you don't have one temporarily, toothpaste can be used as a substitute. Toothpaste can reduce the appearance of scratches and provide some isolation to prevent rust. For minor scratches, it generally works fine, but this is only a temporary solution. 2. For larger scratches: In this case, professional repair at a 4S shop is needed. This usually involves repainting. If there are other small scratches on the car body that have been self-treated, they should also be repainted at the same time to avoid color discrepancies.
