How to Deal with Peeling Paint on the Car Roof?
2 Answers
Clean the area to be repaired with a towel, wrap sandpaper around a sponge backing, and use water to smooth out any raised spots. Fill the dented areas with putty. After the putty dries, use sandpaper with water to sand down the filled spots. Use masking tape to cover areas that should not be painted with newspaper or tape, then prepare for painting. Attach the paint pen to the spray can and test the color. If the paint pen solution is too thick or the color is too dark, use a dropper to add thinner to the touch-up paint pen. Prepare the clear coat. Remove the touch-up paint pen and dropper, replace with a new dropper, and install the clear coat onto the spray can.
If there's a spot of paint peeling on my car roof, I usually first check how big the area is. If it's just the size of a coin, I'll handle it myself with a touch-up pen. Before touching up, I need to thoroughly clean the spot, first using sandpaper to gently remove rust and loose paint, then wiping it clean with alcohol. After letting it dry, I slowly apply the touch-up paint bit by bit, waiting for each layer to dry completely before applying the next, and finally sand and polish it to make it smoother. Doing it myself can save a few hundred bucks, and the full set of tools can be bought online. But the key is to ensure the working environment is dry, otherwise bubbles or dust contamination can easily occur.
