How to deal with scratched paint revealing white on a black car?

For scratches on black car paint that reveal white, you can use a touch-up paint pen to cover it. The white marks won't rust. Alternatively, you can go directly to a 4S shop to have some black paint sprayed or opt for polishing treatment. Here are two methods to deal with scratched paint revealing white on a black car: 1. Use a touch-up paint pen to do it yourself by following the instructions on the pen. The advantage of this method is that it's economical, but the downside is that it's difficult to achieve a finish that matches the original paint. 2. Have it done professionally at a 4S shop with specialized equipment, which can restore the paint to match the original. The advantage of this method is the aesthetic result, but the downside is the higher cost.
My black car got scratched a while ago, and the exposed white was very noticeable. I immediately wiped the scratched area clean with a damp cloth to ensure there was no dust. Then, I spent a few dozen dollars online to buy a dedicated touch-up paint pen kit, which included a small bottle of black paint, cleaner, and fine sandpaper. Following the instructions, I first lightly sanded the area to smooth it out and avoid roughness, then applied a thin layer of touch-up paint, waiting for each layer to dry before applying the next. With patience, the white part was covered. After letting it dry overnight, I applied some car wax for protection. The color matched pretty well, and from a distance, it looked fine, saving me a lot of money. If the scratch was deep enough to expose the metal, I would take it to a professional shop immediately to prevent rust from rain exposure. Usually, I pay extra attention when parking to avoid sharp objects, and addressing minor flaws promptly can extend the paint's lifespan.
