How to Identify Car Scratches?
1 Answers
It depends on the degree of paint exposure at the scratched area. A slight surface scratch means the clear coat is penetrated and the color coat is damaged, but the color coat is not fully scratched through. A moderate scratch refers to damage that has penetrated both the clear coat and color coat, but hasn't reached the primer layer. Such scratches are usually caused by sharp objects. A deep scratch means not only the clear coat and color coat are penetrated, but also the primer layer is scratched through. This type of scratch can only be repaired by repainting.
