How to Repair Car Scratches That Expose the Primer?
1 Answers
If your vehicle's scratches have exposed the primer, it is advisable to visit a scratch repair shop as soon as possible to prevent rusting and corrosion of the surrounding paint. Below are detailed solutions for different types of scratches: 1. Minor Scratches: For minor scratches, polishing can restore the shine of the paint. Use a polishing wheel with a polishing compound to remove debris and oxidation from the paint, smoothing out the fine scratches. The compound also penetrates the paint, restoring its original luster. 2. Deeper Scratches: For deeper scratches, check if the metal surface is exposed. If not, rust is unlikely. Apply touch-up paint carefully with a fine brush, dotting it onto the scratch, and wait for it to dry completely. 3. Deep and Narrow Scratches: For deep, narrow scratches, use colored putty for effective repair. Sand the scratched area lightly without enlarging it, ensuring it is clean. Apply the putty meticulously to fill the scratch completely, then finish with a compound and wax. 4. Exposed Primer Scratches: If the scratch has exposed the primer, visit a scratch repair shop immediately to prevent rust and further damage to the surrounding paint.
