How to Repair Paint Chips?
2 Answers
You can go to an auto repair shop or shop online, and follow the instructions above to repair the paint-chipped area. You can use a spray paint that matches the color of your car's paint to handle it, just spray evenly. You can apply toothpaste to the area, which can also provide temporary rust-proofing and isolation. You can go to a car beauty shop for waxing and polishing treatment to restore its appearance.
I've done some DIY car paint repairs at home and found it quite convenient. First, clean the chipped area with water and soap, then use fine sandpaper around 600 grit to smooth it out, removing rust and debris. Apply touch-up paint or a paint pen matching your car's color in thin, even layers—don't rush with thick coats. Wait an hour for it to dry before adding a second layer. Finish with clear coat spray for protection and polish to blend it seamlessly. The tools cost just tens of yuan online, and I recommend doing it on clear days to avoid dust affecting the result. Simple process but patience is key, especially for beginners. Regular paint checks can also prevent further chipping.
