Is it necessary to go to a 4S shop for the first paint touch-up of a new car?

The first paint touch-up for a new car does not necessarily require a visit to a 4S shop. If the area is large, requires sheet metal work, and is not self-paid, you can go to a 4S shop for the touch-up; if these conditions are not met, it is not recommended to go to a 4S shop for the touch-up. Minor scratches can be resolved by purchasing a touch-up pen that matches the car's color or using scratch wax after washing the car. Moderate scratches can be handled at nearby decoration and beauty shops or quick repair shops, eliminating the need to visit a 4S shop. Advantages of going to a 4S shop: The paint mixed at a 4S shop is closer to the original color, but the cost is also higher. If the area is large and requires sheet metal work, you can go to a 4S shop for the touch-up, as current 4S shops have advantages in color matching and sheet metal work. If it involves insurance and vehicle compensation, it is advisable to go to a 4S shop, as they are more comprehensive. If self-paid, you can choose a place with reasonable prices, good service, and convenient transportation. Paint color difference: No matter where the touch-up is done, there will be some color difference. If the car is new and has not been used for long, the color difference will be very slight. White car paint touch-ups have the most severe color difference because white is a pure color, and even slight differences are easily noticeable under sunlight.
