Is it necessary to repaint minor scratches?

[VonAlice]

It is not necessary to repaint minor scratches on a car if they are superficial and do not expose the metal body. Here is some relevant information: 1. Large-area repainting: Repainting large areas can affect the vehicle's resale value. For example, under the same condition, a car that has been repainted will be cheaper than one with minor scratches that have not been repainted. 2. Faster aging: Repainted surfaces age faster than the original factory paint because the repair paint is not as high-quality as the original. Even if color differences are not noticeable at first, they may appear over time, and in severe cases, the paint may even peel off. If the scratch is deep enough to expose the metal, it should be addressed promptly. Otherwise, even a small break in the paint can cause the steel plate to start rusting, and by then, repainting may not effectively prevent rust.
