Should Rice-Sized Paint Chips Be Repaired?

[Mandy]

It is recommended that car owners do not repair the paint. Cases where paint repair is advisable: If the area of paint damage is relatively small, repairing it usually requires repainting an area about the size of a palm, which a 4S shop can handle. However, when the paint damage is the size of a grain of rice, it is recommended that car owners refrain from repairing it. If the car is hit by flying stones while driving, resulting in small dents and rice-sized paint damage, such damage actually does not require repair. Introduction to paint layers: Generally, scratches on the paint surface are concentrated in the clear coat layer. These minor scratches can be removed through simple polishing. If the scratch penetrates deeper, damaging the paint layer, the only solution is to repaint.
