BMW 530 door chipped paint should be repaired. Exposed primer not only affects aesthetics but also leads to rust. Methods for car paint repair: Minor scratches can be fixed using a touch-up pen followed by waxing. However, if the paint damage is significant and reaches the primer, it must be professionally sanded and spray-painted with baking finish. Typically, an entire panel needs repainting. Precautions for car paint repair: Always go to specialized large repair shops or 4S dealerships. Pay attention to color matching between the mixed paint and the original car paint, and use OEM or branded paint whenever possible.

If you drive a high-end car like the BMW 530, don't take even a small scratch on the door lightly. I've had a similar issue with my own car—I ignored a tiny spot, and during the southern rainy season, moisture seeped in. Within weeks, rust spread, making repairs both troublesome and costly. Once the paint is damaged, exposed metal can be corroded by rain or even car wash water, potentially leading to rust on the door panel over time. Minor touch-ups can be handled with professional spray paint or a touch-up pen—don't let it escalate. While BMW's original paint is expensive, its anti-rust performance is excellent, and investing in protection helps maintain the car's value. I recommend finding a reputable shop to assess the damage first; spending a little now ensures safety. Keeping a car in good condition long-term depends on regular maintenance.

Whether to touch up the chipped paint on the door depends on the actual impact. If it's in an inconspicuous area like the lower part, you can temporarily cover it with a car sticker. If it's in a prominent spot, it's better to repair it for aesthetics. BMW bodies are prone to rust, and once the paint is damaged, moisture enters quickly, leading to higher costs for rust-related part replacements. I've consulted repair shops—small touch-ups cost a few hundred yuan, which is more cost-effective than ignoring it. Considering both cost and safety, addressing it early avoids bigger issues. The car's usage environment also matters; extra protection is needed in humid areas.

The paintwork of the BMW 530 is beautiful, but any damage should be repaired promptly. Small scratches can lead to rust, compromising the structure. It is recommended to check the size of the damage—if it's not noticeable, it can wait, but if it's obvious, a touch-up is necessary. Rust prevention is key, and repairs will ensure long-lasting durability.

What are the methods for dealing with car scratches?

Methods for dealing with car scratches vary depending on the situation: 1. Scuffs: Apply a coating agent matching the car body color to the scratched area, ensuring even treatment across the entire body; 2. Minor scratches: Use water-soaked sandpaper to sand in straight lines along the same direction, remove rust spots and clean, then apply primer. After the primer dries, sand it smooth with water sandpaper and use a touch-up pen for coloring; 3. Small scratches: Wipe in straight lines until the scratch disappears, then polish with a compound and apply wax; 4. Deep scratches without primer exposure: Use a fine brush tip to apply touch-up paint, then apply fine wax after the paint dries; 5. Deep scratches with primer exposure: Wash and dry the car, apply rust remover to the scratched area, wait 10 to 15 minutes, then wipe off the rust remover with tissue paper.
