What are the methods to repair scratched car paint?
1 Answers
There are several methods to repair scratched car paint, including touch-up pen repair, spray painting, and computer color matching. For vehicles with shallow scratches, polishing can also be used for quick treatment. Methods to repair scratched car paint: Touch-up pen repair: Apply a touch-up pen with a similar color to the scratched area. This method is relatively simple, not complex in process, but has poor durability. It may wash off after several cleanings and is only suitable for short-term appearance maintenance and emergency repair. Spray painting: Use traditional methods to repair deep scratches, including rust removal and filler application. After drying, sand with water sandpaper repeatedly until smooth, then apply paint. This method affects a larger area of the original paint, takes longer to repair, may have some color difference, and the effect is slightly inferior. Computer color matching: This method uses new techniques, covers a smaller repair area, and, after treatment with special solvents, integrates the new and old paint surfaces seamlessly. It adheres firmly and can be repaired immediately. With proper repair techniques, the touch-up effect is excellent. Use a polishing wheel with polishing enhancer to remove the oxidation layer on the car's surface and smooth out minor scratches. The polishing agent penetrates the paint, causing a restorative reaction that not only removes shallow scratches but also refreshes the paint surface.
