2 Answers
Methods for car touch-up painting: 1. Clean the scratched area thoroughly; 2. Prepare a touch-up paint kit, soak the sandpaper in water, and wrap it around a hard cotton block; 3. Use the wrapped sandpaper to sand the scratched area until it feels level with the surrounding paint when touched by hand; 4. Use tape and cloth to cover areas that do not need touch-up painting; 5. Prepare a touch-up pen and a mini spray can, and assemble them together; 6. Start spraying the paint from a certain distance from the scratch. The sprayed paint will make the car's paint smoother. Spray back and forth, avoiding concentrated spraying in one spot, until the color covers the black area; 7. After the paint dries, prepare blending clear coat, which helps the touched-up paint color blend better with the car's original color and protects the touched-up paint; 8. Assemble the blending clear coat on the mini spray can, maintain a certain distance from the car, and spray it back and forth on the touched-up area, avoiding areas that were not touched up; 9. Wait a moment, and the touch-up painting is complete.
Last time my car got a scratch, I did the touch-up myself. First, clean the damaged area thoroughly, then use fine sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges. Apply putty to fill the dents and wait for it to dry before sanding it smooth. Buy a spray paint that matches the car color, shake it well, and spray thin layers from about 20 centimeters away, applying three coats for even coverage. Finally, spray a layer of clear coat to prevent oxidation and enhance gloss. Remember to mask the surrounding body with newspaper and tape before spraying. The tools cost just a few dozen yuan, but color matching is hard to avoid, so this method is only suitable for small areas. For larger scratches, it’s better to take it to a shop for computer-matched paint.
