What to Do If You Accidentally Chip Another Car's Paint When Opening the Door?

If there is no paint chipped, there are specialized dent repair shops that can fix it without touching the paint. If the paint is chipped, you can go anywhere for repair—fix the small dent and then repaint it. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Car Painting: Car painting refers to applying a layer of paint to the car's surface to protect it. Car painting generally uses baked paint. In car manufacturing plants, after the frame and body are welded, the next step is painting. Types include regular paint, metallic paint, and pearl paint. The car painting process includes applying putty, sanding, painting, etc. 2. Car Scratches: Generally, car scratches are divided into three levels: minor scratches on the body, damage to the body's surface paint, and damage to the body's primer or even deformation. For the first case, where there are minor scratches on the body, it’s not suitable to file an insurance claim, and going to a professional car beauty shop seems unnecessary. In this case, you can perform a DIY touch-up. You need to purchase a touch-up pen kit online with the same color code, which includes all necessary tools such as sandpaper, putty, polish, etc. The price of such a kit varies, and it’s recommended not to go for the cheapest option as the quality may not be guaranteed. The touch-up process doesn’t take too long, usually around two hours to complete.
