What to Do If You Scratch Someone Else's Car Paint?

[StAnderson]

You need to contact the car owner and the insurance company. If the damage is severe, you should also contact the traffic police. There are two methods for car paint spraying: 1. Base Coat: The pearl silver-pink base coat is applied in three layers. The first layer is a mist spray, where the spray gun moves quickly to create a thin, fog-like coating over the repair area or the entire car, ensuring the paint adheres to the primer. The second layer covers the primer or putty red-gray layer, revealing the color. Be careful to avoid issues like silver-pink paint spots or unevenness, and the spray gun can move slightly faster. The third layer corrects any unevenness or spots from the second layer. The goal is to achieve a uniform color coverage over the repair area or the entire car. 2. Clear Coat: After applying the base coat, allow it to flash dry for 5–15 minutes to let some solvents evaporate and the coating to dry. You can spray the clear coat when the base coat is dry enough that touching it lightly with a finger doesn’t leave color residue. If the base coat surface is rough or dusty, use a tack cloth and compressed air to wipe and blow off dust, then clean with a degreaser.
