What to Do When Scraping a Little Paint Off Someone Else's Car While Reversing?
1 Answers
When you scrape a little paint off someone else's car while reversing, you can resolve the dispute through insurance and third-party liability insurance. The extent of the paint damage should be assessed to determine the necessary touch-up. If the damage is severe or the other car owner is not present, you can call the traffic police (e.g., dial 122) to handle the situation. Below is relevant information about car paint touch-up: 1. If the scratch is severe, it should be repaired promptly to prevent the steel plate from rusting. When touching up the paint, ensure you use paint produced by a reputable manufacturer and hire a qualified professional painter. The paint used for touch-ups should be low-temperature baked, not the original high-temperature baked paint. 2. The touch-up paint color should be adjusted to closely match the current color of the car. Over time, car paint fades, so relying solely on the original factory color may result in noticeable differences. Therefore, the paint should be mixed on-site to achieve the best match for the current vehicle color. Additionally, choose a qualified and professional paint shop for the touch-up.
