Will Factory Paint Naturally Crack?

[DiMiranda]

Factory paint will not naturally crack. However, if corrosive substances adhere to the car's surface and are not removed for a long time, it can cause the paint to crack. Below are some extended tips on car maintenance: 1. Regular Inspection: Periodically check the car's paint surface. If cracks or scratches are found, address them promptly to prevent further damage from wind and sun exposure. For minor scratches or chips, the usual treatment involves sanding the surface with water sandpaper, then applying a professional touch-up paint pen or using the auxiliary paint provided by the manufacturer. 2. Avoid Using Car Covers for Heat Protection: Using a car cover can cause friction between the paint surface and the cover's interior, especially in breezy conditions, which can inadvertently wear down the paint surface. 3. Avoid Repainting Unnecessarily: Some owners, upon noticing minor scratches, opt to repaint the entire car. This is not advisable. Firstly, it is economically inefficient. Secondly, repainting involves sanding down the existing paint, reapplying new paint, and resealing, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Additionally, repainted surfaces often lack the natural look and gloss of the original factory paint.
