Car paint scratches exposed primer? This kind of repair treatment makes your car look brand new!
Faced with the situation of scratches and primers in the car paint, many car owners feel at a loss. In fact, as long as you master the right restoration method, you can make your car shine again. This article will introduce in detail the steps and precautions for repairing car paint scratches and exposed primers to help you solve this problem easily.
1. Judge the depth of the scratch.
First of all, it is necessary to judge the depth of the scratch. If the scratch is light and only involves the surface varnish layer, then it is relatively simple to deal with. If the scratch is deep and the primer has been exposed, a more detailed restoration work is required.
2. Prepare the repair tool.
To repair paint scratches, you need to prepare corresponding tools, such as fine sandpaper, touch-up pens, paint repair agents, etc. These tools are readily available on the auto parts market or online**.
3. Repair steps.
Clean the scratched area: Thoroughly clean the scratched area with car wash liquid and water to ensure that the surface is free of dust, oil and other impurities.
Grinding scratches: Use fine sandpaper to gently sand the scratches, taking care to keep the force even, and avoid expanding the scratch range. The purpose of sanding is to remove burrs and uneven parts around scratches.
Primer: If the scratch is deep, you need to apply the primer first. Choose a primer that is similar to the color of the body and apply evenly to the scratches with a touch-up pen or a small brush. Once the primer has dried, proceed to the next step.
Paint: Choose the appropriate paint according to the color of the body, and also apply it evenly to the scratches with a touch-up pen or a small brush. Note that the application of the base paint should be divided into multiple times, and a thin layer should be applied each time to avoid color difference and heaviness.
Apply paint refinisher: After the base coat has dried, apply a layer of paint refinisher. The repair agent can fill the tiny pores of the paint surface and improve the gloss of the paint surface.
Polishing: Polishing the repaired area with a polishing machine or polishing wax to make the paint surface smoother and brighter.
4. Precautions.
Keep the environment clean during the repair process to avoid impurities such as dust falling into the scratched area.
When sanding with sandpaper, the force should be uniform to avoid damage to the paint surface caused by excessive sanding.
When painting, it should be divided into multiple times, and a thin layer should be applied each time to ensure that the paint surface is smooth and free of color difference.
Wait enough time for the repair agent to dry after application and don't rush to the next step.
Pay attention to the temperature and strength during the polishing process to avoid excessive polishing and loss of paint surface.
Through the introduction of the above steps and precautions, I believe you have a clear understanding of the repair treatment of car paint scratches and exposed primers. In practice, as long as you follow the steps and pay attention to the details, you can make your car shine again.
