Effective Ways to Deal with Car Paint Scratches
Is you paint damaged by road rash? The kind thats caused by small stones bouncing off your vehicle that you hardly notice? The one that follows small bumps due to accidents or plain carelessness?
You should keep an eye on them. Some may not look bad when you notice them but if it is a deep scratch or chip then it only gets worse. In the future these little scratches can lead to rust damage.
The owner and operator of Dr. paint chip says, there are several ways to fix these problems. Aside from spraying, Bode said the two common methods of paint chip repair are the paint blob and slurry.
In the past your technician, or even you, would do touch ups with paint blobs. Go to the parts store and find your cars pint pen color.
That is easier said than done. This technique is old and only works well with small scratches and chips. If there is allot of chips the process is vary time consuming. If done wrong the technique will leave a blob of paint and look worse then the chip.
Bode tells us that slurry is applied with a brush or sponge. Then excess paint is removed to give a polished look. While results are pretty good, Steve Bode revealed that they dont last long. In only a few weeks you must repeat this process.
Maybe youve tried buying the cheap touch-up paint at the local auto parts store. Youve pulled out that long brush that holds enough paint in one dunk of the bottle to cover half your bumper. You tap and maneuver the brush to get just enough paint on the tip to address the first few chips on your hood. Ever so carefully, you dab the tip on each chip, hoping to stay within the lines while watching the paint ooze beyond the area you intended to cover. You figure the paint will magically blend in once it dries. The next day you realize you gave your car a case of the measles, which now stands out more than the un-repaired chips, Steve Bode said.
There are many more home fix disasters out there. When the paint pen drips and bleeds to much paint, which happens when the tip is depressed, you lose control of the repair job. When it comes to several chips, don’t even try it.
