Scratches are one of the nuisances that you could have when it comes to keeping your car looking like new Of course scratches may not even be very much visible however for car owners who are very conscious about how their machine looks could find these little lines something to worry about After all a scratch when put together with other scratches could make a vehicle owner look like a very careless person

Of course there are various types of scratches on your cars paint There are small scratches that are barely seen There are even deeper ones that look like they have been carved to make you feel very guilty However for most scratches which are small these can be fixed and repaired by just using touch up paint On the other hand the larger ones need more attention and may actually require you to use paint sprayers or even assistance from those trained professionals

Before you start anything determine first if your cars exterior is painted with enamel If it is enameled the color may not mix well with lacquerbased primer paint On the other hand if your cars paint is not enameled you can then proceed to find the right kind of paint that would match your vehicles exterior color You would also be needed primer paint It is recommended that you use a light primer color so that your touchup paint will be easily applied

Time to turn to the scratch itself Wash it as well as the surrounding area with a mild laundry detergent Make sure that you remove any wax or other coatings that could affect the new paint that you will be applying later one Then you can now sand along the scratch Use a finegrained sandpaper to do this part If there is any rust accumulation sand them away as well Make sure also that you blow away all the dust Or you can also use a soft brush to remove the dust

Put masking tape and newspaper around the scratch But make sure that you leave around half an inch of working room around the area This would be to isolate the scratch when you start doing the removal Use a plastic knife to apply the body compound to the scratch Make sure that it is applied not only on the surface but within the scratch itself Wait until the compound hardens and when it does start sanding away to make sure that the compound is flat You would not want to have any bulks or bumps on your exterior Then blow or brush away all the dust

Spray a small amount of primer paint to the scratch and let it dry overnight Then in the morning you can then use a toughups applicator brush to paint the area Let it dry overnight again Come morning your vehicle would be ready to strut its stuff on the roads without any signs that it suffered from a scratch
