In the daily use of our car, there must be lacquer scratches, large and small. Even if you drive carefully, you will rub against walls, trees and other obstacles, as long as you drive a lot. This will leave all kinds of scratches on the car body, and it’s okay to say that these scratches are a little lighter. And those more serious, if the kind of iron exposed, if not dealt with in time, it is easy to rust or bring more serious harm. For these scratches, some car owners will choose to go to the 4S store to repaint, but every time they go to the 4S store to repaint, a small scratch will spray paint the whole surface, which will cost hundreds of yuan, but some car owners will choose to solve it themselves. The most common thing to solve on your own in the car is to “repaint the pen”. What are the advantages of mending paint pens? It is convenient and cheap, and then it can be mended whenever and wherever you see a scratch. You don’t have to make an appointment to go to the 4S store, and you can’t get it on the same day when the 4S store is busy with painting. it needs to be put in the store, which also causes inconvenience to car owners. So it’s better to have a lacquer pen as a precaution. Don’t say you can’t use it, even the pebbles picked up by a big truck on the road will scratch our car paint. For example, this time I accidentally rubbed against someone else’s car when I was parking, so I had no choice but to call the owner to negotiate and spend 200 dollars to talk privately, but when the matter was settled, what about the scratches on my car? it’s not worth repairing it in a 4S store. I still choose to do it myself. I snapped up a lacquer pen in the mall during Singles Day holiday some time ago, this time just to try the effect.
Points for attention in the use of lacquer pens
1. The color selection of lacquer pens is very important, and the color of lacquer pens directly affects the effect after painting.
2. Because the repainting pen is painted with the method of repainting and professional painting process is very different, it will make you feel concave and convex, it’s okay if you don’t look carefully.
3. Do not unscrew the cover when the repaint pen is placed horizontally or upside down, so as not to use the repaint pen for a long time.
4. It is easy to dry and fail, so it should be kept in a cool place.
The following repaint is a personal idea, may be different from everyone’s mode of operation, do not like to spray.

I didn’t see much at first, but this time the paint injury is quite serious. The gratifying thing is that it is mainly concentrated in the front bumper, and the iron part is fine.

There is also a scratch on the headlight of the main driving position, but I haven’t figured out how to deal with it for the time being due to the limited technology.

The tools needed for preparation are mainly car towels, lacquer pens, and since there is no sandpaper, I use scratch wax instead. (blades are also used.

First do the cleaning work, first wipe the foreign body on the car paint with a dishcloth to ensure that the car paint is clean and prevent the car paint repaired by the repaint pen from getting foreign body.

It is best if there is soil mending and sandpaper, which can make the paint surface flat and without dent. Because of the limited conditions, I just apply scratch wax to the scratched position of the car paint to remove slight edges. If there are too many burrs, it is best to cut it off with a blade.

After polishing, touch with your hand to see the situation, if OK, then use a towel to clean the paint.

At this time, I took out my lacquer pen and prepared to apply car paint. Since I used it for the first time, I specially took a look at the instructions.

Before use, shake the lacquer pen up and down and shake it as many times as possible. Because I shake less, the color difference is serious.

This time, I only used the hard part of the lacquer pen. I can’t use the brush. I can’t brush it well all the time. It’s a pity that I can’t use the brush in a large area. Do not smear too much when smearing, or it will flow down because of the gravity of the earth, it can not be covered above, and it is very thick below.

A very arduous project, ah, 1.1 points, after efforts finally OK, look at the effect, you can still see

If you look at it as a whole, the effect is still very good. You can take a look at it. It is not very obvious. We will look at the specific situation first thing in the morning.

The first thing I do when I get up in the morning is to see what I think of last night’s do-it-yourself results. After inspection, it was found that the work done last night was not very good, and there was a bulge in one place, which was more obvious.

Buckle off the protruding place directly in the re-smear, daub relatively shallow place in the second smear.

Even if you don’t look very carefully, you can still see the difference. It goes up and says that after using the lacquer pen, you will polish it with 2000 mesh of sandpaper. I don’t know if it will work.

Wait for it to dry naturally, take a look at the effect temporarily, and then wait until it is dry to see the result.

The first time to use a repaint pen to repaint, used to be outside the shop to adjust the car paint, 10 yuan a small paper cup, at that time is to use a small stick dipped in car paint for point, very troublesome, repaint pen is indeed a better choice, after a look to buy some sandpaper to try to see if it works, can you smooth the protuberance of the paint pen. That depends on whether you work hard or not.

What about the scratches here in the headlights? for the time being, there is no personal way to solve them. The big god of the car friend gives advice, the kind that is not expensive.
