Is it better to use a touch-up pen or spray it?
1, after scratches, especially scratches as deep as the bottom of the car paint, go to the repair shop as soon as possible to touch up the paint to avoid the body from getting wet and rust;
2. You can usually bring your own touch-up pen of the same color. If the paint falls off inadvertently, you can mend it yourself. Although there is some color difference, it saves a lot of money.
3, scratches can be cleverly covered by sticking some body stickers or decorative cards, saving money and looking good;
4. Now many insurance companies have zero deductible business, so you can consider buying it yourself.
The scratch repair pen has a certain effect. To deal with scratches, we must first look at the depth of these scratches, including micro-scratches, moderate scratches and deep scratches. Metallic paint consists of varnish layer, color paint layer and primer layer from outside to inside. Micro-scratch refers to a slight scratch on the surface paint, which passes through the varnish layer and has hurt the paint layer, but the paint layer has not been scraped through. Some car owners go to a non-professional roadside car wash shop to wash their cars in order to save money, and often scratch the paint surface because of the irregular operation of the car wash machine, resulting in minor scratches. It costs more money to deal with these scratches, which is not worth the candle.
Is it better to go to the 4s shop or go outside to repair the car paint?
Whether to go to a 4s shop or a repair shop for vehicle repair needs comprehensive consideration:
1, touch-up time: the repair shop is superior. If you pay attention to efficiency, or if you are in a hurry to use the car, then the repair shop will obviously have an advantage. If the touch-up area is not large, you can basically get it on the same day. 4S stores generally need to make an appointment, the traffic is relatively large, and the maintenance time is relatively long;
2, touch-up effect: 4S shop is better. If you pay attention to perfection, you should choose 4S shop, because the supporting equipment of 4S shop is more complete and advanced, and it is more professional in paint mixing and color matching;
3, paint repair price: the repair shop wins. Different areas will have different situations, but the touch-up paint in most areas is relatively high in 4S shops.
Can painting be insured?
Paint can be insured. If the repair cost is not high, you can take the scratch insurance. No matter where the scratches are, it is suitable for cars with multiple minor scratches. This 4S shop will let the owner call to escape, that is, the car parked on the side of the road is scratched and has many scratches, and the rest can be handed over to the 4S shop for repair. If the damage is concentrated, the site production is convenient, and the car can be damaged. Remember, it's best to insure against scratches once a year, and keep minor injuries for repair.
If the owner goes out of danger two or three times a year, if there is another accident, if the maintenance amount is less than the premium increased next year, it may be more cost-effective to pay for it.
If the owner only goes out of danger once a year, even if the cost is not high, it is recommended to take out insurance, which will not affect the premium concessions for the following year.
If there are no scratches or collision marks on the car, compensation can be made through scratch insurance. However, if the car paint is scratched due to collision or scraping during driving, it is not covered by scratch insurance.
As the coverage of scratch insurance in payout ratio is generally between 200% and 300%, most insurance companies only cover newly purchased cars or new cars within two or three years. The compensation limit for scratches is generally 2,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan.
