It is necessary
- - sandpaper No. 0;
- - rust converter;
- - anti-corrosion primer;
- - paint in cans or tubes;
- - polish;
- - varnish.
Instructions
Step 1
Painting chips is practically no different from painting the entire body. Unless the areas to be processed and painted will be much smaller. If there are a lot of chips on the body, then it is better to repaint the entire body, and not engage in massive patching.
Step 2
To eliminate chips, first clean all the places of chips with zero sandpaper. Any paint that is cracked should be removed.
Step 3
After all chipped areas have been thoroughly cleaned of old cracked paint, cover them with a rust remover. Read the label carefully and wait for the required time.
Step 4
Wipe all treated areas with a soft cloth and cover with primer.
Step 5
After the primer has completely dried, you can apply the corresponding color of enamel, which can be purchased in cans or in tubes. The color must be selected as accurate as possible. Before applying the enamel to visible areas, try to test the color on inconspicuous areas. The real shade can only be seen after the enamel is dry.
Step 6
After painting over all chips and drying the paint, use a special polish for finishing the chips.
Step 7
If the entire body of your car is varnished, then the painted areas should also be covered with a layer of varnish.
Step 8
If you think that you will not be able to cope with the processing of chips, then it is better to entrust this work to professionals. Moreover, this should be done when the car is very expensive. And inept processing can ruin everything - then you will definitely have to repaint the entire body, which will cost much more than painting only chips.
