If the paintwork on the car body is damaged to the ground or metal, then there are only two ways to get rid of a deep scratch: repainting or burying. In this article, we will consider the second method in more detail.
It should be noted right away that you should not expect an ideal result in this case, but you can still hide and mask a deep scratch. This information will be especially useful for motorists who do not want to overpay for car service.
For this procedure, you will need a hair dryer (it is better to use not household hair, but construction), masking tape, paint according to the code to match the body shade, cotton buds for cleaning ears (hygienic), soil.
The main stages of work
The first step is to thoroughly degrease the surface (in the place where the scratch itself is located), after which we wipe it dry with a clean rag. Then we heat the area with a hairdryer - no more than 4-5 seconds.
At the next stage, we glue the scratch along the contour with masking tape. It is necessary to glue precisely along the edges of the scratch in order to maximally localize the paint application area. If you have a scratch all the way to the metal, it must be covered with a layer of soil.
We take a can of soil, shake it thoroughly, pick up a small amount into the lid and use a cotton swab to put on the surface of the “bare” metal (scratches). Please note: if the soil is one-component, it is advisable to apply it in several layers. Then you need to dry the scratch with a hairdryer.
At the last stage, mix the paint (it is desirable that it has a thick consistency), well, then we take a cotton swab and carefully bury the place of the defect. Apply the paint in several layers, then dry it with a hairdryer and apply another layer.
