8.2.1.7. Elimination of small scratches
If scratch superficial also does not affect metal of the body panel, its repair is made extremely simply. For removal of particles of the lagged behind paint and a wax covering slightly rub the scratched area with thin grinding paste. Wash out the processed surface clear water.
Small brush paint over scratch the paint applied to an external covering of panels of a body. Continue to apply paint a layer behind a layer until the surface it in scratch does not reach the level of a surrounding surface of a paint and varnish covering of the panel. Let's new paint be polymerized within, at least, two weeks, then polish a transitional surface aflush with a surface of a covering of other part of the panel with use of the thinnest grinding paste. Then cover the processed surface with wax.
If scratch got through a paint coat, having reached metal of a body and having caused its corrosion, it is necessary to apply other technology of repair. A penknife scrape out a powdery rust from scratch, then process a surface corrosion inhibitor, in order to avoid development of the centers of corrosion in the future. The rubber or plastic pallet cover the damaged area processed by inhibitor with hard putty. If necessary, and it is especially useful at a shpaklevaniye of narrow scratches, for formation of fine paste hard putty can be diluted with solvent. Before hard putty hardens in scratch, wrap up a finger-tip smooth cotton fabric. Then, having moistened a finger in solvent, quickly carry out by him along the puttied scratch surface. It will make a surface slightly concave. Now, after hard putty hardening, the processed scratch can be painted according to the instructions provided for cases when scratch does not affect metal.
