Assessing the Scratch
Start by checking if the scratch is only on the clearcoat or goes deeper into the paint. This helps you decide if you need a Tesla paint repair kit or professional help.
Understanding Light Scratches
Light scratches on your Tesla touch the clearcoat but don’t reach the aluminum surface. These minor marks often come from small paint chips or daily wear. They keep your car looking worn but don’t cause serious damage.
Using a Tesla paint repair kit with a perfect color match for all Tesla models, including Model 3, Y, S, and X, can fix these scratches. The kit includes a blending solution and is designed for exterior use on aluminum.
Apply the solid black (PBSB) mineral paint to restore your car’s finish and keep it rust resistant.
Evaluating Damage Severity
Inspect the scratch to see if it reaches the metal surface. Shine a flashlight at different angles to reveal depth. Measure the scratch’s length and width for precision. Identify the correct paint code to ensure an exact color match.
Look for any rust, benefiting from the paint’s rust-resistant feature. Utilize tools like ppfs for accurate assessment. Keep your garage organized for this task.
Proper evaluation ensures a flawless finish.
Proceed to preparing the surface for painting.
Preparing the Surface
Start by cleaning the area with a damp cloth and mild soap. Then, apply masking tape and lightly sand the surface—this ensures the paint sticks smoothly.
Cleaning the Area
Capture the scratch with your iOS device to evaluate the damage. Wash the area using warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly to remove all dirt. Dry the surface with a clean microfiber cloth.
Ensure no grease or debris remains. A spotless aluminum surface allows EVOOOR_TUPB paint to stick properly.
