What Is Scratch & Chip Repair?
Scratch and chip repair depends on how deep the damage goes. A scratch that only marks the clear coat can be sanded and polished out. A scratch through the color coat needs to be filled, primed, and repainted, then blended so the repair doesn't show. Rock chips on the hood and front bumper get cleaned out, filled, and touched in or refinished depending on how many there are. Key scratches that run the length of a panel usually mean refinishing the whole panel.
