What are the Different Types of Car Paint Scratches?

Surface Scratches

Surface-level scratches are cosmetic imperfections caused by small objects that affect the car's glossy finish. Professional detailing will help restore your vehicle to its original physique. Some common reasons for surface scratches include: 

• Keys
• Debris
• Bushes 
• Branches
• Small rocks

Clear Coat Scratches

Clear coat scratches occur from everyday wear and tear. They are visible upon inspection and typically look like swirls or white lines. These types of scratches take more effort to repair, so visit a collision center near you for professional car paint repair. 

Deep Scratches

Deep scratches are normally a result of an accident and they reach the base or even metal surface of the vehicle, meaning they surpass the color coat and primer coat. It’s a long process to fix these kinds of scratches, so it’s best to leave it to the professionals. At Gunn Collision, we have the necessary tools to repair deep scratches without harming the surrounding paint. 

Paint Transfer Scratches

When you come in contact with another vehicle, typically in a fender bender or when backing out of a parking space, paint from the other vehicle can scuff onto your vehicle. This could be fixed with specialized detailing equipment and a lot of patience.
