Nissan develops self-repairing paint
Nissan Motor unveiled Friday a new clearcoat paint that repairs small scratches on car surfaces.
Nissans 窶彜cratch Guard Coat窶? is based on an elastic resin that not only protects the paint under the clearcoat, but
also slowly repairs scratches in the clear surface - gradually returning to its original unscratched state in anywhere
from a day to a week, depending on temperature and the depth of the scratch. (Before and after pics at right.)
The primary purpose of Scratch Guard is resisting fine scratches from
automated car wash machines. Nissan says its scratch resistant properties are good for about 3 years.
