Have you ever observed a chip or a crack on the windshield or body of your Maserati? One may not think much of it, but even the tiniest of cracks and chips should not be ignored because they can worsen over time. When there is a crack, it can spoil the look of your car or even lead to more serious issues like compromising your car’s safety. Let’s discuss how you can deal with chip and crack problems on your Maserati car to ensure that your car is well-maintained and in good condition.
Maserati chips and cracks can be found on the body, windshield, and even inside the car. The body can be chipped from road debris or in minor accidents, and the windshield can be damaged from impacts with small stones or other objects. Interior cracks may develop over time or as a result of aging or fluctuating temperatures in the dashboard or on other interior materials. However, for this blog, we will only be discussing chips and cracks on the windshield and body since they are the ones that are most visible and can impact the look and safety of your car.
Chips and cracks on the windshield need to be repaired as soon as possible to prevent it from worsening. The first thing that has to be done is to find out the size and the position of the chip or the crack. Minor chipping less than a quarter in size and minor cracks that are less than three inches can be repaired easily. In the case of small chips, you can consider purchasing a windshield repair kit from a local store. These kits normally consist of the resin and equipment used to inject the same into the chip. Read the guidelines to avoid making mistakes while repairing your car.
If your Maserati happens to have a big crack or you are just not confident about using the do-it-yourself approach, then it is better to let a professional do the job. However, if the crack is very obvious, it is better to replace the whole windshield than to try to fix it. A replacement is important for safety because a compromised windshield can be dangerous.
The flawless bodywork of your Maserati prevents rust and retains its appearance in the event you decide to sell it. Chipped or cracked areas must be washed using soap and water to eliminate the dirt and debris on the affected area. Dry it thoroughly. Then, you should use fine-grit sandpaper to sand the edges of the chip carefully. This is because it helps the paint stick well to the intended surface. If the chip is deep and it gets to the metal, lightly paint it with an automotive primer. Let it dry completely. It is recommended to use the touch-up paint that is of the same color as your Maserati for best results. The trick is to use it in thin layers, always waiting for the first layer to dry before applying the next. After the paint dries, apply a clear coat to help safeguard the repair work done.
Even though the repair steps sound very easy, it is better to allow a Maserati expert to do the job. Attempting a DIY fix with a luxury car like Maserati is a bad idea!
