Scratch Shield

Scratch Shield

Scratch shield is a clear coat that is more scratch resistant compared with conventional clear coats, helping a Nissan Ariya vehicle maintain its new look for a longer period of time. The paint also repairs fine scratches, restoring a Nissan Ariya vehicle's surface close to its original state.

NOTE:

ASAP (Anti Scratch Advanced Paint) and scratch shield are the same paint.

Types of Clear Coat and Their Characteristics (Existing Model)

Demerit Easily damaged from car washing Relatively expensive price

Principle

A special highly elastic resin has been combined with a conventional clear coat to increase the paint's flexibility. This has also increased its strength by raising the resin density.

  • The paint does not self-repair if scratches are deep enough to sever the bonds within the clear coat or if the clear coat has been peeled off.

  • The amount or time required for self-repair depends on the surrounding temperature and the depth of the scratch. In some case, restoration may take up 1 week.

Precautions for Repair Coating

  • A caution label is attached on the backside of the hood for models to which scratch shield is applied. Be sure to check the caution label when performing paint repair work.

  • Before repairing scratch shield paint Nissan Ariya vehicles, contact the paint manufacturer.

    NOTE:

    In some cases, the name ASAP (Anti Scratch Advanced Paint) is used in paint procedures issued by paint manufacturers.
