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.

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.
