FYI. You don’t want to use that cheap primer. That cheap primer will wear
off much faster then paint and you’ll regret it. It will also pull and
shrink causing it to show a lot more.
You shouldn’t sand with circular movements because circular scrateches are
harder to take of
Rich,
Great video! Will use your instructions touching up a scratch on my truck
some asshole did with their key.
wow great video. I am going to use this. Thanks.
Hi , i have 1 tip also..
After you sanded the new layerd touched up paint , spraypaint it with the
same color and fade it over the original paint , after you did that ,
spraypaint it with brilliant lack and fade it like you did with the
colorpaint .. After that you only have to polish it with your maschine or
by hand , u won’t see a thing 😉 . Good luck ! From Holland
why don’t you wet sand it spot puddy then paint?
This is much better than your first attempt. And you really surprised me
when you busted out the buffer haha.
I watched your first video and thought that didn’t work.
Then I watched your second video and that’s kind of the way I would have
done it so well done and thanks for helping others out there.
Good effort and good attitude !
Thank you very much! Doing something new is always a learning experience.
Your videos explained a lot. Good job!
Buffer on rims
Great job man! Just one thing, I would use a clear coat spary can and to
cover the whole area and then buff and wax it.
what does it look like now, do you need to keep applying the polish every
month or so?
Not a bad job bro. I and scared to put sandpaper of any grit to my paint
I have a very small (2 inch) scratch on a side body panel of my car and
have watched your video about 4 times and will try it out later today and
tomorrow. Like I said, a much smaller repair but I’ll let you know if it
worked. Thanks!
Nice job man
O boy, I have to repair the bumper scratch of my brand new 2014 car. Your
process seems very risky and you seem to be experimenting a lot ….:(
Thank you for the video! I really learned how to fix my own car’s
scratches!
Thanks bro!
Can’t wait to try this on my truck. Great channel. Keep up the good work
I have one question, Right now I have promer.clear coat and waterborne, and
compound , Wax and Grease Remover, and 2000 sand. Right now, I just so
confuse what should I do first, second the third..Would you help me that,
thanks!
Do we really need the buffing machine or could a small scratch (0,2″
diameter) be done by hand? (somehow!)
you need a high speed buffer to make that haze go away.. you can get an
attachment for a drill that will work.
cool thanks
Thanks for the video bro. I have to do this myself and feel a lot more
comfortable about it.
Hi Rich, great video! So awesome to see that we can actually do this
ourselves and save a ton of money. I was wondering where do you get 3000
grit sand paper?
Hi, so just recently some asshole decided to scratch my car with a key and
I was wondering how would I know if I need primer in the scratch
lol next time take it to a pro
Nice job, Rich. Three questions:
1. you mentioned that this is the bumper, which is likely a plastic. use
the same technique on metal?
2. I have a black BMW with many chips on the front. Some of the chips show
an exposed white color while others show an exposed reddish color.. same
technique and products on both?
3. what do you think of using a paint stick rather than a brush.?
Thanks for the video and tips.
Did you get rid of the haziness after your paint job?
Great video I will try this on my 1966 Ford thunderbird and let you know
how I did
To reduce the amount of sanding I think 1 layer of paint to give the colour
then fill with clear. Then sand level. With your method I believe by the
time youv’e sanded the clear flush you’ve removed it.
AW! No fair. You should have shown the final finished area so that the
results help make future decisions. Thank you for sharing
great vid thanks
Hey everyone. I have a 07 Camry with a couple scratches at the very bottom
of car. Could I just go the dealership and buy touch up and will it look
good? Thanks. :)
Were the scratches on a plastic bumper
Hey Rich, that looks good bro! As a professional detailer, can I give you
some helpful tips for the future? First of all, you NEVER wanna sand in a
circular motion! You do more damage that way to your paint. You always sand
from left to right and stay as consistant as possible with light to
moderate pressure. Second, stay away from the paste compounds. What you
should be using for sanding jobs on any vehicle is Meguiars M105 Ultra Cut
Compound. It’s the best liquid compound around for tough jobs. It’ll make
your job a hell of a lot easier. Last, anytime you sand, you don’t want to
be using an orbital polisher cause there’s not enough speed to take the
haziness out completely. You should be using a DA Buffer or rotory high
speed buffer. It takes half of the time instead of workibg 5 times harder
and 20 times longer. Just apply the liquid compound on the yellow pad
(compounding pad)and and smear it on the surface you’re going to be working
on a little bit so it doesn’t splatter when you turn the buffer on, then
you can start buffing the compound into the paint with low RPM’s to start.
After you start seeing the compound starting to haze a little, then you can
crank up the RPM’s a little more. As I noticed, you were polishing in
circles also. That’s how you can put haze marks, also known as holograms
into the paint. You gotta move from right to left bro. Other than that, I
think it looks good man. You sure did put some work into it. Maybe a little
more than it should have been but that’s because you were using an orbital
polisher, not a high speed buffer. Great work man. I hope you can use those
techniques I mentioned to you to cut your time in half and work less? It’s
up to you though. Hope this helped a little. Keep the world clean, one
shine at a time!
