Your quality continues to improve and remains an excellent resource for us DIY guys. Really appreciate the uploads! Edit: I've a question actually - my door recently got ever so slightly dinged. You can barely see the indention around the scratch. I think primer would be enough to level it out, but is there a reason I shouldn't?
Thanks! Primer can crack if it’s built too high. It doesn’t usually have the filling properties to fill in a dent either, the safest route would be using a small amount of 2 part polyester putty first.
Looks great. I was always told you can not blend clear. This is amazing. About to do a similar job on my Mercedes c230 door and fender. I was so lucky to have a deer run into the side of me last night :/
It depends on the clearcoat, some are as early as 20 minutes (rare) and some are as long as 24 hours. You can remove minor defects with 1500, severe ones (runs, etc) you may need to start as coarse as 800.
Where do you get those small cans of 2K clear? If you have an online Link, that would be great. I waste a lot of clear, due to it having shirt life once 2 parts are mixed. 😮
Using your video to learn how to paint a new Harley Davidson inner fairing fender ABS. I noticed you did not etch or otherwise run 400 or 800 grit paper over the abs before you cleaned the plastic and then prime'd the surface. So I'm taking...that sanding or scratching the service is not necessary?
Does starting with a wet clear coat then going with lighter coats help with orange Peel? My mid coat has a tiny orange Peel and was wondering if it's salvageable?
Hi 👋 bro glad to see you again thanks 🙏 for the video awesome 👏 job keep it up well done 👍 and stay safe from the Covid -19 virus all the best peace ✌️ god bless you bro 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💣💣🧨🧨🧨💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
How do you get clear coat overspray that lands on the car off, without Polishing ? And ... did you spray the blending solvent after EACH clear coat layer ... or just at the end ? Thanks
Covering the car in that plastic outdoors on a hot day... Most fun you'll have for years. Actually, why not get a helper to do that "easy job" whilst you sip your tea and observe the intro. 😁😁😁
Can you recommend a wet bed or orientation coat to lay down on the entire panel before applying a metallic basecoat? The wet bed reduces halo and prevents the metal flake from piling up in tiny sand scratches. I was thinking spray the entire panel with SprayMax 1K clear, then reverse blend basecoat (spray larger area, then smaller, then repair area only), let that cure, then 2k clear the entire panel. I'm just not sure if 1K clear is the best rattle can option for an orientation coat.
Hello Sir! I have been watching your videos for some time, great information! Perhaps you can answer a question for me. I am trying to figure out how to touch up some custom stripe work on my car, the base color is red obsession and the stripe is pearl white both are GM colors. I have sanded the damaged area with 600 and the surrounding area with 1500 and further out with 2500 grit. How long should I wait once the base is painted to tape of for the stripes? Please let me know! Thanks!
Good video 👍 I would have back taped the wheel well behind the fender, taken the white blend further back and clear coated the entire fender since the can has a pot life might as well not waste it, and less work. 👌
@@dateatorjr9671 If you've been doing this long enough, then no, it wouldn't ake longer, much more efficient and faster. You would still have to finess and polish the blend and fender to remove overspray anyways, specially on dark colored vehicles that wouldn't fly. I guess for a quick repair diy repair perhaps? Fwiw, if you can control dust, and know how to lay the clear, then you dont need to sand and polish the entire fender.
Thanks for the video, it's often been useful to do spot repairs using this technique and it's worked well for me as home gamer. Loved the check back after 2 years!

@@Refinishnetwork Drat, that's what I was wondering. Thanks again for the input and videos. I recommend you and Gabe all the time.

Best video for aerosol paint repair on UA-cam. Got a subscriber.
Thanks!
When you say sand and polish at the end, how long do you wait before doing this? And what grade sand paper would you recommend? Thanks!

Hello，sir. We are a manufacturer of aerosol spray paint cans. Do you have interests to get to know it?
Amen John 14:12.
Excellent video thank you!! im assuming you put the blend over the clear right away?
Fantastic video as always what more can you ask from this guy thank you very much
First of all we can see the shade second is a fender not a car
I want to try this but I don't have a polishing machine
Love the aerosol repairs
I would have cleared the whole fender

You are a great artist
I like your work i know this how to get job in your company please reaply me
You never mentioned what company of basecoat you use? Which brand of 1k base that is?
Pretty sure he said it, but it's spraymax 2k epoxy primer. It binds to metal. Spraymax has another 2k primer for plastics
Nice job it would've been good to see u polish it
Completely different shade of the original. What a waste for a small scratch.
Australian got to learn this. They are not able to fix panel spot by spot. They only take off panel and respray it and rip you off.
Good video 👍

Driven Image Customs isnt sanding the whole fender and then buffing the whole fender more work?
