TOUCH UP PAINT - THE KEY TO FIXING ROCK CHIPS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- Hey everyone. In today's video, my friend Judah and I go over two different touch up paints to see just how effective they are. Over the lifetime of your vehicle, wear and tear on your paint is inevitable, and although it's not perfect, touch up paint can be a great way to get rid of those eyesores and hide the blemishes from far away.
I want to thank my friend Judah for being a part of this video and helping make it possible!

For best results...
-Sand the hole, and feather the edges about 1/4" around the area, as well, with 1500.
-Apply paint. Let dry. repeat until the paint is above the surface of the surrounding area.
-Wet sand it flush to the surrounding area with 2500.
-Apply clear.
-Wet sand it flush to the surrounding area with 2500.
-More clear + sand. Repeat 3-4 times.
-Wet sand with 4000.
-Buff (A tool is best, but doing it by hand works, too)
Metal flake / pearl paint will never look the same. It's just not possible.
Yup. You know what your talking about.
How long should I let the paint dry before I wet sand it?
@Deb Harris 1500 grit sand paper
What do you mean will never look the same?
thanks m8
I have used the Motorcraft stuff also with good results. On the paint prep I will use 2500/3000 wet/dry to level out the area so it blends and then clear, after 24 hours or more go back and buff, you will be shocked how good it can look with a little more prep. Your video is great and for the price it does a really good job. Thanks for taking the time to create and post the video!!
Thank you for the advice! I might actually have some 2500/3000 so I will give this a try next time. Thanks for commenting David 👍🏻
Could also use a thin coat of glazing putty on the scratch too to help level.
This is the second video on these pens ive seen of people making videos but doing it wrong. You have to wait for the paint to dry then put the clear coat on.
How long roughly does it take to dry? Assuming the spots are the same size as He’s working on
@@The0n3 not long doesnt have to fully dry. Give it a hour atleast
better yet... mix the clear coat with the paint then apply. That works best!
@@The0n3 Says to wait 30 minutes , I wait an Hour.
@@michaelstevens6002 it does work best if you're using the basic methods such as these guys. There's a few very easy ways to achieve perfect results, I recommend checking out CVR POV and Auto Recon Ronnie youtube channels. You will not be disappointed
Soooo Awesome of you. I love You Tube University. You did Great!!! Mahalo
For people watching I would definitely recommend using a buffer and scratch filler product to definitely smooth it out and make it looks really good
Definitely agree if you have the tools available!
What about if it's just a chip
And let the paint dry before puting the clear coat on
That was probably the first 3 steps out of 6. Someone else here listed out the steps correctly to get a proper smooth and blended finish. This was brutal.
Wet sand to get the rough edges of the chip, touch up, and touch up clear and then re we sand, then buff.
2500 grit? Also, should I use compound or just polish to get rid of haze
This was a great video, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
With all that damage I honestly would've just taken off the paint with a drill and wire brush type attachment and sprayed new primer, factory color, and clear. Then wet sand to blend. I did it to my car last year and you'd never guess the paint was removed. The color was a black metallic so I was thrilled to see it looked great even with metallic.
I really think that you should have went ahead and gotten rid of the parts that are bubbled up to, but thanks for the video. About to order some to fix some rock chips on my Kona Blue 2016 Focus ST
The hood will be fully replaced with an aftermarket one :)
Man I love the vid. Just ordered the Ford Motorcraft pen you used. Thanks
Sherwin Williams is the manufacturer for Fords touch up paint pens
My scratches are not as aggressive... But thank you for the video!! Used it as a visual compliment to the instructions on the box. Also the music was a nice addition.
Thank you! Im glad the video helped you.
I just picked up some Sonic Blue Motorcraft paint for my mustang. I'll let you know how it goes!
How'd it go?
@@mattsommers4111 same
"You can see the difference in the hood but barely barely see it on the door! Nice car, nice color btw...........grabber blue huh? Cool!"
Cool video man, I'm going to touch up my black challenger too, before I get a ceramic coat. Hopefully I do it right. Black is a pain to maintain.
doesnt help flaking paint when you point blank a pressure washer at it..
If you use 3000 and 5000 grit water sandpaper to smooth out it turns out almost perferr
For lighter scratches you can buff in a scratch repair compound, but this works good for the deep ones.
Wow. Haven't seen paint that bad on a newer car before. That's rough.
So its best to go over it 2-3 times 10 minutes apart each? And what is a buff? I see everyone in the comments saying buff it
I'm not going to spill hate or thumbs down this video but you're suppose to build up at least 2 coats of base paint before adding the clearcoat.
Thank you for the input :) I appreciate that. This was not meant to be a pro guide so its good to get feedback.
Speedgeek You’re welcome 👍
And let it dry first
😊
It's one of those things it looks good from afar but far from good
I think the dupli -kit is better than the Dr. somthing or other,,forgot the name. The blue color was an exact match and has the rust inhibitor. I have seen other vlogs using the Dr.?? A pre ruster must be bought separately with the Dr.??? Kit. My fender has that bubbling c300 Benz. Sanding hugh imperfection down to the metal is a scary task for a newbie. Do you have a video on that? How will you match your new hood's paint?
It just pulls off.
You should read the instructions, it say paint one direction not dab it.
How long do you wait until adding the liquid?
Where and what is the pen called again sorry
Check the description 👊🏻
Good job bro I'm doing the same thing like you .God bless
"I got that that Motorcraft paint for my 2013 Ford Focus SE......Sterling Gray.....haven't used it yet. Wish me luck!"
Everything you did is good just need to water sand then compound n wax
How long do u wait to water sand
Easy use and save money
Whats up with the cracking / bubbling on the ford hoods. I have two F150 trucks. A white 2001 and 2014 gray. White is really bad now with big flaking off on hood and roof. can see the metal. The gray 2014 has a nickel size cracking like spot on hood. Does Ford cheap out on the paint process?
Galvanic corrosion. Its an aluminun hood on a steel body.
Good stuff!
Thanks!
You need to sand the area fist. Watch the video from Chris Fix.
Black is definitely harder to fix but nice video as well 🤙
Without a doubt! Thank you for watching!
Painting over oxidized aluminum hood is not a good idea.
My thought exactly it’s just going to bubble up more
Super cook video! For those two blue BB size touch-ups, what was the applicator applied to level our your painting? Time stamp 6:32. Thanks
don't have to sand off the rust first?
Works like a typical paint pen touch up. Horrible.
These things do touch up but results are always less than optimal.
Some asshole hit my car on my door now Im here 😡
same 😭
I've watched lots of these videos getting ready to do my truck. They say do NOT brush it on/in. They say, dab only. Brushing makes a wavy mess.
Will you be doing anything to smoothen out the surface after?
I plan on getting a full paint correction on the car this year!
i have a question after the actually paint do i apply the clear cloth right after??? or do i wait??
You have to wait. Just like and hour. He put it on right after thats not what they tell you to do
Wow... Not that great a result.
Those pressure washers (with not much pressure) do not clean your car... best way is to hand wash with a microfiber sponge.
This Painting Works… you keeping up your Car’ when you use this Paint.. they do have color match.. $25.00+ Tax in My Area..😄
You're probably well aware that the hood chips are from galvanic corrosion and a common manufacturing problem on mustangs. The only way to permanently fix it is to replace the hood.
You are correct.
Really no wonder my mustang has the ugly ass chips on my car so annoying
What year range did Mustangs have paint issues?
@@bhobbs2584 At least 2010 to 2014
5:16 This should have been the point where he shows how he took the 4-tip thing off the paint stick. None of the videos I've seen shows it, how the heck do you take that off?? 4:57 Those 4 tips.
It just slides off. Using one myself this morning. Cheers.
It just pulls off. It's just for packaging to protect the sanding tip.
Looks like painted chips and scratches.
What made you buy that color. I don't think I've seen that color on a mustang. Yuk. But good job.
It's Grabber Blue. Blue is my favorite color and I'm particular to lighter blues like Grabber, Boost, Hyper, etc.
@@speedgeek8423 It's an amazing color, I'm sure it looks even better in real life
@@speedgeek8423 its awesome bro
It’s better then yellow or the boring red Ford places on their cars.
Lol never seen that color on a mustang 😂
looks horrible! Gotta wet sand that down some to be even
That looks terrible.
can’t fix that bubble with touch up
Butcher job. Don't do it this way.
Not impressed.
Ford guys...........smh...........lol
