CanNOT stop watching your videos. You make it look like I could do it myself!
That's the whole concept of this channel mate. DIY'ers having some knowledge and confidence to fix their own cars
Fantastic results that we can all achieve from home thanks to your BRILLIANT IDEAS mate! Love your work!
You're changing the game with these videos 😎🤙🏽. Fantastic..
Awesome repairs. Nice work and thanks for sharing. All the best mate.
No problem thanks for watching
Regular applications of Meguiars Hybrid Ceramic Wax or similar would probably help.
always wondered it this would work but never tried it…. Definitely be trying this at work this coming week. Top vid as always dude
Cheers Ben
This Video is a game changer for Paint Maintenance, Thanks!
I hope so
Hi
Thank you for uploading this video, greatly appreciated!!
Great tips with 'Amazing results' once again👍🏻
No worries mate thanks for watching
@@cvrpov always good content and definitely worth watching.
I love diy and find useful tips from watching your videos.
Thanks for sharing!!👍🏻
Thanks for the tips. I try it on my front bumper of my Chevy Avalanche that is black and it works. Appreciate it
Great stuff
Amazing! That's finger painting taken to the highest level.
Even a child could do it
Your videos are awesome and I can’t stop watching them. We’ve some scratches on our 10 year old fiesta and it makes me want to try it.
Mind if I ask a couple questions?
What ‘base’ coat should I be using? Can I use a spray tin from Halfords that’s the same colour as the car, or do you use a generic colour?
How long between applying the paint and then buffing it?
What budding compound are you using?
Thanks in advance for being awesome and sharing this
Great videos! Do you wipe down the chips and scratches with panel prep or IPA, first to get contaminants out?? Thanks!
Thanks so much for sharing these. I’ve been watching your vids for a while & it will definitely help me tackle my Z4 properly without so much fear !
Glad to help
😊
Love your content. Keep up the great work
will do cheers
Amazing videos- thank you for outlining this process so well. Could you tell me and what’s scenarios you use the 2000 and 3000 grit sandpaper and which ones you skip that step? Also what buffing compound are you using? Thanks so much!
I use rub and buff method on medium scratches and touch in/wet sand on deeper wider marks
I use farecla g360 cutting paste
Thanks for sharing, very generous of you. All the best to you.
Thank you too
Thanks for sharing. Very nice results.
Does this work well with metallic silver gray colors where metal flakes in the paint are very noticable?
Solid colours are best. Metallics do work yes. Silver will always be a tricky colour whatever you do
I have some of my Clearcoat coming of , I bought a spray can paint exact match color and clear coat. Before I start spraying a wet sand should do you think?
@cvr Thanks for your videos! I accidentally sanded a rock chip too much while trying to fix it. Now I have a penny sized hole down to the primer (white), surrounded by a 2 inch base coat area, surrounded by a 5 inch sanded clear-coat area. This is on my bonnet. What is the recommended course of action (can it be done with a touch-up pen of base-coat and another of clear)? Much appreciate your expert opinion.
ultimately needs a respray if the paint has been compromised.
Awesome system! Avail. In USA?
I have my paint color code, but how do I know if my paint is solvent or water base?('08 Accord) Aren't the majority of cars now water based? What happens if I have water base paint & use this?
Also, will this work on a pearl paint ('10 Toyota Prius) that uses a tri-coat system instead of just base/clear?
Great vid, will be trying that one
Thanks for watching buddy
great job. your videos are great. Is that a normal cordless screwdriver or something special
Normal cordless
Wow this is amazing I'll be differently be buying some your products
Nice one trev
Great video!
If we buy a touch up paint, how do we know that the touch up is safe to do your method? I'm concern about the thinner mixture inside the touch up paint. Please advise.
Hi, thank You for the video. I’ve tried Your method. I’ve used the spray paint from can with exact number of color to match with my car’s color.
But I didnt spray it directly on a car, I made few sprays to a cup and then I applied to a car with my finger - as was shown in video.
The paint seemed a bit transparent and too much liquid, so I aplied 2 layers and then waited about ten minutes and then it was literaly IMPOSSIBLE to get the coulour out with the rotary pad 🙈
So how long time is best to wait? 3, 5 minutes? Is the colour cured, when you begin to polish it, or is it still sticky to touch ? Thank You!
Brilliance in action
if i had seen this anywhere else but on your channel i would have thought it was a con!!! excellent mate always love your channel cheers Paul
Glad you enjoyed it
@@cvrpov Could you tell me if I have a BMW original touch up paint 12 ml base coat and 12 ml clear coat do I have to mix toghether? And what polish compound and polish pad do you use?
Hi mate,
Thanks for another impressive video. Does this method only work on solid colours or does that work on metallic colours as well?
Both
Do you mix base coat and clear mixed to do this or you just using base? Thanks..
Amazing results. What should I look for when getting the paint? Should it be a perfect match paint with the paint color code and all or I can use any generic automotive paint with the same color?
And what brand paint do you recommend?
On darker colours a close match is suffice. Any solvent paint though preferably mixed in the colour of ur car using the paint code.
I'm confused? I thought the solvent paint is what was supplied in the kit?
Loving the videos, can i ask how long do you wait from application of paint to polish and buff... ?
A few minutes
what type of paint do you use and how long do you leave it on after application before buffing
Any chance to get this in Australia? Thanks for sharing amazing work
Not at the moment mate but we are working on this
Are compound buffing it? Or just polishing? Nevermind lol. Ty!
what is the sponge u did use on the drill for removing the excess paint? is it having sanding texture?
Hi Great repair, it seems unbelievable. Do you use solid colors ( solvent ) and what compound do you use . Cheers from NZ
Solid work better but can be metallic also. I use farecla or 3m compounds but any good cutting paste will do
@@cvrpov Thanks for your reply...
Absolutely fantastic
Cheers bro 👊🏻
Thanks for the great video. I tried your exact method with drill, Maguiars Ultimate Compound and an orange pad. The excess paint removed fairly well but now have buffer marks. Is that normal and need to go over with a polish and softer pad? Or did I do something wrong at my initial buffing stage?
Many thanks!
Hi. Like any polishing, finish down with a finishing polish and pad.
Thanks. Everything turned out ok after polishing.
Awesome. Do you ship to the US? Which compound do you use to buff the paint off? Thanks
Hi Rodrigo. We are currently looking for suppliers in the US. I use farecla g360 at the moment but any good compound with decent cut will do the job
Fantastic video mate !.
This is a "Number 1 Top Tip" alright !.
Question :- If I used a manufacture supplied "Touch Up" kit, which comprises of a one tube of the body colour and one tube of the top coat lacquer, would using the base coat only work in your fix ?. The base coat will only wash out using gun thinners, so assume from this, that the colour stick is solvent based ?. Am I correct in my theory - Thanks !.
Please keep the excellent content coming.
Love it !.
Some manufacturers supplies touch up sticks are water based nowadays.. so just bear that in mind and check 1st. It would probably be better to order some paint (50ml) from a local paint supplier
Mix some lacquer with the base coat, clean the scratch with panel wipe before rubbing with paint and make sure there is no tar around the area.
@@robbeard6929 whats the ratio? thanks
@@BoStErO1905 I would try 50:50. Just had another thought, I wonder if you could mix the base coat with super glue gel.
HI I HAVE A FORD FOCUS MK3 AND AT THE BOOT NEAR THE REAR BADGE I HAVE PUT A TINY BIT OF PRIMER ON SHALL I USE A MINI SPRAY GUN FOR THE BASE COAT PAINT AND THE CLEAR COAT PAINT
You Sir are simply stunning!🎉
Great video... Question do you let this dry completely or you buff it before it drys out ?
I leave it a couple of mins before polishing
That was awesome dude. Question wish pad did you use? Heavy cut one?
Yes a pad with good cut is best
@@cvrpov awesome thank you so much keep it up doing good videos and advices👍👌👍
Great video.
Just a couple of questions though 🤔
After repairing the stone chips on my bonnet and the gravel rash on my bumper how long do I leave it before applying PPF?? If I got the car re sprayed I’m told it needs to cure for 3 weeks before covering it?
Also will these repairs remain in good order if I do cover them with PPF?
Many thanks
The touch up paints usually cure fairly quickly. A week should be suffice.
That’s brilliant, can’t wait to try. Quick question re: the polishing pad, do you have to wash it afterwards in any special solution to remove elements of the paint ?
Foam pads can be maintained dragging a screwdriver across a DRY pad at high speed. This will remove the abrasives/foreign material in the pad. Careful to angle the bit so it’s not too aggressive OR pointing into the rotation. Haven’t tried on wool or terry cloth, but it works great on foam.
I would probably disguard the pad or use it for this method in future only
Thank you for sharing amazing will it work on matalic paints?
Yes 👍🏻
I have some deep, scratches in the clear-coat from my bumper falling from height of the lift. Sanded it as much as possible and then buffed it but scratches are still deep, they shine but are still deep. Can a lacquer/clear coat touch up pen do the same trick? Apply it exessivly and then buff out?
Yes but be carefull with further sanding and polishing if you have already done this to the area
@@cvrpov and do you polish when it is hardened of when it is still a bit tacky?
Hi ty for the videos. What kind of pad and compound do you use.
Farecla g360 and a 3m cutting pad. Any branded combo would be good
Awesome thanks gonna give it a go
Nice one
Question: if I buy touch up paint and use this method, do I need to apply the clear coat on top of the base color before buffing or only apply the base color and not apply the clear coat at all?
Are you using a Milwaukee m18 hammer drill? I have the large Milwaukee polisher, but I also have a small polisher Griot's g8 polisher. I never thought about using an attachment to hammer or cordless drill.
I have the milwaukee mini polisher which is great. I just use the drill as an example that it can work with a tool that most people now already own
I tried this method but used a 2000 grit first on one of your other videos. Then I got this touch up paint on eBay for BMW. However when I applied it there was a colour difference when it dried. I had to try and remove it again with the 2000 grit and then use the cutting polish after. A little improvement but still could do with another touch up. Where did I go wrong?
There's a similar kit I've used on the front of my last black car. One part was thick black pain, 2nd part was remover. The paint sat in the chips and hid them.
Yes similar
how much you need to wait from when you applied paint to start buffing?
Very simple and effective method. I actually have to do this to my car and was worried about messing up doing it with other complex methods. Thanks!
No problem and good luck with ur project
@@cvrpov How long did you wait for the paint to dry before polishing? After the first polish can you apply clear again and polish?
Would this be a feasible way to also apply more clear coat along the wheel arches? In an attempt to build thickness and minimize future chips that go all the way through to the metal?
Possibly yes
What polish and polishing pad have you used
What grade of cutting compound do you recommend ? Couldn't see any compounds on your site. Thanks !
Something with a decent cut to it
Super tutorial, thank you 🏆🤝
Is what you apply with your finger a car polish ?after what time you polish it ?
It's paint mate. Check out some of my other videos
@@cvrpov How much time must be given between finger paint application and polishing? In other words, is there is set period for the paint?
I note that you use a professional polisher more than the smaller 3 inch that comes in your kit. Does this give similar results? Also you are using polish or rubbing compound with both these buffing tools. Does this come with the kit or do you recommend something?
Thanks
The rub and buff kit comes with its own mini polishing pad and backing plate with a drill spindle. Some clips in the video have my milwaukee polisher being used. Different pad and backing plate set up but the same results.
I remove few scratches on my black car and you really cant see it anymore. Great job. My car is mettalic black and i fix it with normal black and looks great.
amazing ! I have scratches where someone has used a coin on my doors and bonnet, but not deep, I may give this method a try thanks for sharing ! P.S Could I use an aerosol solvent paint by spraying into the paint lid to get enough liquid paint, then use my fingers to rub in ?
Definitely worth a go. However I wouldn't use paint from an aerosol it will be too thin
This would be a godsend for mobile detailers
This is the.k video that made me subscribe to your channel! Brilliant!
Thanks for the sub
Another question mate.....using your solvent toners, do you thin the paint down or not before you apply it.... ? Cheers
Thinning it down looses it's filling effectiveness I find
Quick question bud. Ive heard you say not to use DA's for this type of repair..( i think it was on the BMW with poor audio)
and to use a rotary.. I understand this if you mean rotary is more aggressive for cutting, but is this the only reason and could we get away with it using a DA. I normally do PDR so am not confident with rotary.
I’d love to buy this and probably will but need a couple of questions. The car is an Audi Exclusive meaning it’s paint is a one off colour chosen by the first owner. I don’t know if the paint code even exists. Is there a way to match colour without the code? Also didn’t really understand the products. Are you applying the touch up paint by fingers then using compound or is it wax?
Hi mate. Google and Ring Derby VW TPS and chose option 2 on the phone. Give them your car reg and they should be able to provide you with a paint code. If they can't then it might be a bit tricky. Martin
It's about time back on the Tools great.👍
Told u I'd be back
@@cvrpov Indeed and keep them coming my friend.
This looks awesome, thanks for sharing, but what about two-stage metallics? what is the upper size limit in terms of chip damage? No clear coat used??
2 stage metallics are very difficult to get good results doing any kind of touch up work to be honest. Some better than others. Often I just use the ground coat
@cvrpov By two stage do you mean any car with a metallic base and clear? Thats what i have, light colour too on my 97 lexus. Trying to find a work around bc the last owner "touched" in about a dozen chips and a deep key scratch and they've all come out a darker shade AND theyre not flush at all just painted chips. Maybe a rush job and not a proper paint match. Might try adding hardener letting it sit in the lid for a few mins and trying the card swipe method as well as the crown and wet sand method. One chip at a time and see what works...
@@pixelbath2131 Thanks, that sounds like it might work. My plan is to simply carefully place a layer or two of (metallic) color paint into the chip "hole", then fill with clear and sand down with 1000 then 2000, then polish. these chips are about 2 - 5 mm diameter
What about a half inch scratch thats gotten down to bare metal should primer be used to fill that first before moving on to paint?
You could use primer but maybe try and build up the area with paint layers like i do in another video
Hi The Paintgear kit however has our premixed lacquer agent in the paint, So are you saying that there is a clear mixed in with the solvent paint...OR not.. Cheers. Regards
The method works with just solvent base on its own. In the paintgear kit I add an additive which is similar to lacquer but not actually lacquer as I personally think it adds 20% effectiveness to the process. Half the jobs in the video were with and f without.
@@cvrpov Hi Again...I add an additive which is similar to lacquer . What is the additive you use hopefully i can buy it here. Cheers
Ciao, scusa, ma usi la stessa pittura dell'auto o è una pittura fatta al momento per questo intervento? Grazie, sei bravissimo e saluti dall'Italia 😊
Hello. The paint is mixed and matched to the car or try as close colour as possible
Need more info on what polish was used and what type of buffing wheel?
Is this work on a metallic paint. Did you use just basecoat color or hardener and clearcoat too. Thanks.
Yes it works on metallics. It's just base in the video
hello, is it touch up paint to cover the scratch? then polish with compound?
Yes it is
brilliant. need to find out where to get this kind of paint in germany ;)
We have shipped some to Europe. Send us an email on info@paintgear.co.uk
How long do you let the paint dry for? I'd imagine if its left too long it'll be almost impossible to get it off with just a polishing machine. So i'm guessing there's window of opportunity in terms of... when to buff?
I've found good results after 10-20 minutes with some mild level scratches and hitting it with a heat gun for about 60 seconds
Deeper scratches I fill with paint in JUST the scratch first, then I glass off excess so it's flush with the original paint, then polish
A couple of mins is usually suffice.
Outstanding !
Cheers buddy
Where can we get this in the US? Also are you selling this for the wholesale, business to dealership market?
We are currently looking for a supplier opportunity for someone I the US
What do you do when you have a bumper that’s been scuffed (chipped into?)
Thanks for the info. I followed the link to purchase the kit but shipping is only in UK. Where can I find the website to delivery overseas?
We are not shipping outside of the UK at moment
great job.do you allow the paint to dry before buffing the area or you buff off immediately
A couple of mins
Hopefully, they can ship it to U.S. soon! I'll be ready to buy!
Stay tuned
Any tips on repairing diamond cut alloy wheels?
Unfortunately I've curbed 2 on my car and as they have been repaired twice before, unable to have them done again...
Done loads of vids on this Mo. Check out my wheel repair playlist
@@cvrpov Hey buddy, bless and thank you for your videos, I've just been watching them...👍🏻
just wondering is the tailored touch up paint from amazon any good mate
Never used it personally. Make sure it's solvent based
Do you have a detailers kit with a full range of colours etc? And do you have anyone selling in Australia?
We are looking into both these things
hello i'm a french's fan of your vids, and i don't understand "unthinned"?? could you explain me please? good vids bro
Bigger rock chips on a metallic car, will this work you think? I think the color difference might be just a little too big when theres no clear coat.
But maybe if I mix clear coat, thinner and harender and rub it on and buff off. Have you tried this?
Nvm saw now, unsolved base coats without thinner but i guess ill try it
I have done some on metallic cars. Check my other videos
I have a multitude of chips on the hood and front bumper of my car, a 2020 MX-5 in soul red crystal. Would this method work with that color and multi stage paint?
Multi stage paint is almost impossible to get right unless the basecoat is very close match to the overall colour. Ie not much pearl top coat
Hi
Very good job thank you but you dont degress the piece before working?thanks
I dont usually no. It wouldn't be a bad idea tho
@@cvrpov you dont send your product in France?
When you are filling in the scratches with your finger with paint and are about to buff are you using rubbing compound or polishing compound???
Polishing compound
Magic!. What about the solvent NOT being covered by clear? wouldn't the solvent (scratch) go matt and the surrounds remain glossy over time?
It seems to hold up pretty good from my experience
hello, do you also send this great stuff to germany ? unfortunately my old ford focus from 1999 has a lot of scratches. greetings
Not yet but we are working on it
May have been asked already but there are too many comments to scroll through… Can this be done with touch up paint that is supplied by the manufacturer? Like the ones in the tubes with base and clear coat on each end?
how long do you leave the paint to dry before buffing with the cutting compound????
About 3 mins or so
thanks bro love ur work!!! @@cvrpov
Wow, that worked great! I notice the website says you only ship within the UK. Any plans to expand into the US?
Yes we have plans but are uk only at the moment. We are looking for a US supplier
@@cvrpov Have you tried contacting Scott at Dallas Paint correction? He has a channel on YT and also runs a detailing supplies business: ua-cam.com/channels/VlOAVbs8QbHMmKdVWTleaQ.html
Any movement on this since your reply? Can't find anything similar over here in the US@@cvrpov
Thank you great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
You advise to use this method with farecla g360, i did this on a test panel and on a car that was solid colour with a rotary buffer, didnt work both times. Can you tell me what you may think that i am doing wrong?
Thanks
Also bought the solvent paint from paint gear
Hi. No I can't. I use this method every day. 8 or 9 times out of 10 there is improvement on the scratch. It's not perfect or 100% success rate. Obviously a respray is needed to ultimately fix the issue completely. The product from Paintgear Is to try and help people maybe avoid having the car painted.
Hello. Will the cutting compound remove excess paint when dry?
Hi Roy. Yes it will. Also, thinners and acetone will remove any applied paint.
What compound use for scratches?
