I remember back in the 60's 70's and on up into the 80's GM and other car manufacturers use to include a touch up kit' a small bottle of touch up paint about the size of a finger nail polish bottle. They put it in the glove box of all new cars.
You can take a touch up kit and make it look so good!! You are a true Auto Body Repair Professional. I liked this video I was skeptical about a store bought touch up kit, but you made it look so good.
That looks excellent. I'd imagine there's a fair bit of drying time in between steps. My daily is a black Jetta. I've been using black nail polish to touch it up whenever the chips start to amass. I keep telling myself I'm gonna paint it one of these days but you know how that goes. Have a great weekend!
I did let it dry between coats. The products from touchupdirect.com dry fairly fast though so... About 1/2 hour for each step - thanks for watching Bruce :)
You could sand if you feel you need to but you're right, I just buffed by hand after it dried. It won't be perfect but a lot better than a chip. Thanks for watching and the support Ken :)
Thanks for these videos. Very insightful. I was wondering how much equipment you need for basic welding and roughly how much it costs to get started. It seems inevitable I will have to deal with rust issues eventually - I don’t really want to buy a car made much after 2010. Love my old low tech Euro 3/4 diesels too much :P Sadly it looks like I will have to park with my first car within the next 6 months or so.. killed by rust that previous owners failed to deal with. Anyway I badly want another Vauxhall Corsa D/MK3 but they have a tendency to rust along the quarter panel and sills. Other than that they are absolutely cracking cars that grip like limpets. So I’m wondering if there’s any hope for being able to keep on top of things in the future, otherwise I’ll probably be a regular at the body shops. I really don’t want to have to buy a modern car with all the unnecessary tech and computers that fail and track everything you do. Any information would be greatly appreciated
You really don't need a lot of tools to get started. I'll make a video on a "Bucket of Tools" needed to do body work. You can also use a cheap flux core welder from Amazon or Harbor Freight. See this video - ua-cam.com/video/H87b1xlGofw/v-deo.html
@@LakesideAutobody thank you so much. It’s something I really want to learn in the future. Body work, turbos and stuff as well. Just a petrol head who loves to keep stuff pristine 😅 It’s really cool to watch as well. Proper art 👍

Looks way better than it did before. I'll have to try that on my 1990 Olds 98. I wonder how well it would work with blue.
Better than chips :) Thanks for watching - enjoy the weekend.
Big Jerry is the man
Thanks Jaime - appreciate the support. Thanks for watching :)
Excellent. You didn’t go back and sand after the final clear? Just used the compound?
You could sand if you feel you need to but you're right, I just buffed by hand after it dried. It won't be perfect but a lot better than a chip. Thanks for watching and the support Ken :)
Impressive. I'm about to order a kit to try on some small chips. Thanks for the workshop.
You're welcome SR - enjoy the week my friend :)
Great....Thanks!

The palm slapping was a great touch. 😂

Such precise work! Excellent video. How long did you let the primer and paint dry?
It dried fast so about 1/2 hour for each - thanks for the support ✌

Color match?
This company has the paint that will match your car - just have to have the paint code for your car.
Excellent
Thanks :)
Nice work, but kit seems pricey
You're right but so is the number 1 a McDonalds. Over $30 for three people to eat there now!!
