Paintwork scratches in beloved classic cars, perhaps even in original paint? A horrible thought in deed. It's a cruel world and it does happen! I damaged my 87 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 and so did my customer his Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider (101). Smart paint repair and a blend paint job can be the remedy. It avoids having to throw another layer of paint on the car and helps to keep as much of it as possible original.

It's almost like an impulse reflex: Greasy Fingers uploads a new video, and I click on it :) By the way, love a classic Giulietta Spider... I drove one in the summer of 2020, albeit briefly. But since then I've been itching to drive one again because I could sense that the example I drove wasn't properly sorted out.

​@Fingers Thanks. Grand Prix White. The body had a lot of nicks to the galvanized metal I've been touching up and a few other light rust spots and your videos were very helpful. The roof paint is thin so overall the paint condition is not perfect but It's serviceable. As we know this era was single stage on all the solid colors and I'm sure it's seen many cut and polishes over the years. You know its also a bit funny. I'm 58 and grew up loving these cars through the 80's and the in your face whale tale was what I loved. It looks like my 82 911 SC was ordered with the front and rear spoiler option though I cannot tell the whale tail from the tea tray. Now that I'm older, I'm really liking the lines of the non rear spoiler back and soon after I bought the car this December, I found a good used plain rear used 911 SC deck lid in the same grand prix white for sale and bought it. I'm a bit of a stickler for originality but have been thinking of putting it on as soon as the weather warms a bit. I can of course always swap it back. I was a long time 928 owner and still own my 1979 which has the manual and limited slip which is a bit rare in the states. Around 2014 I got hooked on the air cooled 911.

Ein guter weg für einen glatten übergang ist: keine kante zu kleben( alles offen lassen, dass der klarlacknebel nirgendwo hängen bleibt. Während der klarlack noch nicht abgelüftet ist ,,Standox smartblend" spray auf den übergang sprühen. Dieser glättet den nebel und sorgt für eine durchgehend glänzende fläche. Falls doch noch staubeinschlüsse vorhanden sind einfach schleifen und polieren.

@@adamt3332 Thanks! I use a Fuji X-T4. With 4K 16:9 it offers 30 and 60 fps and I guess the bloody lamp fires with 60, so it’s either the resonance frequency or half of it.

Fantastic job! Really like your videos! Do you think it would be feasible as well with silver metallic paint? Cheers, Peter

Thanks, Peter. It basically works the same way with metallic paint, but it’s even more complex. A soft transition with the airbrush is required …

Tolles Video, 👍 bei meinem G-Modell hat die Türkante eine Delle von bis 3mm auf einer Länge von ca. 40mm. Wagen ist mal mit leicht offener Türe zurückgerollt.🫣…nur leicht, aber Zack, da war war es passiert. Ich möchte jetzt nicht die ganze Türe lackieren sondern nur die Schadstelle . Wie würdest Du zunächst den sauberen Kantenverlauf wieder herstellen…Flüssigmetall, Zinn? Grüße Andreas

Servus Andreas. Ich würde Teroson Zinnersatz verwenden, eine Art 2K-Flüssigmetall.

It’s more that the filler will absorb water from behind , not from the painted side. Fibreglass filler is much better, with a skim of polyester on top.

@@GreasyFingers if there is no weld or rust then polyester is fine. If there are tiny holes from rust repairs or welds then eventually water will get into the polyester and blow the repair out….that’s what I was trying to explain 👍🏻

@@GreasyFingers Even so, paint itself has micro pores, if you leave the car wet for prolonged periods or use a car cover ….then you will get issues on areas that have polyester filler ……with or without holes from behind.

Do you thin down the last coat of clear when you do spot repairs like that?

@GreasyFingers Жыл бұрын
No, I don’t. What I do on horizontal plane paint jobs is using transition spray, which is capable of resolving the underlaying paint and “melts” it together with the fresh one. It tends to create rund though when used on a vertical plane.

Glad to see another vid! Was wondering what you were up to after watching a retro video of numerous Alfa's and Porsche's (amongst others) being abused on the Nurburgring. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnKsqZethKuhh80 Also impressed by your evolution in video quality. The side scrolling intro shots were well done and i don't remember you using that technique before. And yes, i do hope you get insanely rich for your efforts.😀 But one question, was i seeing an example of product placement with the 'Classic Line' mug or was that just a happenstance. Cheers from Eastern Canada!

Thank you, Brad. The side scrolling effects I’ve tried for the first time in deed. I started with the camera on top of the workshop trolley, but in the meantime bought a little camera wagon. Filming the mug, believe it or not, was a coincidence. During editing I thought: why not doing my sponsor a favour and I let it in.
