How to Repair Stone Chips a yours CAR HOOD/ Touch UP!!!

[@xDMG15x]

This is easily the best stone chip repair video on youtube. Nice work.

[@MrAlternation]

nah

[@Lmarcanov1978]

I've been watching chip repairs videos the whole day, trying to understand and compare techniques......everyone, absolutely everyone else uses sanding with 1500, 3000, 5000 grit so seeing how this guy repaired all those without doing any prep just getting to business makes him really the winner of simplicity!! I just ordered all kind of items at amazon to tackle some bumper repairs but now I'm having 2nd thoughts!!

[@jaimedpcaus1]

Thanks. Showing the filling tool was key in this video for me. Awesome work. 😊

[@alvoryx]

exactly that file tool is the key and what I was searching for years. without this tool it is almost impossible to reach the same result. i already did that in the past with like 5000grid sand paper but it is not working, you uselessly remove clearcoat in the surroundings of the spot....whereas with this metal tool and with the correct technique of holding it on properly on the surface of the car, and work it on the paint chip very gently, i can see this work to actually be in my reach. 1 point I wonder however is why car manufacturers are selling color and clearcoat in 2 different bottles. I mean they sell this for end customers right ? not for car body professionals... how is the average car guy actually supposed to do this kind of work properly at home with tthis little paint brushes, like if you are..painting something. its almost certain that this will end up in a mess. its like asking for trouble lol I bought a lot of this "touch up kits" but never went to the clear coat step... always felt like this second step would do more mess than anything else...

Hvala još jednom za priču od Mirka turpijici, stigla nedavno I radio sam s njim na raznim bojama i stvarno je must have alat kako za lakirera tako i za detailera. Doduše, ovo što miješas bazu sa lakom i hardnerom ti je suvišno malo, dosta ti je samo stavit hardener u bazu

Hvala ti a nije vjeruj probao sam ok bude ali postoji mogucnost prilikom brusenja da se "iscupa" boja iz parnice. Sad sam uzeo UV lak i UV lampu susenje od 3 do 5 min i bice video uskoro i o tome. Dosta brze,bolje i efikasnije se radi

You can come to England and repair mine. Just took it to a paint chip place and they said they would have to take the whole hood off and repaint it. The damage is no worse than the ones in this video

Amazing job !! I appreciate your thorough explanation on how to repair stone chips! I look forward to repairing the chips on my SUV, thanks to your video!

[@YamaBlue705]

Out of general curiosity. Did you end up doing your stone chips? And if you had to do them again tomorrow. Would you still be excited? Heh. I remember first time I did it, I was pumped. 6 hours later I was no longer excited to do rock chips lol. Ever. 😂

[@mrBDeye]

Amazing paint chip repair. Thanks for sharing your experience and expertise.

[@johanw014]

Hi, I used about same method in the past filling paint than a bit clear coat on top than wet sanding and than polishing and the bonnet looks like new painted so I know this method works!!! your method is less heavy on the paint, but you don't use clearcoat but hardener, can I also just make the mix of basecoat and clearcoat? or should it really be acrylic and harder? the degree of gloss then very much depends on the mix. I have already watched many other scratch repairs and videos from your channel but could not find the answer here.

[@bitterNDsweet]

When I ask for 2-component paint "for stone chips", my carpaint shop always mixes some lacquer to the base paint. So I get one can of paint (with lacquer) and another of hardener. Unofortunately I don't know the paint-lacquer ratio. 2:1 or 3:1 perhaps.

I’ve ordered one of those mini files. Expensive for what it is, but it looks like it does the job you need it to very well. I have a silver car with many stone chips on the bonnet, so hoping the chip repair will improve matters enormously! Thanks for the great advice!

[@Amddetailing]

silver color is difficult to do, darkens when filling

[@vitalybrateev5548]

@@Amddetailing still nicer than the rockchips itself

[@roninmantis7584]

@@Amddetailing I can vouch for the silver darkening when filling. So glad for your comments, as I thought I was doing something wrong.

[@DilavarHuseynzade]

I also have a silver car and I can confirm that this method does not work for silver color. In general this method is applicable to colors that are not metallic, and that does not have sparkly particles in them. Normal "simple" colors such as red, black, white (especially) are the best colors to apply this method. If you do not have much marks it is better to use just dr.colorchip and be fine with the result. If it is much just save up your money and pain the whole hood instead of spending 40 eur for this scraper, then anther 20 eur for touch up paint and other details. I did same mistake and ended up painting the whole hood. If I had my knowledge right now I wouldnt even try to do this method and keep my money. In general video is very helpful and well made tho.

Thanks for this video. The tool works great on your car! I bought one today but I found that the edges of it keep scratching my paintwork even when holding it really lightly, do you have any tips to avoid this? Thanks!

[@amritbanerjee]

A hard sanding block with a 2000 or 3000 grit would give you the least damage to you paintwork, if you have already messed it up just polish it with some cutting compund with some elbow grease it should be there

[@aqilrafi]

@@amritbanerjee thanks, that is what I ended up doing, the scratches are much lighter but still slightly visible. I might wet sand it when I have time but just a bit hesitant about going completely through the clear

[@fatih8454]

Top work and keep it up. I have a question. If I order black metallic paint with pearl effect, the clear hardener is included separately and not incorporated into the paint. Could it also work as below or is the loose blank separately a problem for sanding. 1. fill stone chips with black paint 2. White hardener on black paint 3. Allow to dry for 24 hours 4. sand with mirca

[@scottmoreau3478]

Is this something most repair shops can do? I keep reading about how difficult it is and how it will never look right, but I find it hard to believe that a competent auto body shop can't fix a small chip. My car just had a rock hit the door and I want it fixed as it's only six months old. Honestly, even if it's 90-95% better I would be happy. I just know from experience that touch up pens are terrible and it's difficult to make them uniform and flat.

I just buy one of those Dealership or autoparts store touch up paint pens. And call it alot of sanding polishing. Im not so good with sanding. Specially on Thin Acura paint.

[@scottdowney4318]

I was doing this idea using Duplicolor lacquer base coat sprayed into a pill bottle. IT has an issue with being polished as it has no clear coat. Can I mix some Duplicolor clear into the base coat and fill the paint chip? Also had issues with 'greasy' holes filled with ceramic and waxes getting them clean to hold paint. I found using Dremel and a ball diamond point run that in the hole to grind away the contamination a little allows the paint to stick.
