How to Fix Paint Chips on Your Car with PRO Results | Permanent Repair!

[@ShellShock794]

I just bought a one year old truck with 21,000 miles. Normally I'm super detail oriented and extremely particular about things like this but I let my guard down because it was so new. Apparently the previous owner got stuck or something because there are hundreds of rock scuffs/chips going up the entire height of the driver side door. It's white and not many of them are down to the metal which is why I didn't notice but my heart sank when I saw them a week later. This video is a life saver. I asked a local body shop what I could do and the guy basically told me I was screwed and nothing could be done short of redoing the whole door. I'm glad my BS meter went off and I found this

[@kurtcoe2502]

So if you want a micro sander just use a paper hole punch on the sandpaper and superglue the punch out on to the pencil 😊

[@vadimsedletsky9251]

What is the other solution used at 10:25? to remove excessive paint ?

[@knight3756]

SealAct

[@vadimsedletsky9251]

@@knight3756 already found it! Thank you!!!

[@drewborgholthaus2010]

Did you not have to lightly sand the previous paint coat before applying a second coat? And do you think you could build up the paint more than you did to prevent the chip from showing a divot once finished?

[@hubristicmystic]

I think some filler to level it out first.

[@bogieman101]

Anthony, I know this is a two year old post, but I just checked it out. I just purchased a Mopar factory touchup paint pen/brush/clearcoat combo pen. I have never gotten good smooth results and just took a minute to make something that actually works really well. I had some extra vinyl shade slats but any vinyl/plastic that you have and cut into a narrow stick (think pop sickle stick but cut the end to the width you need. Then at the very end kind of bend or curl it up slightly, the rounded end keeps you from digging into the paint I then had some 3m two sided emblem tape but any two sided tape should work, and applied it to the end. Cut the tape and 2000 and finished with 3000 grit paper slits the width of the defect. It made the perfect tool to evenly and flatly smooth the uneven touchup paint I applied to make it match the factory paint. The little strips of sand paper peal right off the tape to change with fresh paper. I made two pretty good size rock chips look great. The emblem tape has a touch of foam which held the tape just a touch off the stick and that was perfect. I know everyone won't have all this stuff laying around, but main point is don't just attack the chip, with a little thinking and looking around the house you can make something what will give you great results. I took a pic of what I was talking about, but I guess you can't post them on the comments, or I am to stupid to figure it out. Thanks for the video.

Krud kutter rust remover gel works great to help prepare and treat the exposed metal. Mask the area well and touch each spot with the end of a skewer dipped in the gel. It will dull clearcoat so be carfeful. Spots treated this way are more likely to remain rust free for longer. It also works on the staining caused by rust. Use the gel but dont leave it on long. Vasaline seemed to work well to protect the area around the chip to avoid any damage to the clearcoat around it.

[@nipperdog7777]

I have done this a 1000 times. An old friend of mine showed me Loctite Extend Rust Neutralizer. When you get it sanded it can still have microscopic rust. Rust Neutralizer changes rust chemically. It will end up clear. I would suggest using it right before you prime.

[@amberatkinson4230]

This video gave me the confidence to finally buy a dr color chip kit and try to fill in the mini rock chips on my daily driver. Thank you for this!

[@BJonesOkie]

Do it!!!!

[@karmasutra4774]

I am watching this to do the same. My tc is starting to look rough.. so need to try to fix little chips and things

[@기스아포티지-p4r]

Fr I have ocd characteristics and I’m def doing this in the future

[@lilgohsty658]

Dr. Chip is the best product in the market right now highly recommended

[@bear4locos]

Thank you so much. This really helps. I have a white 4 runner. I’m complete ocd and I need to fix it. It’s killing me.

[@tonyrodriguez4686]

"Grab a friend and play find the chip" LOL, Love your content Anthony !

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Haha thanks man!

[@robertthrailkill1368]

Nice video. I have used Dr Color Chip before and it is a very good product

[@kenmitchell3355]

I will be buying DR. Colorchip now. Nice presentation.

[@sophiatiang-leung1294]

just wondering after the rock chips are filled in would you recommend getting a ppf on it? also what’s a good sealant to put on ?

[@DizConnected]

Love your demonstration of this touch up paint kit.

[@spinster4000]

A good idea for this is to wet sand the area after each coat of paint, but nothing more than 2000 maybe 3000 grit, you don’t wanna scuff the paint surrounding it. Then you can buff it/polish it and it’ll be smooth and look identical to the other areas. Only really works on big scratches, this method works for small ones

[@Artbooksandboro]

I haven't ever done this before thats why im watching the videos as im planning on repairing some chips on my car. But would it work better if the paint was built up slightly over the chip then sanded(with high grit wet and dry sandpaper) back down level with the paintwork then polished with something like T-Cut?

[@carlosnunez3743]

You’re my favorite channel! I had bought a white 96 ex a week after you posted yours!

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Thanks man! Congrats on the new whip!

[@sparkeyjones6261]

I don't know if I'd consider that anywhere close to "pro results". Wouldn't wet sanding and polishing work a whole lot better than whatever that solution you put on there was?

[@Slider617]

Not when it's down past the clear and into the metal.

[@maryrobinson7590]

OMG this was so helpful. Thank you & have a safe and happy holiday.

[@afshandc]

Hey! I’ve got a ceramic coating treatment on mine. Will it be the same process?

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Yes as long as the coating isn’t over the chip to be filled

[@etakishinji7266]

Waited for your new video upload. Now I am satisfied 😂

[@deepinspired]

Great video, what kind of sand paper should I use? Do you have a name of one?

[@sabio2009]

Any brand will do. He used 1,500 grit.

[@musictherapy141]

Does kit give clear coat too?

[@tedjohnson64]

Great tutorial! I’m surprised you didn’t need to wait longer between coats.

[@fhowland]

Is this a better system than buying the oem Honda touch up paint?

[@landonmillett4717]

Lol I had to rewind a lil bit at the beginning you said”shit” so nonchalant 😂😂

[@GigiWright]

Thank you I just purchases a Mini 2014 seeing its almost 20 yesrs old thecpaint have only a few imperfects tiny nicks but very visible problem the paint color is a dark Chocolate any additional suggestions?

[@hunterf.836]

Going to try this on my ‘05 Toyota Celica with a ton of tiny chips!

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Do it! It’ll make a huge difference

[@azdc502]

Does the cheese cloth scratch the paint around the chip when your wiping off extra paint build up?

[@Greenstrtjs87]

wow very nice job and tutorial. do you have any experience patching a black car with their black paint? wonder how it matches

[@enfield7123]

Really good job I going to sort out the chip on my bonnet of my mokka and your advice brilliant 👍🇬🇧

[@mikebellagiomusicgaming1893]

Did you use Bondo or did you just do like a detailed sand and just start feeling it with the micro paint/ brush

[@AZHerps]

No clear coat after?

[@patrickknight777]

I have some long scratches on my roof. Would this product work for that?

[@NN-kp7hi]

Hey thanks for this. I’ve got a question for you: So I’ve got an or so long, narrow chip/scrape on the edge of my hood from badly installed windshield wipers. Is this kit a good option for patching that up?

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

I think this would be your best bet. I have repaired that same damage with this kit. Worked perfect

[@kjpphotography4764]

How well does that stuff work on a metallic pear?

[@baro4178]

great video. Where did you use the cheese cloth?

[@Sarcasticone1]

Any issues later with any of the spots rusting through again? I found a very small rust spot from I guess a chip on a 2022 that has some surface rust. I am about to basically do the same process.

[@darme7o]

Been waiting on this one

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Hopefully it’s helpful! Thanks for watching dude

[@andrewneville9065]

Can you polish and wax after on that and how long do you wait for drying

[@christianericson168]

Just got a b20 swapped civic coupe and have been trying to figure out how to patch it up a bit, this is helpful

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Give this a shot!

[@HighwireCS]

Didn't have the greatest results from my first go. Previous owner backed up into something with 2 prongs so a good chunk of metal is missing from the 2 chips. Gonna give it another go tomorrow, having a hard time getting the paint to fill in evenly

[@henryren2790]

The paint takes way longer than 5 mins to cure, and the solvent just removes everything. I think those promotions are all scams

[@hectorcervantes5462]

Can clear coat be apllied afterwards?

[@Yuni_Retakes]

Yep!

[@CesarsCarCorner]

Nice little tutorial! I learned something new today!

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Glad I could help

[@t0mbolone]

Hello, can i use acetone to wipe off excess paint? Thanks :)

[@HoodieGlaze]

KEEP THE CONTENT UP MY GUY😎😤

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

I’m trying!

[@bradharrison5293]

Could you store the brushes in the paint and or clear coat between the 10 minutes dry time?

[@perriwasserman8537]

So I did the build up, then waited 10 minutes to use step 2 and I cleared all the paint right out of the chip. How long should the wait be prior to using the correct solution to level out paint?

[@StephenBrewer89]

Have been searching for the right EK either coupe or hatch and am coming up short. You have a great example of a car! I’m really wanting a white EX coupe. Perfect car!

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

I think this is a great car! White is nice too

[@IncXRay]

Do I need to sand a key scratch or not before putting the paint

[@surfkat59]

I used a tiny brush and paint. Once dried, I sanded it down lightly with 320 grit, then 400 grit. Perfect and smooth. I can't tell it was there. You just have to be patient

[@ethanpeeler3473]

The wipers are gone. Painting them? I've been needing to paint mine. Also noticed the new si lip and the side moulding are really black! Paint or ceramic coat?

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Yep paining the wipers! And I have a separate video on the trim coming

[@aliciagonzalez9345]

Thank you for posting! Have a 17 Nissan rogue sport that has a few chips that need to cover. Is there a solution to chips on base of wind shield wipers?

[@fpvflyby6855]

Do you know if they could paint match color off of a photo? I have an airplane that is Ferrari red. Thank you.

[@neilmatthew27]

My kit doesn’t came with a seal wax do you have any recommendations I can buy similar to that? Thanks!

[@NothinG21halo]

Do you have to apply clear coat after touching up the chip with paint?

[@JP-dw1fp]

For less than half the price of color chip, you can get some touch up paint and wet sand paper and make the chip actually be undetectable.

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

I used to do this method professionally, it was always hit or miss and many times the repair failed. Trust me when I say this is easier and a lifetime repair. Longest running chip repair I’ve done is almost 9 years old

[@babyvprojects]

I know this old but how do you know what color your paint is before ordering?

[@commentsboardreferee7434]

Look at sticker inside driver's side door it'll give you a color and code.

[@tallsz559]

I wonder if you could overfill it, sand it, leaving small scratches, but keeping it more or less level, then going over it with a rotary polisher waxing it. What do you think?

[@cherdixson7284]

Yea, I’m not seeing the link to the rust remover product. Could you tell me what the name of the product you used please and thank you!

[@kingjay3301]

Yes sir my civic looks perfect but has a lot of dings same color and everything will be doing this soon 🤙🏻🤙🏻🔥

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

This may help clean it up a bit

[@dejenadel7187]

Where do you buy it?

[@nothimrick]

Wait so question, if the chip does not have rust in it, we skip the sanding part and go straight to cleaning the chip with alcohol?

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Yep!

[@Detailveteran]

How long does it last in the chips ? Does it come out with bad weather ?

[@andin8615]

What’s celax?

[@G7130]

2:02 they cannot make you an exact paint color match when there is metallics or pearls, they put this in the disclaimer.

[@christyinthecarolinas]

I need some help! I bought this kit, wiped it with alcohol and did everything you did, but when i applied the sealant and buffed it in a circular motion, it took all the paint off. Even after waiting close to 30 mins when it happened the first time and trying it again. 😢 I just got a jeep patriot and it had some dings down to the metal. Really wanting to fix this to prevent rust.

[@kcgaming6868]

Depends on what kind of paint it is!

would this also work on scratches and/or bare metal from door bumping into something repeatedly?

What is the rust remover spray called please.

[@zackthebongripper7274]

My repair paints are color matched. But, it's a two-tone metallic red in two bottles. Not sure if I apply the base metallic red and then the clear red. Or, mix the two then apply???

Will this help with paint thats cracking

Omg that way to shake the paint shows how this spend his time off 😳 🤪

Can that solution be used on chips you have already filled with a paint pen? I filled a few chips i filled with a paint pen but its very uneven/rough. Trying to find a way to smooth and blend them. I have some pretty deep ones from winter i discovered today after a wash,clay bar and wax. 😢

Enjoyed this Anthony. The big chip looks like it could of benefited from PDR first before filling the chip. This way the light wouldnt distort thus drawing the eye to it. I'd have also been tempted to rather than using the leveling solution to have sanded down the chips. This would of given you a more seamless repair. However overall its great and a good job for sure. Thumbs up.

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

PDR would have drastically reduced the look of that chip! Unfortunately, it wasn’t part of the budget for this car hahs

[@GarageTherapyOfficial]

@@ALLDAYANTHONY Just caught up with the back story. It had everything, drama, action, people rolling round in poop and driving needlessly to places. All the best with the project!

[@FroztiProductions]

Can you do pdr on a chipped dent? I thought it would just pull the paint off since it's already been compromised.

[@GarageTherapyOfficial]

@@FroztiProductions it can be done depending on car. There is risk as with anything. If the PDR technician can get behind the Dent which I believe on that model you can then you can message it out then flatten it.

@@GarageTherapyOfficial Does the chip repair paint bond well enough to do it afterwards if you properly soften it with heat?
