*13:45** Can you do a tape mask around the repair to lessen those issues?*

[@frankl54]

Actually did it myself like this and results are great. Only tricky thing is matching the colors of metallics

[@30YearOldBunta]

I bought this today after watching your videos. I redid my paint dabber work with your squeegee technique and couldn't believe how well it worked. for some reason a bondo spreader would pull it up after but the razor worked like a charm. I like this technique because I have very little clear to work with (I already burned through in a few spots so it's not gonna be perfect by any means) but I figured I could learn on this and save what I have left. Eventually I'll respray the car but for now this will look great.

Hi there! I need to light my paint, what kind of silver do I have to buy?

[@gabrielkashani5902]

Hello, my friend, do not be bored, can I ask what is the best alternative to Mirka Mini to remove extra edges, which means what tool can be used instead of Mirka Mini?

[@laszlorogacs1925]

I use Festool Spot Repair Scraper from 3M, i can shave the excess touch up paint to be level. I sand it, everything looks perfect, but after polishing i can see, that the touch up paint is lower than the original paint. It looks like while i polish it (maybe from the heat) it shrinks. I don't know. I use of course 2K paint with 2 days drying time.

[@jonathanharris6232]

Same. Very frustrating cuz on a horizontal panel like a door, I either have to leave a slight edge to the paint so that I dont diminish the paint within the cavity, or I level it flush and seemingly always leave a slight divot in the touch up after polishing. Very frustrating

[@poleypops]

Did you find out how to avoid this?

[@dwindeyer]

@@poleypops I think this is because 2 days is not enough for a single deep paint application to dry correctly. The paint is much deeper when doing a scratch repair than the original application. I think it needs to dry much longer, or use multiple thinner layers to make it dry quicker.

[@superteamvideo1930]

Very much enjoy your scratch fixing because it's unfortunately such a common occurrence these days. That's why I only buy white cars, to see the scratches less, but people still can key them. I bought a Mika fine scraper to try out. My dad suffered for years with a huge scratch that he self painted on his new MB. You could've saved it, but he finally let some 3rd rate shop repaint it and it was awful. I never forgot how much he hated it. Thank you.

I don´t get it, what kind of base coat is this? I guess it´s solvent paint? But i never know you could get solvent base coat with metallics? Or is this really waterborne paint mixed with clearcoat??? I´m confused :D From what brand do you buy your Paint? Sikkens,PPG, Glasurit? thx

[@tamimmiran349]

The only think I have differently with is mixing the paint, clear coat and or the hardner. I have a apline white bmw.

[@airlaurian]

I am totally amazed at your work. I got the Mirka file and the other tools I need. Please tell me, after the 2000 grit sanding, what compound level did you use to polish? thank you so much

Great stuff.. One question please Here you used silver to get the blue lighter What Colour would you use for say green.. Black.. Red... Grey?.. Some paints you used hardener only.. Here you used both clear and hardener.. Please explain Again wonderful work

[@Czaf182]

you should light your paint with the silver or pearl that is used to mix the color, ask the person who sold/mixed you paint. acrylic coat uses hardener and doesnt need clear coat, but (I think) only possible with solic colors (non metallic or pearl) base coat, naturally doesnt use hardener, but he puts into clear coat, then it needs hardener. I hope I could help you, my english is just terrible

Which silver did you take for metallic effect? is the paint and clear coat from the same manufacturer? or does it not matter? color normal basecoat?

Hi thank you again for these videos. Let me ask you again when you should use the Shark Blade or the Festool carbide blade. Which is better?

[@Amddetailing]

both serve their purpose and both are ok if you know how to use them

[@thenoobbox123]

@ Amd detailing - Hope you don't mind me asking but what happens if you don't apply hardener? Can you still mix clear coat and base coat together only?

[@Amddetailing]

it can't do without hardener, just the name tells you, it will never harden without it

[@thenoobbox123]

Understood, thank you!@@Amddetailing

[@jonathanharris6232]

Is the basecoat waterborne or solvent? Whenever i use "scratches happen" paint and mix it in with 2k clear it seems to break up and not incorporate how it should...

[@as680783]

Always use solvent base for minor repairs bro.

[@macdruxxx]

Hi. I would like to ask you why you use a Mirka mini file not to a "shark tooth"? Is it better or easier to use? I want to buy one of them but I'm an amateur. So it is good to have an advise from sobebody who use this.

[@Amddetailing]

it is a very good tool but also very dangerous for the paint, a little carelessness and you can damage the bodywork on the vehicle

[@macdruxxx]

@@Amddetailing You mean the shark tooth. Right? So I understand for garage works this mini file is better.

There is missing gap between afyer sanding with 2000 grit and suddenly everything complete Can u explain the clear coat, polish, etc process?

[@as680783]

Exactly my thoughts. After he had tidied up with the 4000g sandpaper he most likely used a medium compound/polish and a soft buffing cloth to bring up the shine and remove any burs or hazing.

[@pcdetail602]

I'm hook on your channel 😂. Question is your base color just simple base without clear and hardener ? I ask cause I see you always mix it together

[@Amddetailing]

Mix together is beter

[@pcdetail602]

So when I buy the paint for the car with the code add additional the hardener and clear in it ?

[@pcdetail602]

Was the base paint in bottle just base alone before you started mixing ? Or was it already mix and you added additional hardener and clear ?

[@bartbu6569]

Great Job but why is it better to use this file instead of sandpaper? Thanks

[@jamesbaldwin145]

With this tool you only take off the excess paint and don't touch the good paint. With sandpaper you take off paint from the surrounding area so sometimes you can burn through.

[@Amddetailing]

exactly😉😉😉

[@laszlorogacs1925]

because if you use only 2000 grit paper, you can be sure, you will sand through the clearcoat while you try to sand off the touch up paint "mountain".

[@bartbu6569]

Sounds good, thanks for the good content !!

[@Amddetailing]

You have an explanation in some of the previous videos

[@kaferere]

Really love the videos, but instead of using an audio compressor with a slow release time to make the music "duck", please just set the music at the compressed level and leave it there. The Ducking technique you're using is ok for DJ work, but it's really annoying when you're trying to focus on what you're saying in a video. Thanks for your work.

is it water-based paint with 2k clear coat??? in theory it is not compatible

[@Cusers]

too mush tark too mush time x2 speed and still tooooooooooooo longggggggg

[@kennyhumphries100]

skipped the entire polishing process. dont believe it. theres a reason metallic basecoats and clearcoat are applied separately as the metallics sink to the bottom and sit on the wrong flip,hense u get touch up bottles of colour and clear separately. also as a professional painter for the last 30 years as sein on my channel, i could have prepped the scratch and the rest of the doors in about 15 minutes,blended and baked in about another 15 minutes to a showroom condition. not the above process in unsanded,unprepared paint.people will just be wasting there time with this.

[@1bugeyedrex]

Yea let's just do a half ass job respraying and panels on a brand new Porsche without removing any of the trim or mouldings, handles, etc... so that a month down the road not only has your brand new car had thr whole side resprayed with tape lines on everything, but it now shows the bonus flaking of Clearcoat on all the edges! Sounds way better to me then just touching it up to hide it...... 😆 I hate seeing and having to work on nice almost brand new cars come in with half ass paint work done on them, and having to go over it. It's a nightmare. Now since let's say thr door got dented or something and a real shop was fixing it, we would remove everything like you're supposed to. However, since head KZbin painter decided to quickly paint the car taping it off, we now have to sand and feather the edges that were created by doing so. Which usually ends up in burning thru some spots and having to spay basecoat to cover those spots now. Now we have way more time and money trying to fix the previous job and will have baseoat in a bunch of spots where it should have never needed to be worrying about the color matching as well! I think I'll go with touching it up to hide it instead

[@kennyhumphries100]

@@1bugeyedrex yeh ok mate🤣 in an ideal world you would strip away… unless you are gonna charge the customer to strip there car to bits in time and labour then that’s fine. Can guarantee you, a professional painter has no tape lines or any of the above nonsense ur talking about. Not where I come from anyway. What your basically saying is every smart repair guy out there is a cowboy because that’s exactly what they do!! Not only that they blend clearcoat out mid panel. Am sure you will also have something to say about that? That’s because whoever has done it has done a shit job of it.. again,not in my world. Waste your time with this if you like.
