the fact of the matter is, no one is staring at your vehicle anyway. Like someone walking by says, "oh my God do you see that scratch catching in the sunlight", as they are 3 inches away looking at it like its a big pimple or something lol. As long as you can do simple repairs like this to truck the eye 4-6 feet away - its all good. These are great tutorials to help us keep out cars looking decent with out spending a lot of money

Wondering why you dont have to ads clearcoat when touching in deep scratches. All that rubbing, doesnt go through the existing clearcoat around/on the scratches?

[@vintagesteelgarage]

Great simple repair method, great tutorial videos. Just bought touch up paint for 2 of my cars, cant wait to give it a go.

[@mundocpc]

That recommendation about not cutting through the clear coat reminds me of that time when I used a touch pen to remove a scratch from my Jimny's door and all looked great. Then I overcut and burned through the clear coat (by hand!) and ended up having to paint the whole door in a body shop. At least the repair looked flawless, after that. It was a lesson well learned 😢

[@sdaafasfad]

I don't work in the automotive field, rather IT - in some ways, world's apart. I bought a 2002 Toyota Celica for £800, bought a Veilside rep body kit at £400, so I spent half of the car's price I bought it for! Call me an idiot... And I'd agree! I managed to fit all of the parts, bought a 100L compressor, air lines, paint guns, white base coat and 1K clear. I spent ages prepping the car, learning how to paint over the course of 6-7 months - I only to burn through the clear... I wanted 2 weeks for any solvents to evaporate, and then ruined it. Luckily it was only one panel and the paint was fresh so it's not like the paint colour had enough time to degrade and fade out! I did it in white the first time because it hides imperfections really well! I wanna have another go but this time, I'd be doing it on an E92 M3. It already kills my wallet so I need to recoup the costs of any paintwork needed. At least, that's what I tell myself when I'm umming and ahhhhing about buying nardo grey for it. Anyway I've waffled on enogih. I leaned when painting my own car, that I'd just rather someone else did it because it's not my problem if they fuck it up 😂😂

Love your tutorials biught yoour kit did rear bumber had some scratches on my Carbon Black VXR from previous owner + front bumber, door panel's, left side mirror and came out real nice. Only lol forgot one side and dried out a few hours had to wet sand it but came out real nice. Important reminder the cutting compound as you mentioned be carefull as ir does remove the top clear coat so max 2 times and switch to a lighter polish or wax does it to thanks saved me a lot of money painting car in Sweden is extremely expensive and rhey alsaus want to paint the hole damn thing = $$$$

Nice one mate and thanks for contributing a tip

[@Winklenut]

[@gftj1]

HI! Is this only paint or paint with clear coat?

[@ohsoloco5113]

Around 4:28 he mentions that it has clear coat.

[@NoGasWelcomeAboard]

Looks way better. Have you tried this after adding a few drops of clear coat to your base color in the paint cup?

[@Alex-mr4is]

Thats what I was thinking too! It may Need some 2000 Grid sanding before polishing but the Chance to fill those gaps may be higher than without clearcoat!

[@cvrpov]

Yes a small amount of clear added it is still successful

[@timscott3071]

Fantastic video but just to clarify, the new paint doesn’t have any clearcoat on top of it?

[@thegeneraljoe67]

Nice one - love things like this. Quick question with the drill: how much is too much pressure? I never really know if I'm pressing too hard or not enough with any kind of paint correction...

[@cvrpov]

Just a small amount of pressure. Let the polish do the work, plenty of it for cut

@paulelverstone If you're grunting, belching and farting whilst you lay on with the pressure... it's too much 🥴

[@Tony-tourette]

I like the way you show that you can’t make it any worse so why not go for it 😊

[@xKamzZ__]

Tried this method a couple of days ago and I must say it absolutely works! I was so nervous of messing up my car, but it worked out perfect, literally just follow along the video. Quick question though, I have some clear coat scratches that are noticeable throughout the car and it’s pretty old, what’s your best method? Sand first or just do the same method?

[@cvrpov]

Good stuff. If they are just in the clearcoat then maybe just sand and polish?

[@xKamzZ__]

Would you say starting from 1500 and then 2000? Then compound or polish?

[@zsoltpapp3363]

Useful video, thx. Can you do this on a plastic bumper as well? Most bumpers are not made of metal anymore

[@cvrpov]

Yes you can. No difference really other than bumpers heat up quicker when polishing.

I wish i knew this last year before i tried touch up paint. Good job mate.

[@lewnesa]

How do you get rid of those unsightly touch up paint repairs?

[@joshua8883]

@@lewnesa Thats what i mean, i should have waited to try this method first. I'm going to try lightly sanding the touch up spots with fine grit sandpaper first then try this method.

[@majorrgeek]

Excellent tip, thank you only one thing perhaps need to mention to clean the surface thoroughly as you can before you start applying paint step. Also, is it possible to spray a light clear coat and polish up

[@ryanhp3170]

Thanks for the great video. Straight to the point. I just braved myself to fix a scratch on my car. I had all the tools but was too scared to try it for one main reason - how much layers taken off when sanding the panel? Any tip on fixing car plastic emblem? My beemer rear badge got a scratch. It's not too bad but I am just paranoid. Can I apply the same method? What "filler" can be used for plastic? I'm trying to find a cheaper option instead of buying a new one.

[@chefgf27]

Thanks for the tips, quick question; what do you suggest for prep work/ cleaning ahead of doing the repair? A simple car shampoo cleaning or rubbing alcohol?? Much appreciated

[@old_con]

Hi can I just ask why you use a base coat near the colour and not the actual paint code paint ? Thanks, your vids are excellent for us diy’ers. 👍🏽😎

[@cvrpov]

This was the actual paint. But this method it doesn't have to be exact

[@shadyproductionsinc.2931]

Cheers mate for all the vids, not just this one. I'm new to machine polishing, so was overly careful at the beginning. Once I'd seen a few of your vids on chips I give it a go meself on me black Honda CRV, smearing the paint in with the old finger then buffing off with a drill and some G360( bang on stuff that👍) on a farecla black foam. I found though I had to give it a quick once over with a DA to take some trails/hols out, but I don't give a toss, it saved me a ton of money.......crippled me back though🤣🤣. Cheers pal keep up the good work.

[@zozimozi1110]

Amazing results and I'm definitely going to try this. But I have a question. Cars usually have a layer of clear coat on top of the paint. If I don't apply any isn't the paint going to get damaged more easily? If I add clear coat is it going to make the process harder?

Great video! A couple of questions. Did these scratch go all the way through the clear coat? Did you use paint only or was it mixed with lacquer?

[@petreticu6008]

Is that a special paint or its regular? No clear/hardener needed? Wont it peel off/oxidize after some time?

[@eazyd1983]
