I have a blue car, Could you show me how to fly a helicopter
@Ariesstubbornbutt6 жыл бұрын
It does work. If you have paint with clearcoat mixed already its great. I buffed it out with Wolfgang compound and it looks great.

Am I wrong here or did it not still look like shit. My screen is small so maybe I'm seeing it wrong but it did look like somebody just colored in some black paint marker pen.
@opelpedia8 жыл бұрын
everyone is entitled to have their own opinion , it's been two years since I made this video and I have not felt the need to repaint the bumper... I think that says quite a lot about how it looks in reality
@tammyforbes21018 жыл бұрын
+opelpedia it may just be my screen homie but it sure looks like it didn't help much but like I said I could be wrong. Hay if it helps then it's definetly worth doing. As a detailer I know you can't always fix everything but the best thing to do is make it a little Less noticeable.

He had actual body damage, he was trying to fill paint scratches inside of a dent basically. That's why it doesn't look good
@jamieK1116 жыл бұрын
It'll look fine from a few feet away compared to how a white gouge on a black car draws the eye. Not every car needs a perfect cosmetic repair or the time investment.

@mladjo729 жыл бұрын
You never mix paint and clear coat!!! Should be two layers! First paint and than clear coat!!
@opelpedia9 жыл бұрын
mladjo72 this is true if we are speaking of full body paint job, here is about fixing a scratch, if you are doing your way you will have the portion inside the scratch higher than the rest of paint so this means you must do a more aggressive polish that will make the scratch even more visible. Any way you are free to do whatever you want so good luck.

I thought what I did was wrong because really near the damage you can see it, but as far you cannot. I used a fix it paint from pepboys and later used polishing compound by hand. Did not use any sandpaper at all. I did this like 2 years ago can I use sand paper what number? To make it look better?
@opelpedia10 жыл бұрын
Use sandpaper with a granulation of 3000 if its your first time with sandpaper try on another surface not on the car! Use water when sanding.

whats the point in doing that if you dont bondo ?
@Xcorgi8 жыл бұрын
It's a good technique but since you didn't fill in the dented plastic with body filler the end result looks like shit. I don't know why you skipped the body filler because if you had to sand all they way down to the white plastic bumper itself, then you may as well have done the proper body prep. The paint or final finish will ALWAYS ONLY be as good as the prep work. Other than that the idea of mixing the paint and clear coat then applying with a brush is a great method!
@opelpedia8 жыл бұрын
Thank you for the feedback, not using filler was a compromise in order to make the video accessible to more viewers, we wanted something simple that anyone can do at home, in the future we intend on doing a more in depth video and we will add this part also.

You don't put body filler on a bumper cover, only on a steel surface. 40 years in the business.

This is probably not a showcar. Getting a bumper cover repainted professionally can cost over $1000 in some areas. This repair is good enough for me.

Yeah I wonder how long that is going to last, first of all you have those huge dents in there and that calls for a new panel altogether but aside from that painting your car with a brush over you old paint... Well that is going to start chipping after the first wash with a power washer... I tried to fix small rock marks on my front bumper with this method and it didn't last, I cant imagine this will either.

2 years have passed and the bumper is still ok without repainting it. next time use better paint or degreaser

opelpedia what do use before the base coat ?
@opelpedia8 жыл бұрын
+myrtho charles for this particular case we didn't use any primer as a preparatory coating, just a degreaser to help with the paint adherence to the surface. using primer on scratches will make very hard to fill and get an even surface.
