If you is interested in spray painting the greatest results that i've had was by using the Magic Painter Method (i found it on google) without a doubt the no.1 course that I've tried.

[@1414141x]

Ok, there are lots of 'thumbs down' no doubt from people who are professionals or perfectionists. This was a simple repair job that came out very well. Anyone with a bit of craft experience could take this sort of repair on. If you took that to a pro body shop they would charge a lot of money. I think it was a good video and he explained what he was doing well.

[@snivvelslurderagementai2560]

for sure. and not all body shop "professionals" do a good job either. I've had paint flake off and panels rusting months after work in body shops covered by insurance. after they took large sums of money. I would prefer the work he did here than many body shops. i just did this job on my own bumper following this process and it turned out great. not perfect but great.

[@jollyschannel2586]

My fav part is the clear coat makes it shine

[@morbus74]

A little tip when you're sanding the primer, spray a thin coat of black paint over the primer, that way you can see if there's any pumps or hollows when you're sanding it.

[@morbus74]

@Big Boy hump, pump.. What ever 😉

[@YouTubeSupportTeams]

only if using a sanding block the entire time as it's flat. he used his fingers for some of the final sanding which will actually sand-in those dips and waves you're referring to. The tip is to always use a soft/flexible sanding block for an even finish

[@Alexander_l322]

A guide coat

[@basmangz4967]

Or just use light?🤔🤔🤔

[@JohnnyGTR34]

Guide coat, don’t know why I’ve rarely heard people use this technique. A show car painter told me about this technique and I use it every time I sand now... brilliant suggestion

[@uel202e0b]

I did a similar repair on my car and found that the hardest thing is to make a soft edge between the new and old base coat without noticing. You can also see the edge in this repair. At 8:13 he is pointing at the tape to make a soft edge and at 11:35 you can clearly see the edge. The edge will be even more noticeable in sunlight.

[@rustycooper7684]

You sure you're not seeing one of the reflections in the bumper? I'm struggling to see any lines myself.

[@uel202e0b]

@@rustycooper7684 I don't think it's a reflection. At 11:35 at the bottom, you can see a new shiny clear coat right next to an old beat-up clear coat where the tape was. The transition can be softened with buffing but at the right angle under the sunlight, the line is still noticeable. That is why you never repair the hood this way. You coat the entire hood. This car is probably no longer new, so such a repair makes sense.

[@thebigbowler]

Repaired a similar scuff like this today, this guide was absolutely excellent, really helped me with blending the repair into the rest of the car. The heat gun is the essential key to doing all 3 stages in one go.

[@Peter-sk9fj]

Would highly recommend getting a plastic piece from a junkyard and practicing on it first. I did the video thing above on my bumper and caused all kinds of problems (I mean me causing the problems from lack of experience). Then worked on my daughter's car bumper the following week and it came out great, similar to the video. Little things you learn of when to push the spray button on the can; to put on 2-3 very light coats first of any spray, let dry 5 minutes between each...then put on the heavier "wet" spray for the last coat. But not too much or it runs. Better I thought to let each "wet" coat dry overnight. Buy the higher cost sprays also, don't use anything cheap: another lesson I learned. I wrote down each step also then followed it. Rather enjoy doing this work now, did a friends 3 months later and he could not believe it was not done by a professional shop. Further note: I just used 180 grit and higher. 80 grit seemed to abrasive where I was fixing those scratches I caused with the 80 grit.

[@angeles3129]

Omg, you are amazing! I am sad because I scratched and dented my car today. It bothered me so much that I phoned a repair shop. They want 600 Canadian dollars. I am a single mom of three kids. This gives me hope. I will build the courage to do it by myself. Thank you.

Now I can fully appreciate and understand the amount of effort AND time it takes a body shop to fix a car.

[@rockefelleragent1357]

It's very very hard and time consuming work especially the sanding / wet-sanding part. Spraying is fun but sanding isn't. I have done refinishing my front bumper (the entire bumper and requires removal) in the past and took me 2 months to sand the damn thing, before and after painting. Sanding time will take up 90% of the entire process. If you use professional tools such as sand grinder with various sizes cutting pads it can cut down man hours by 1/2 but still pain in the ass. If you use 2K clear coat then you don't have to wet-sand after clear coat because it does pretty good job laying the clear down nice and flat, but you gotta have skillful hands to do it right. If you use 1k lacquer clear coat man you are in for tough luck cause you have to sand it again and again and again till it gets smooth. And if the clear you put on is too thin then you'll lose all your clear from sanding so you have to apply plenty of clear so this problem can be prevented. Don't try to save a few bucks on clear coat by getting those cheap 1k clear stuff just go with the 2K clear and you'll save yourself a lot of work.

[@Dmaaaain]

Works like a charm! I checked a lot of video’s and tutorials. This one made most sense to me. Did a whole bumper with lot of scratches and half a panel on the side. Perfect result. Glad I chose to follow this one. Cheers!

[@carlolobrutto8251]

I check other video and it said that you shouldn't use body filler that use for a fender and apply it on a plastic bumper because it could crake. Bondo bumper filler is made for plastic only and to use on bumper only. Also to use adhesion promoter before putting on primer so the primer and the paint will stick to the bumper. What's your opinion. Great job. But confused.

[@BSGSV]

He did a great job. But problems I have had attempting this that were out of my control: Paint can sprayed evenly but the paint can tended to spatter. The physical paint layer was even, but being metallic, the color was uneven even after extended and vigorous mixing. Clearcoat nozzle developed clogs resulting in uneven spray patterns and blotchy finish. Even with a clean garage and a tacky wipedown before clearcoating, you cannot avoid trash in the finish. Lastly, even in this video, there is an obvious difference in color between the original paint color and the sprayed area.

[@MrNoNameThanks]

The tip is to warm your paint cans up for 5mins in front of a hot air gun shaking every 30seconds till the tin is warm and warm paint cans have much better effect, no splatter either.

In Short, this will work perfectly for this type of job and will last many years on bumper type surfaces. Much more economical than the $800 to $1200 job from a body shop. Their rates are horrendous. Good job on the video.

Anyone who says differently either works in the industry and is trying to protect the overpriced nature of "paint and body" shops in general or has some other bias. Show me proof.

[@Julesvale]

@@gosh7001 well was lazy to explain but lets do this ofc if you run your car once in a while it will last ofc if your car is in a garage maybe it'll last more than one year but all that depend on many conditions like where you live etc the weather also like if you're near some salty water well you better dont do that. The reason is that first if it goes away you cant repair again and 2nd that if it's sanded with impuroities just as the video the last layer will go off pretty easily but not only where you have fixed it will expand to aln your car if done badly this is the problem

[@gosh7001]

@@Julesvale That is very much correct ... I agree with you there ... it will last much longer in a more controlled working environment like a DIY paint booth, while also sanding and using tack at proper times. Warming the supplies and applying paint to a warm surface (80 - 100 F) will also go along way towards more longevity. Drying the surface area after, polishing and then protecting with a sealant will quadruple the lifespan. So there are many factors that increase the longevity of DIY Paint Jobs. It really is up to the individual to to their own due diligence that will yield the best results according to the region they live in.

Thanks Mr. Motors, or can I call you Madfa? Love your videos: short and to the point, some drive me mad ,waffling.

Going through your video I knew Im not gonna go through steps on my car (rather leave the scrach there 😅) but kept watching as your job was so professional and satisfying to watch 😊

[@erickgarza5423]

sorry m8, did u polished the area after applying the clear coat? Im feeling extremely safe of doing a repair myself after watching this tutorial, excellent job!

[@JooshYT]

Only ever compound / polish after Atleast 24 hours for the clear coat to fully dry. Then wax after a week or so just to let everything cure properly

[@CARSMullingar]

I was always told for diy work like this especially in colder damp climates like Ireland we were better waiting for minimum 72+ hours before compounding and at least a month for polish or wax as it takes way longer for the solvents to properly evaporate from the paint.

[@JooshYT]

@@CARSMullingar Yeah i guess in colder climates you would want to wait longer for the paint to cure fully. Generally the longer you wait the safer youll be. Just if you drive after painting cover the area with some fabric with tape so you dont get any stoned from the road damaging that shiny paint.

I'm doing this as I txt, I've just finished sanding down the area I needed to work on. Tomoz will apply my body filler and sand that down. It's looking good so far

Brilliant, thank you. Have been looking for a good guide and this was spot on 👍🏼

[@EssexSilvering]

Brilliant!! ... I've always used my pro guns but like you said and proved on video you can actually get a good job done with rattle cans, .. Well done and thanks for sharing.

[@mrshawterry6]

Real good video, and work Sir, i really like how you explained everything you were doing, some just work, and act like they can't talk, and some do the work good, and play music, without saying a word, i thought these video's were to teach, not play music, like it's a party, this is 1 of the best video's teaching people, thank you Sir.

Man that “Turd” coat is frigging awesome! Great job... Ima follow all these steps on my old beater pickup...

Great job ! But certainly not a Fix it Yourself job for the general. That's a master's touch.

Bloody hell, amazing, with just cans of paint!

Did you paint the hole thing or just where your primed🥴 dident get that, and what do you do about the spot where the old paint meets the new? Great work btw👌

[@mr.wizeguy8995]

My friend owns body shop, some customer came and ask how much cost job like this fender. Customer thought it was too expensive and he tried it self. Few week later he came with horrible mess on fender and said "ok, you can do it now" only problem it was much harder now to fix it because of that mess and it cost more, still agreed that higher cost. So after all it ended being much more expensive, those stuff customer bought and all extra work to get rid of that messy DIY fix.

[@mr.wizeguy8995]

@Stanley Well that happened several years ago. These days he only paints cars that comes through from insurance companies because those works are better priced.

[@hugochka]

What a great repair using only spray cans and filler! Great video!

[@maxhazlewood197]

This is a great guide and I wish I'd seen it before I did a repair on one of my cars a few months ago. The biggest mistake I made was starting off with 80 grit instead of 180 and I did not use a 2k clear! At least I know now thanks.
