We take a stab at filling in all the rusted rock chips on the Audi's hood and bumper, and get a little carried away doing paint correction on the entire car...

If I can make a suggestion. When applying the paint take a razor blade and just lightly use the edge to slide over the excess paint. The result is it will fill in those chips very smooth so they don’t look rough from the paint brush. Then I let mine dry and added a second layer after each one settled. The result was the chip fill was nice and level. Then after all your other process it would be almost perfect. Great Video man!

[@MGMotorsports]

Hey that’s great advice! Thank you, I’m always looking to improve my process!

[@RoxusRemo]

@@MGMotorsports Another way I saw from another vid was to softly blob the paint from one corner and let it flow and fill the patch a bit like solder. Then it will form a soft uniform coat. Im still too scared to try this haha. Great vid

[@legionof0ne441]

Just an FYI, even though you went high on the paint when it was wet, it dries very very thin. You should do multiple coats of the 1 stage to build the entire spot up to level then once the middle of the spot is just barely above the height of the rest of the paint, let it dry and then hit it with the sand paper. Your big chip in the middle is all very very low which is why you can see it so much.

[@MGMotorsports]

Very good advice here. Thank you

@@MGMotorsports Thank you for putting out videos, even if its not perfect you are helping people out! Would love to see an update after trying a new technique!

[@Chris-hw4mq]

Sometimes its better to respray the whole hood, you can fill small rust chips but the big ones will be visible

[@fnagdungdagint]

Would it be a better idea to use some self leveling primer in stead of multiple layers of paint?

[@Crimedogmcgriffith]

great video! different technique i havent see. Have tons of rock chips with little bits of rust and couldnt figure out how to get into the small spots without ruining surround paint really bad. This gives me more hope!

[@Penissniffer]

Thanks for the tutorial gonna give it a go made it look straight forward for a simpleton like myself

[@MGMotorsports]

Anyone can do it! Check out my latest videos where I go in more detail on the steps I take before performing something like this!

[@thomj32]

Just thinking maybe for that bigger patch for a better finish mask around it and do several thin coats with a spray can in stages? I've never done this, my bonnet is peppered with small rusty chips, car is in use daily so don't have time to take it off and do the whole thing

[@kingdele01]

Did you consider replacing the clear coat & putting on a ppf?

[@graemepaterson9436]

You didn't list where to get that dot paint pen thing? Can you message or leave the link below? Thanks

[@taehoonkim2038]

It is a great video. Thank you. Is clear coat okay for the soft sanding, or should I reapply the clear coat? Thanks,

[@MGMotorsports]

If you are able to properly compound and polish after you should be fine as long as you have enough clear coat. I’ve never had to reapply clear

Anytime lolz!

good job

[@jordanzambell3902]

awesome video this is gonna help me but quick question, i have my car paint and the materials to remove the rust as well as paint thinner but can i fill in the holes with just the paint wait for it to dry and apply clear coat from a spray can and not mix it with the paint? thank you!!

[@MGMotorsports]

Yes definitely you can, the only reason I like doing it this way is getting the height of the paint perfect doing a 2 stage (base then clear) is tricky. Single stage works much better since you don’t need to be perfect and can sand it down, but the results aren’t as good either.

[@jordanzambell3902]

@@MGMotorsports how would you do the ratio like 1/2 paint and 1/2 clear. i can probably spray the can in a small bowl and mix it in with the paint. or i can just buy the clear.

[@MGMotorsports]

Yes that would work!

[@Rabbit.760]

I clean the rust out completely with 4 to 1 P-Acid. Idk if your primer has a rust solvent but i don't play with rust

[@h22bomb]

One of the better videos out there discussing chip repair, would like to hear your take on doing the chip with a 2 stage paint?

[@eduardwalhout1740]

Metallic paint is hard to do. The flakes kind of follow the shape of the 'dabs' if that makes any sense. Its pretty much impossible to get it right unless your spraying a larger area.

[@MGMotorsports]

completely agree, but spraying it wasn't in the budget unfortunately, this worked well enough and was a drastic improvement over what it previously looked like

[@branmon5109]

can i use isopropal alcohol instead of paint thinner?

[@MGMotorsports]

You can, it’s better than nothing, but the paint thinner will break down a little more than IPA does

[@tommyholt3465]

That’s a hell of an improvement. I’m about to deal with some very small rusty rock chips which are scattered across our car’s hood. I think you had a tough situation with those larger chips. Well done. 👍🏻

[@MGMotorsports]

Thank you! It really transformed the vehicle! Good luck with yours as well!

👌🏽Nice idea
