[@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]

[@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

Or just use light?🤔🤔🤔

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

I have used this video twice for different cars. I like the simplicity of how he shows the job. Just a few grades of sandpaper the Filler sand again and then the paint.

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.

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.

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.

Good job mate, you followed all steps correctly. The issue with cans is what it looks like 6 months later. Sinkage is the main problem with repairs like this. 4-1 high build primer has to be used over filler for Lifetime guarantee. Hs laquer as well. Your job looks good now but wont last the life of the car. Good diy job

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.

[@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.

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.

[@kokoloko12398]

Awesome! I would love to see how would you do on a rear bumper for example. If the damage is little, do you need to respray the clear coat on the entire bumper or you can make a transition using a binder? Maybe you can make a video about this process : - )

[@TrueIgnition]

alphabetagamma You do a thing called a blend basically if you don’t want to repaint a whole bumper.

[@MercutioUK2006]

@@MC-girly I think the main problem was my lack of experience, but it wasn't a bad result. Sadly, old Fords rust lol

Man people need to quit thinking you need to cut out an entire chunk of the car and weld in an entire new piece of steel to fix a couple holes, bumps, or scratches. This video right here is what you do.

[@Ebbsilen]

The key to success is a good clear with hardener. I don't use that exact brand, but a similar product and the results are always incredible, even if the preparation and the paint steps turned pretty bad. The clear is always saving my ass!

[@archiemegel1013]

He hides the180 scratches that where still visible After sanding with 180 I would use 240 grit Then 340 grit Then 400 grit Prime Paint And clear

[@markmikheyev6730]

ARCHIE MEGEL I hate to burst ur bubble but 180 is what all shops finish off body work with :/

[@archiemegel1013]

@@markmikheyev6730 lol no they dont maybe the ones that dont know anything about body work do. 180 grit has way to much tooth. Useing to spood sand paper is also not good bc the primer and paint doesnt have any tooth to grab on it's to spood and useing 180 is to curse so you'll see sand scratches in the primer it's just way to ruff After a while you'll see that it was repaired

[@archiemegel1013]

@@jeanpaulngpingching3435 I'm not sure what you mean exactly But if your car needs to be sanded for primer and paint Depending on how deep the scratches are start with 80 grit Then 120 grit 150 grit 220 grit Prime pant and clear

[@MallinsonBro]

I'd be surprised if you can't see the filler too, to say it was put over paint, and there was a lot left, assuming on a high gloss Finnish it would stand out in the sun. And the fact you will never get metallic to match out of a rattle can. Repairs look 100% different inside and outside.

[@steveguest8028]

Archie Megel All bodyshops finish primer in 180 grit, it’s the high build primers job to hide all the sanding scratches, .......Think before you post stupid comments

[@wonderboy5622]

He is pretty good... Not a beginner... But not a lot of us got that skills

[@smithgov]

Why would you allow body filler to get on paint above crease line that is not scratched? Also why would you not tape off areas so sanding marks are not made on non damaged areas?

[@robinlee232]

I followed the steps shown here when my bike had 'deep' scratches. After I was done, it looked like a car! :)

[@matthewconnell4234]

I really lolled at this. I like this as a manufacturing process "spray a car"

[@tonyfondacaro1980]

Looks simple enough but technique is everything. That takes time to develop.

[@802asher]

Nice work, though would like to see repair in full sun. In my limited experience doing this, the clear coat may be the hardest thing to perfect. End up with the 'orange peel finish' oftentimes. Part of my problem was undoubtedly doing this application outside. The sanding/wet sanding may be a close second trying to avoid making the damaged area larger or oversanding. Also, I would advise against doing this work in an attached garage, as intense odor/vapors will get into your living space undoubtedly.

[@davidtheswedishtechguy]

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👌

[@ahhgea]

I think it's about doing it a few times. After watching other videos this seems like a the same process as a professional job but on a budget and perfect for small jobs and you're not super particular on it being perfect. This is exactly what I've been looking for. Will be making my own video following this process.

[@matthewconnell4234]

yeah this guy is clearly exceptional at doing this... there are gonna be a few pitfalls that are going to give people problems but from the comments above, the process works well but colour match is where it will succeed or fail :)

[@darkomtc]

I tried on my car. All simple, but ended up terrible. If I did it now, it probably would have been perfect. Key mistakes: make sure base paint can is not spitting paint unevenly (not my mistake, but i should've checked), make sure the paint is a perfect match, make sure you apply light coats and wait in between (5min between base, 10 min between clear coats, since they are "wet" for gloss), no need to apply base on a whole panel, but you should add clear on a whole panel (or be very good at blending, but still, cover larger area than painted area). Hope that helps. I ended up painting the whole hood with air compressor. So much easier, and you can control the rate of paint added, while cans always shoot (imo) too much paint, especially for first few clear coats. It's a cheap $200 compressor and $15 spray gun. Paint is A LOT cheaper when bought in ml (oz or whatever) rather than in spray can. Base paint and clear for hood cost me ~$20.

[@upcycleelectra8311]

Im a panel beater spray painter Been using Aerosol paint cans for small blow in repairs since the early 1980s Wouldnt have used 80 grit paper on that Prep repair Plus any pro body guy would have masked the repair area 1st (Look at the size of them scratches outside the repair area ) Would have flattend & smoothed damaged area with 180 grit Filled deep scratches with fine scratch filler then grade sanded repair area for professional Prep smooth finish For best results shake can well.. to mix then heat can up in warm water ( Helps Prevent paint from clogging Nozzle & spitting ect) use hair dryer to heat repair area 1st in colder climates ( helps paint to key to panel & prevents against paint reacting & Runs ) before a during paint layers applications. Especially on final colour & Lacquer applications For a rich deep Glossy professional Finish.

i followed this and my entire bumper came out great. not perfect, but great. it will pass the eye test. there is just very little "orange peel" so I'm just going to polish it out once it fully hardens. the one thing DIY people should be aware of, is that you need to choose the proper primer color to get the best result. my paint was metallic silver. and I had to grapple whether to use gray, light gray or white. I did some research and most people were recommending light gray. I found that after applying a touch of the base paint on light gray it came out too dark compared to the original color on the vehicle, so I used white primer and the final result is ALMOST a perfect match. so play around a little bit.
