Repair Automotive Paint Scratches With Spray Paint

[@harrynazarian3184]

Some things I like to do when it comes to rattle cans and you are spraying outside (THIS IS MY OPINION AND WHAT I DO ON MY OWN CARS): 1.) Cover more than your paint repair area. You can get drop cloths or even drop plastics from Lowe's, Home Depot, Walmart, China Freight for nothing. 2.) Keep the area clean as much as you can, before and after sanding. Really important. If you're working outside, before you lay the primer down, go over everything with a tack cloth or blue shop towel again. 3.) Do LIGHT COATS!!!! Even with primer. DO NOT try and cover everything with one pass/coat. Less is more. Stay consistent with the distance you spray from, motion (left to right), and nozzle work. 4.) Use 600 - 800 grit when smoothing the edges of primer. Don't press hard, even if you have a soft sanding block. Light pressure to medium pressure at best. Slow and steady is key. Clean the area often, usually between sanding. 5.) Once the primer feels smooth to the back of your hand, depending on how many callouses you have, wipe nice and clean with a tack cloth. 6.) Base coat painting, one major thing I disagree with in the video (I did dislike it), is keep your motion from left/right or up/down consistent with nozzle spray. In other words, if I write the spray sound do not do this: Pfffft, Pfft, pffffffffffffffffffffffffffft, pffft, pfft, pfft, pfft, Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft. You want to do this: pfffffffffft, pffffffffft, pffffffffft, pffffffffft, pfffffffft, pfffffffft. Consistency is key, and try to overlap the fan of the spray with the base coat as much as you can. DO NOT try and cover the primer in the first pass, or any other blemishes. Slow and steady. Add more coats. Consistency and patience also helps conserve paint as well. CLEAN the nozzle between paint coats, paint away from the panel (start on paper) then work towards the panel area, then paint away from the panel area onto the paper again. Shake can between coats as well. Important. 7.) When using clear coat, especially 2K, wear a mask, something that blocks out chemicals, not just COVID. The first two coats, keep it light, the dry coat. The following coats, or the wet coat, you can add two or three more coats on top, but be consistent! Follow number 6. Let 15 - 20 minutes between coats. Heat is great, no matter the temperature outside. Keep the heat gun about 10 - 12 inches away, move the heat gun around, do not stay in one spot. 8.) Let dry overnight. If you want to get rid of the orange peel, or God forbid, fisheyes/runs, use 1500 - 200 grit WET sand paper, and LIGHTLY sand the runs, or the orange peel. Barely any pressure needed. Keep the sanding on the affected area only. 9.) Once the wet sanding is done, get a very light cut compound, IE Meguiar's Ultimate Compound works GREAT, and grab an orbital buffer, set to 3,000 RPMs, light pressure, go over the entire you just painted the day prior. Apply a polish/glaze on top, slow speeds, large movement, then wax. Again, this is just what I do on my own cars. Just figured I share what I do. The main thing I disliked about the video was the painting technique. Everything else, not bad at all. But painting technique is VERY important.

[@garyharrisonuk]

agree with everything here

[@james1939-s1c]

This is how I learned to paint exactly, I will say how he is doing it is good enough for most, but not stressing about wearing a mask is a huge thumbs down. 2k for sure, but anytime I spray anything I wear a mask. You can get a decent one on amazon or harbor freight for $30.

Idk about this scratch wizard kit, I am amazed the watch how people perform the same results in a multitude of different methods. Really neat to see you genuinely blend the paint and also watching you clear as a final result to match the other end of the bumber is amazing because you have to know your cars paint in order to get that result. I am currently doing some autobody work myself and it is pain staking to get results when you won't settle! Awesome work!

[@CN-kf1me]

Also masking up a square shape then priming over it so it creates a hard edge is absolutely pointless and creating more work for yourself, just spray the primer over the general area without any tape then wet sand it smooth

Just did my front bumper on my mustang today. As all car lovers know, a scratch can make you sooo sad. Had a big gouge and other deep scratchs and I hated driving my car, as it a was meant except for those front end scratchs. Got the kit in January, it just got warm enough to do. Followed the video instructions and it came out great!! The clear coat is shiny, and after 24hrs ill apply a coat of wax. Thanks so much for a great product and great how to video!!👍👍👍👍👍

[@romanmax8561]

I have used just auto paint to touch up scratches but the Finnish look not as Shiny as the rest of the paint does the clear coat help with that .

[@Babbis2274]

+Roman Max yes it does, just clean all the surface and spray about a ten inch radius from where you touched it up, then polish about a 20 inch radius with some meguiars or mothers wax polish, and you can just use a soft cloth to do that and it should look like new

[@timvu3095]

This is a good instructional video for repairing paint scratches on the car bumper. The process of doing repair is correct for the most part but he skipped some steps that could have make it much better. Second, if he did not wear any respirator/nose mask or protective clothing, that is dangerous for his lung. There are a few of mistakes he made that you should avoid if you are going to do it yourselves. One is he sanded too much of the primer exposing the bondo filler, he should redo the primer coat to cover the bondo before painting the base coat. Second, he should sand the primer so that it does not feather like it did when he painted the base coat. Third, he should mask the rest of the bumper where he did not scrub and the entire hood at east 2 feet from the paint area so that the paint overspray will not land on these areas. Last but not least, the painting should be done in a low dust area, preferring inside the garage with plastic liner to prevent dust from settling on the wet paint, ruining the finish.

[@Bikeologist_mtb]

Great results using the kit I ordered. Color match was spot on. But after a year since application, the clear coat has already broken down from UV damage. I’d still recommend the base color but I’d probably use a 2K clear coat instead

[@charlesterwilliams1736]

Absolutely superb presentation. I had been trying to fix a small area on my number for weeks and everytime I would take off the tape I would see the tapeline and then I would try to resolve that----with the original area needing to be fixed getting bigger and bigger. Finally someone stepped in and explained how to avoid the picture frame effect and how to blend or feather the new paint and clear into the old. Great info and I finally learned something

Brilliant video, clear and simple. Also no annoying music. Great job 👏

[@steven-ui7sz]

I read everywhere that you have to clear coat the entire panel. But I see dozens of videos like this where that is not being done. Will this show an edge? Or look bad over time? If there is an edge in the clear coat, can it be buffed out?

[@handduggraverdronline]

Great video. I just learned a trick to prevent the hard edge from the tape. Just roll the edge of tape up and helps prevent having to sand the hard edge out

[@jaygold4467]

I would never use anything but catalyzed two part clear coat on a clear finish. As pointed out below this job isn't finished. Wet sanding and buffing is a must on clear coat.

[@gonzaloalvarezjr5252]

I purchased this "kit" from them and followed the instructions. It looked good for about a month or two. As time went on the clear coat started to fade. Now, a year or so later, it looks worse than it did when I started. I finally took it to a professional paint shop. As they say, "Your results may vary".

[@nordicpride9708]

Gonzalo Alvarez Jr There’s a reason. This kit supplies a 1K clear coat, not the two part 2k automotive grade clear. Next time you would just need to buy the 2k on amazon and as long as your prep work is good, should last a LOOOOONG time.

[@sumocutee6943]

+James Smith well to make it glossy again make sure to apply two layer of clear coat and wait for 30mins or so then spray warm piss on that area to make it same as other paint

[@dnlmachine4287]

+James Smith If you have "fuzzy spots" that means some of the paint went on wet and some went on "dry". Lightly wet sand with 1500, dry thoroughly, and spray clear again. If your clear goes on "wet", it may dry a bit dull depending on the quality and drying environment of the clear. Wet sand with 2000, then 3000, then compound or polish. You can do all those by hand. Practice on a test panel or cardboard to find how close and how fast you need to move the gun/can to get "wet" finish without getting runs or sags. Stay gold

No issue with applying clear over base overspray in the scuffed/not repainted areas?

[@robertboyd321]

Good work mate. But with the masking tape when U taped around the repair before U applied primer you can save a lot of sanding by only sticking the tape down hard on the outside edge furthermost away from the repair. You don't stick the edge of the tape down next to the repair so that this edge of the tape is lifted & curled up a little and it does not leave a defined sharp edge on the primer. You can do it with paint and clear as well and the paint or clear automatically feathers itself out and blends in without a defined sharp edge.

How did you avoid clear coat overspray on the unscuffed area to the left of the 24 inches from the paint area. When spraying the clear coat, once you get to the border of the scuffed and unscuffed area, some of it is bound to land on the unscuffed area and create a haze so how did you go around that?

Awsome job, if i'm not mistaken it's the first time you are scuffing as a first step. 3 qustions if i may: 1.Why do you apply 4 coats? earlier you have said that 3 coats are enough for metalic paint 2.Does blending mean scuffing before buffing out and then applying clear coat over the scuffed area ? 3.What kind of putty do you use, does if contain hardener ?

[@ScratchWizard1]

1. 4 coats were necessary to cover the primer 2. Blending means applying paint so it appears to transition smoothly from old paint to new paint. 3. The putty uses no hardener.

[@crod6431]

When blending the base coat, isn't the new paint going to add a new layer on top of the old clear coat? I tried blending an area on my hood to repair flaking paint but I cannot blend the new paint without spraying on top of the clear coat. The new paint is very noticeable and it comes off easily when buffing. Should I apply the new clear coat on top of the old clear coat to blend?

[@John--John]

That's why he scuffed it 24 inches around the area he was fixing. The new paint needs something to "bite" in to on the surface. You can spray over old clear coat as long as it isn't peeling, if it's peeling you need to sand off the clear to at least the base. If it's not peeling then you need to scuff it to where all of the area you intend to paint is dull and NO shiny spots at all. They use a grey scotch Brite pad for the scuff but alternatively you could use 1k - 1500 grit sandpaper. The area you need to fix, use about 4 - 600 grit sandpaper to take that clear coat off, if it's a metallic you're using, you might want to sand over the problem area with 1k sandpaper to lighten 600 grit sanding marks (metallics have the tendency to allow heavy sanding marks show thru) mask off and spray the area you need to with base coat, let that dry, remove the tape and spray clear over the entire area you scuffed up.

reading the comments here is quite disheartening. I plan on doing this (almost no experience with paint, limited automotive experience) on a 14-year-old car that has been dinged, scuffed and scratched pretty much everywhere in small patches. The quote I got from an indy was between $800 to $1000 and the car itself is worth maybe 5k all together. So for all the experts here that found the numerous faults, how would you do this differently, because It makes no sense to me to pay 20% of the car's cost to repair the paint.

[@sokasodjunk]

Do not listen to everybody. You know it, if you take your care to professionals they will do the same but ask you to give them your house. It is an excellent help and satisfactory if you have a car worth less than $8-10000. They think that the richest people in the world are watching youtube to repair their cars? Damn idiots.

Also, how do I know I got the color right before applying the clear coat? Just visually does it match?

[@DB64LifeEntertainment]

Question, were you not worried the sand paper would affect the other layer of the paint?

[@DRHORSELEACH]

Is there any reason this wouldn't work on different types of damage other than scratches? Assuming it's bondo'ed and sanded down, could the same effect be made? I have a P71 Crown Vic with a very poorly repaired equipment hole, and some other minor spots, like a crack in the plastic on the bumper (goes all the way through). I'm a complete noob when it comes to cars, btw.

Really good explanation! Can somebody tell me just how is called the red paste he applied? Thanks.

[@bap7100]

Spot putty / glazing putty it's called

@@bap7100 Thanks.

how do you get rid of paint lines from the tape when you masked it off

[@Slayer-33]

Awesome work bro. Question, is it more difficult to do this on a lighter color vehicle? Alabaster silver metallic for example? My Acura TLS's front right fender has a scratch, I'd love to cover it up like this.

[@ScratchWizard1]

Slayer-33 lighter colors are more difficult. you just need to blend the new paint a bit further in every direction so there's no 'abrupt' transition from old paint to new paint.

[@Slayer-33]

Thanks bro

[@sidebarr7]

Slayer-33 silver is the hardest to match. So many different shades

[@bishalkarki9873]

for the car painting you can use the corbandy car sprayer crusher and for the further information you can google for spray paint car scratches

[@pregamemaster]

Can I use the same ScratchWizard paint kit for body scratches?

[@MrAllan9]

You still have to buff out the overspray to get that never been painted look.

[@philipstran1046]

Where can I buy those materials like you just done for you car. Thank you
