How To Do An Effective Smart Repair Part 2

[@johnsherry2289]

I watched at least 10 videos about spot repair, refinish. This is by FAR the best and most complete video with no wasted time on 'small talk'. Excellent 2 part series. Thank you Tony!

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Wow, thanks mate and glad its helped

[@rcarioca]

@@TonysRefinishingTV yep.. looking at other videos I always ended up with some questions and doubts. This one is the best.

[@TheOldPCTech]

Great couple of videos ! I haven't done any painting in more than 30 years, but this has inspired me to pick up my gun and tackle a couple of little dings to my son's truck, and daughter in law's car.

No wonder the view count shot up so quickly, just came across part1/2 and the best videos I've seen on this subject. Subbed 👍

[@mattslater2165]

By far the best, easiest to understand how-to video on blending clear. I usually paint entire panels but I've got a smart repair to do on a Peugeot 206 cc next week and I was a bit worried about the blending part of the job. Not any more!!!!!

Thank you very much Tony. I've been watching many videos online on paint blending, and can categorically say that, yours is straight forward, more clinical and finally, simply the best for you've really taught me what I needed to know with blending the new to the old. Once again, I thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.. I'm gonna get the heat lamp.

[@ukstuartpatterson]

Great content. For years I've done repairs using rattle cans. I do have a can of fade out but never used it.... I'll use it now :) I'm on the cusp of buying spray gear to get a better finish - I think I get about 80% of what a pro can do. Interesting that you flat off into old clearcoat and then mask off. My bodge way was to keep repair small and then prep in the same way - but base/colour coat I would spray out and have dry edges (not using masking) and then hit that with worn out 2000 grit to remove the rough surface and feather the edges of the base towards the prepped clear area. Then I'd stick clear coat on...again not using fade out - I'd feather the clear coat into old clear coat. Overspray I'd keep down by masking off adjacent areas. To get the finish I'd use 2000 or 3000 grit by hand (I don't have a DA) and then blend it all together with G3 and G10 and final autoglym. Everyone probably thinking "oooohhhhh ouch ooohhh noooooo" it's all self taught and learned by mistake. It's only this last month I've started looking online for tips. So thank you :)

Great information. As far as what I would like too see is the trim removal for paint prep removal and instalation of trim door sill guards. The plastic guards being removed from say the top of an SUV. Window felt and window sweeps weather stripping all the little things you need to remove and reinstall on a car new and old before you paint and then when putting it all back together. It may take a while to compile several cars on one video or two but it would be the most desired thing I would want to see

[@idris0786]

Tony great job. A question on the first video you said you would take the tape off once your spraying lacquer. You sprayed the clear with the tape on then you took it off, which is fine but I didn’t notice you cleaning the surface were you took the tape off as I would of been concern about the sticky residue left on there. Then realized you went straight over it with the clear. Amazing...but is this correct.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

ive just had to re watch this to answer this lol, so ive taken the outside tape off that we blended the clear up to and then added the fade out thinner over the area the first tape came off from, unless youve had the tape on for a very long time and or its got cold and damp then proper masking tape wont leave any residue on the panel buddy, hope this helps

I've watched this video many times and never really caught that neat Sealey 3" polisher there. The same very tool is also available as an excenter-sander with 2.5mm hub, which is what i'm using for a while now -it's awesome! So i just checked the internet for the polisher now and found it for £32 incl. shipping. Bargain alert, bought one right away!! I hope it's as good as the excenter version. THANKS :)

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

+Chuck Thomas lol it's a good little polisher mate bit loud but does the job great for the money I've had mine a year or two now and works a treat still

[@chuckthomas1913]

Mine arrived some days ago and turning it with that little wrench on the collet, i noticed that on a full turn it had some very rough spots. I took it apart and found the planet gears totally dry. I added some thick bicycle chain lube to the gears and it runs great now, but caution: excess oil blows out from the collet on first use! All the internal components show surprisingly good machining and overall quality, they don't give the impression of the usual cheap chinaware (except for the chinese bearings of course), so i guess the tool will last me a long time! An important note from the manual that i'd like to leave here: "4.3. Press trigger to start the polisher, release trigger to stop" There you go :)

[@Shane1112]

That seems like a pretty big area to sand, fill, paint etc, for what was such a small dent, is it really necessary to take it to such a large area. I have a small paint chip on my fender, (about 1cm square) where only the clear coat has been damaged, there is no metal showing through and I want to repair it, do I need to take it to such a large area and do I need to fill it (or jsut sand it down to level) and then add a few coats of colour match paint and then spray on a top coat?

[@richardlongmore9301]

Great job fella. So interesting. Im having to refresh myself on this for a new job Im starting. Thank you so much. I have a question about fadeout thinners. And another way I have seen it used if you sprayed the fadeout area to soften the old paint first then started to do your lacquer only bringing your second Cote up to your pre softened fade out area. Would it melt the new and old paint better rather than just spraying fade out over your finished blend to melt the blend edge on just the outside? . My problem is the paint I’m blending onto is a bit old and oxidized and I’m worried that when I start polishing It might start tearing back. Has happened to me before even when I have keyed it with 1500. Or dose the lacquer freak out if you spray it on top of a area that has been softened with fade out. Thanks again

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Personally mate I wouldn’t be doing it that way round mate by spraying it first kinda like a disaster waiting to happen tbh

Hi thanks for the video great skills. Question, What is fade out thinners? Is it a special product or just clear coat mixed with more thinners? I plan on trying this sort of job on a metallic blue with a 2k clear on top. When doing small repairs I usually just cover the whole panel with base and then clear the whole bumper but id like to learn this technique to minimize repair area.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

its a special thinners that helps to melt old paint to new to help prevent clearcoat blends from being visable

Great learning video, would you use the same process for a fender with buffer burn in the paint?

It depends how far the burn goes it would have to be bloody good to need repainting , but tbh this is a blow in style / smart repair that I don’t often do , this was made just to show how it can be done I personally prefer to reclear a Panel for a nicer final lasting result
