How to fix rock chips in your paint using Dupli-Color Scratch Fix All-in-1 applicator 

I've seen "" professionals"" not even close to your results a little more practice and you can make your own chip repair business 👍👍👍

the craziest thing is that he was able to do this while grilling bacon.

tip: cut a red rubber eraser in half long way (the kind you used in elementary school) and use that as a pinpoint sanding block to wrap paper around for your wet sanding. Great control, and levels nicely, all while keeping the size of the scuffed paint to a minimum. And you should really go no lower than 1500 grit for the initial sanding, as you want to limit damage to surrounding clear coat.

I'm going to try a similar approach but I think I'm going to put masking tape around the chipped area so I don't sand anything I don't need to sand. Thanks for posting!

Ive found if you can carefully lay a bubble of paint into the chip , and leave it with a little bit of a round head above the painted surface( not enough to run but just a little higher than the original paint. It dries almost perfectly level if not just a little under so as you have room to add clear if you want. Saves you alot of sanding and buffing

Good job man. Don't let the douchebags and their useless comments discourage you. I applaud your humility. Keep up the good work!

By far the best video out there with the best results! Thank you!

your end result looked great ...and no DA polisher...outstanding

I don’t think you needed to put the gloss on the areas away from the rock chip. Using a DA and Meguiar’s M105 and a polishing compound it would fix the dull part you see in sanding. You could also put the sandpaper on the tip of the eraser of a number 2 pencil and sand that way.

Sand the edges smother before starting, apply paint but build to a top. Sand with sponge, never with fingers, you’re distributing pressure wrong that way. Don’t overdo clearcoat, it should be thick enough around the repair area even after sanding. Less is more when using brush.

Thanks for you're hard works

You can also go to your local NAPA Auto Parts depending on the store that will provide assistance with making paint as long as you have the paint code and also the shade of the actual pain to self or the vehicle to be able to match at 100%

Thanks for this. Would this be the same procedure (except for the CLR) for scratches on plastic parts?

Jeff...Is your cam lens foggy around the edges or are you just dreamy?😁

Not too bad for the first time. White is a paint in the ass to blend! I do these types of rock chip fills all the time in my detail shop. The most important finishing step that you missed was using a buffer. The other suggestion is when applying the paint (or clear) dry each coat with a hair dryer or heat gun. Also, when applying the clear be sure to apply the first coat and let it dry, then apply it as a glob and let it set overnight. Then wet sand then clear down even with the put around the chip. If you run into pit marks you'll have to apply another coat, let it dry and sand. Another trick of the trade is to cut pieces of sand paper with a hole punch and glue them into the unused end of an eraser and/or use a thin foam sand paper backer.

Very comprehensive video. Thanks a lot for the hard work bro....this helps

Great video

A high speed wool pad buffer would make it look perfect

What about paint chips that expose bare metal? What do you use for primer?

Sand, spray paint, clear coat, buff. Done.

The color brush application was actually pretty good. Def just leave it there

I just bought the Dupli-Color brand cause with my OEM it was the exact same package with the Mopar labeling, so I think Chrysler uses this (for touch-up) and slaps their label on it and jacks the price a bit.

Good job, but I would try not to add clear coat to such a large area. Sweet project cars has some great videos on this subject and he shows how it is much easier to mix your color and clear to make a single stage paint to make the job much quicker and simpler with great results.

I suspect you are suppose to shake that paint really well before use and pre sand the inner sharpe edges of the original paint before applying the new paint. Alot of people use the small applicator tip to add paint to the cavity on a horizonal surface rather than the brush

looks good next time put wax around the spot then use rubbing alcohol just on the spot that way if you do get it where you don't want it you can wipe it off when it drys

Well….. I think you made yourself far more work than was really necessary. So long as your happy with the results, thats all that matters

The problem is ALL car manufacturers DO NOT apply enough paint on the automobiles anymore. They are doing it as cheaply as possible with robots now and the bottom line is they just aren't applying enough coats of paint. They should be applying at least two coats of primer, three coats of paint, and two coats of clear coat but instead it's one of each and put on thinly. Really SAD! I remember the old vehicles and they had plenty of paint of them. My mom had a 67 Ford Mustang and it NEVER had any rock chips on the hood. The nice thing is it had a chrome bumper and metal grill. NO PLASTIC parts on the front of that car!

great result. silver hard colour to do. I made a mess of my car trying this.

My only question is why didn’t you wet sand the touch up paint before applying the clear coat?! You could have made it look so much better! I feel like you need to sand the paint and then the clear coat in two seperate steps

Superb

Shouldn’t the paint all be same level? The touch up was a lot lower

Everything looked good except you shouldn't use circles on paint ever

No primer ? will that bond to the metal ok ???

Also next time tape off a small area before sanding but good job

Would have rather seen you use the included brush to see how well it does. One spot with a good brush, and one with the included brush.

I messed up when i wet sanded it stained the sorrounding area ? Any suggestions ?

Use a buffing machine works A lot better

I honestly found this video a bit frustrating. To start, it doesn't hurt if you remove more paint around the chipped area. In fact, it's good to be sure there isn't any rust that may be under the edge of the paint. Second, you don't need to apply the paint in light layers repeatedly. One coat that is raised above the undamaged paint surface will suffice. Once the paint is completely dry then you wet sand the area. This will knock down the raised bump of fresh paint down to the old paints level creating a flush and smooth surface. Regarding the clear coat. The only area that may need any new clear coat is the part you repaired. The milky, dull area that was sanded only needs to have some rubbing compound added and then buffed out. Before ever adding clear coat if you would use the rubbing compound first, you might not even be able to tell where the repair was...without ever adding the clear coat. Adding a new layer of clear is fine if the repair area was larger though. But even then, you would need to wet sand after the clear dried, and then buff with a rubbing compound.

No primer???

Yeah from a distance you can't see it but up close it's kind of off.

Appreciate you bro but damn I can hear the disappointment in your voice 😂🤦‍♂️

🙈

Too aggressive sanding :D

Thanks for the titorial, but thats a lot of work and time for a couple chips. Need something quicker and easier for those who dont have the time or know-how

Ford, Honda? Uhh no. Chevy😂

Used not enough paint and way toooo much gloss. WTH?

'' I've seen many repairs and this is the worst''😁

that pen is a shit design, I had paint all over because just like you I oepend it the wrong way

Noooooooooooooooooo…………………………………………

Hell no 😩😩😩

10:05 Dog painting

I wish youtube dislikes were still enabled. Wasted my time to see a shit result.

Clean your camera lens. The white tint the entire video has looks unprofessional.

CRINGE Nope. Just nope.

Too long video, no good resuts...
