I've been watching chip repairs videos the whole day, trying to understand and compare techniques......everyone, absolutely everyone else uses sanding with 1500, 3000, 5000 grit so seeing how this guy repaired all those without doing any prep just getting to business makes him really the winner of simplicity!! I just ordered all kind of items at amazon to tackle some bumper repairs but now I'm having 2nd thoughts!!
exactly that file tool is the key and what I was searching for years. without this tool it is almost impossible to reach the same result. i already did that in the past with like 5000grid sand paper but it is not working, you uselessly remove clearcoat in the surroundings of the spot....whereas with this metal tool and with the correct technique of holding it on properly on the surface of the car, and work it on the paint chip very gently, i can see this work to actually be in my reach. 1 point I wonder however is why car manufacturers are selling color and clearcoat in 2 different bottles. I mean they sell this for end customers right ? not for car body professionals... how is the average car guy actually supposed to do this kind of work properly at home with tthis little paint brushes, like if you are..painting something. its almost certain that this will end up in a mess. its like asking for trouble lol I bought a lot of this "touch up kits" but never went to the clear coat step... always felt like this second step would do more mess than anything else...
Thanks for being so OCD, in the name of every OCD person ever. That's not only skill and love for what you do, but devotion and a little sickness (the good kind! 🤪)
You can come to England and repair mine. Just took it to a paint chip place and they said they would have to take the whole hood off and repaint it. The damage is no worse than the ones in this video
Hvala još jednom za priču od Mirka turpijici, stigla nedavno I radio sam s njim na raznim bojama i stvarno je must have alat kako za lakirera tako i za detailera. Doduše, ovo što miješas bazu sa lakom i hardnerom ti je suvišno malo, dosta ti je samo stavit hardener u bazu
Hvala ti a nije vjeruj probao sam ok bude ali postoji mogucnost prilikom brusenja da se "iscupa" boja iz parnice. Sad sam uzeo UV lak i UV lampu susenje od 3 do 5 min i bice video uskoro i o tome. Dosta brze,bolje i efikasnije se radi
Cao. Uzeo sam bazu (bez laka), lak i hardener posebno. U kojoj razmeri da pomesam bazu i lak? Lak i hardener se mesaju 2:1. 2:2:1 (baza:lak:hardener) mozda?
Mozes li mi reci kako se zove spric kojim nabacujes boju? Ovih dana razmisljam kako da sredim rupice na haubi i slucajno vidoh ovaj kanal. Mirka turpija se moze kupiti u Srbiji i vec sam nasao... Hvala unapred!
Amazing job !! I appreciate your thorough explanation on how to repair stone chips! I look forward to repairing the chips on my SUV, thanks to your video!
Out of general curiosity. Did you end up doing your stone chips? And if you had to do them again tomorrow. Would you still be excited? Heh. I remember first time I did it, I was pumped. 6 hours later I was no longer excited to do rock chips lol. Ever. 😂
I’ve ordered one of those mini files. Expensive for what it is, but it looks like it does the job you need it to very well. I have a silver car with many stone chips on the bonnet, so hoping the chip repair will improve matters enormously! Thanks for the great advice!
I also have a silver car and I can confirm that this method does not work for silver color. In general this method is applicable to colors that are not metallic, and that does not have sparkly particles in them. Normal "simple" colors such as red, black, white (especially) are the best colors to apply this method. If you do not have much marks it is better to use just dr.colorchip and be fine with the result. If it is much just save up your money and pain the whole hood instead of spending 40 eur for this scraper, then anther 20 eur for touch up paint and other details. I did same mistake and ended up painting the whole hood. If I had my knowledge right now I wouldnt even try to do this method and keep my money. In general video is very helpful and well made tho.
Hi, I used about same method in the past filling paint than a bit clear coat on top than wet sanding and than polishing and the bonnet looks like new painted so I know this method works!!! your method is less heavy on the paint, but you don't use clearcoat but hardener, can I also just make the mix of basecoat and clearcoat? or should it really be acrylic and harder? the degree of gloss then very much depends on the mix. I have already watched many other scratch repairs and videos from your channel but could not find the answer here.
When I ask for 2-component paint "for stone chips", my carpaint shop always mixes some lacquer to the base paint. So I get one can of paint (with lacquer) and another of hardener. Unofortunately I don't know the paint-lacquer ratio. 2:1 or 3:1 perhaps.
Great video Definitely has given me the courage to do the stone chips in my suv What compound did u use for final polishing ? Thank you keep the videos coming
@@Amddetailing absolutely love your Channel. And please if you don't mind please tell me where you got the little sander I really can use something like that
I have seen other videos done by a gentleman in the UK, I believe. He stresses solvent based paint. Is that the same as acrylic? Also, where does one buy the product you used in this video?
Is the clear coat being mixed in with paint common with most German vehicles? I have a Lapiz blue 2018 Golf R with some stone chips and am curious if I could follow these steps for a similar result. Great video!
Top work and keep it up. I have a question. If I order black metallic paint with pearl effect, the clear hardener is included separately and not incorporated into the paint. Could it also work as below or is the loose blank separately a problem for sanding. 1. fill stone chips with black paint 2. White hardener on black paint 3. Allow to dry for 24 hours 4. sand with mirca
Kako rijesiti ako je rupa dublja i doslo je do metala, jer je u mene na autu vidljivo da je doslo do metala koji je poceo da hrdja. Btw odlicni videi, samo nastavi, radis brutalan posao.
Thanks for this video. The tool works great on your car! I bought one today but I found that the edges of it keep scratching my paintwork even when holding it really lightly, do you have any tips to avoid this? Thanks!
A hard sanding block with a 2000 or 3000 grit would give you the least damage to you paintwork, if you have already messed it up just polish it with some cutting compund with some elbow grease it should be there
@@amritbanerjee thanks, that is what I ended up doing, the scratches are much lighter but still slightly visible. I might wet sand it when I have time but just a bit hesitant about going completely through the clear
Great job! Where can I get a sanding block that you're using? I live in the states and have a nice patina on the 50 yr old paint I'm fixing chips on. The car has not seen sun for over 34 years being inside a building so the paint is in fairly decent condition but having shop rash (scrapes) to correct. Thank you
Amazing work.. Where do you get your paint from? That's been the headache for me is where to source good quality paint that you don't have to be a repair shop to purchase!
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. My case it is a bit different. Instead of rock chips I have clear coat damage for splattered bugs guts. It is a 2010 Lexus with 56k miles.. The paint is coming very nice with the paint correction I have done but the damage is an eye soar. Do you have a technique for that kind of damage???
Greate technique best RU-vid, why does we need acrylic paint and just hardener (and what is the % amount between two?) and not CC and paint. What you think your technique in the time will last. Greetings from Greece
if this vehicle had a clear coat on to of the base coat, you would apply the clear before polishing ? or is the a other procedure ? thank you , amazing content ......... great video
very good work, informative video, now I want to add touch ups to my list of detailing services, where are the best places in USA to get the right paint?
@@Amddetailing yeah for sure . I bought an orbital polisher with variable speed and been watching a lot of videos about claying and waxing etc but after washing the car I noticed some chips all over and when I saw thus video it looks the same
What would you recommend if a rock chip is only as deep as the clear coat but your base coat still intact? Would you fill it in with base coat touch up still?
Can you use this same method on small chips that are deep enough to create a tiny rust spot? How would you adjust the procedure to fix the rust? I assume you cant just paint over it...
Very good video. This process is impressive. I have the original red metal paint kit from Audi. With this kind of paint is it also worse mixing paint and clear varnish ?
Okay 2 questions: 1/ What to do if the chipped spot is already rusting/theres a bubble of paint from gravel impact and it is rusting udner it. 2/ What to do when the color is not flat, but it is instead a metalic color ?
Nice job 👌. So I have a bmw sapphire black metallic. I ordered the right color from a dealer and also got the clear coat. How will I proceed with this. Or is it better to find acrylic paint like you used?
Is this something most repair shops can do? I keep reading about how difficult it is and how it will never look right, but I find it hard to believe that a competent auto body shop can't fix a small chip. My car just had a rock hit the door and I want it fixed as it's only six months old. Honestly, even if it's 90-95% better I would be happy. I just know from experience that touch up pens are terrible and it's difficult to make them uniform and flat.
What grid of the compound and what pad did you use to polish the hood after sanding? Have you gone with heavier grit to remove the sand marks and then lighter grit to remove swirls and holographics? Thanks in advance. Cheers.
