How To Touch In Stone Chips Correctly, The best results for rock chip repair! 

Yes mate this works well also 👍

Cheers

In this particular method (there are many) i just used solvent basecoat in the chips. In this method the polishing was done before. The touched in chip is the final finish

So can you mix a bit of base and clear ( making a single stage) to fill in the craters then also polish after too?

Haha thanks pal

I didnt do anything after the touch in was done. This method is slightly different to others

Hi Brian its always a must to invest in a half decent water trap for this exact reason. Pipe it up in between your compressor and end of airline and ur good

@@cvrpov thanks so much for replying back you have been such a great help to me thank you

No worries Brian. Thanks for watching my videos

Just colour coat mate. Adding primer etc is adding too may stages. Sometimes its good to add lacquer to the basecoat

Leave 12 hours ideally

Haha sorry mate. I have content, its just editing etc ive been busy with the Paint Gear site

@@cvrpov cheers

Easier to hide chip marks on white then metallic silver indeed.

Polish the blend area. Wet sanding is to remove imperfections

I just use my own paint mate and an empty pen. Any paint can go in

Hi bud I've dont a part video on this but still adding bits to the van so there will be a vid down the line

Silver is a tricky colour I will be tackling in the future

@@cvrpov exactly and because RU-vid has one old video it'll be great if you're the only person showing it right 👍 😁 I can't wait

Can you put me on the pre order list for the paint gear touch up kit in black please.

Hi Will. Thanks for watching. Touch up kits are in the pipeline and yes you will be the 1st to recieve one. Martin @ CVR POV

It depends how bad the run/drip is. A big mistake people make is not using a low enough grit and end up rounding it off rather than flatting it. If its a very bad drip I've been known to use 600 grit, 1000/1200/1500/2000 then polish. Most runs if they are not too bad I can usually knock down and skip the 600 and 1000. If you burn through the lacquer then you will need to key up the area and apply more base and clear again. Ie repeat the repair process again. Make sure all paints are dried thoroughly before flatting and any re attempts at refinishing.

Thanks for the sub 👊🏻

Ok sorry 😬

Thanks. Im not sure of the song name though sorry

Yes. This finish is good enough. People seem to play about with it after touch up to make it right when I think preparation at the start is more important

@@cvrpov great stuff did you use clearcoat too or just polished in 😉

we are working on it

He said it's an empty pen, that fine tip is the key. You don't need a pen, you can use a needle or even those fine dental picks. Just put a dab of paint on the tip and let it flow into the chip. I think even a toothpick would work but those wear out too quickly.

This will add durability yes

Hi mate, I may do a video in the near future explaining why touch ups wont work or give the perfect results people crave. Its a very colour dependant process and one method may not suite all paint colours and types. Your best bet is to make sure the chips are nice and clean and smooth (like in the vid), then the best method is to mix up some colour that is as close as possible using a base white with tiny amount's of black and a mustardy colour to change the colour slightly. Anyone with a solvent paint scheme can do this. I have touched in literally thousands of cars and tried everything and every method. This method works the best on pearl whites and 3 stage colours. It wont be perfect, but neither will anything else!

Thanks for the response! Maybe I'll just save up some money and get my bonnet fully repainted by a professional... :D

That's another method. There are many

I managed find an exactly the same white VW Golf and swapped them. U bust me

@@cvrpov Did you really? 😁

I done this as well but a bit different and it looks like it’s repainted even in the car shop they don’t see anything…

😂😂👊🏽​@@cvrpov
