With chipping you'd need to extend the affected area around it by a few mm to catch any rust particles that have crept beyond the skirt of the dent. A bit more hassle but it won't bubble the paint later.
Thank you - this is the first touch up video I've seen that makes perfect sense for my also older car. I have several chip and the minor cost of a Dremel and a couple of points is a great investment in keeping my car from the rust yard. Great videography!
I spent this afternoon doing all the stone chips on my SUV - we live out in the country. Nothing this effective and brilliant should be this easy! Great results, though I did use primer thinned 50/50 as the base coat. Not perfect, but darned good. Thanks!@@TriadoCustomEngraving
I borrowed your Dremel idea, it works fantastically. But the job is not finished after applying the paint. I added a thicker layer of paint to be "taller" than the original one, sanded it with 800 grid sand paper to match the line wanted to have, then wet sanded a little in the surroundings with 3000 and 5000 paper, then applied polishing paste. It's 98% gone, nobody sees it unless I tell them where I worked
Hey Radu, thanks for sharing! You are right it’s not completely flush so it definitely needs a lot more work after the Dremel. I personally don’t really care about making it look perfect as long as rust spot was taken care of. It’s been about 3 years and it’s still looking good without any issues! Glad that this worked for you as well.
Thanks for this comment! I'm a perfectionist and am researching before I do a couple spots on my Jeep. Question for you since it seems like you know what you're talking about... should I use clear coat after sanding down the area or is the polishing paste enough?
So you applied the paint in a thicker layer and sanded the area to be somehow equal? Yes, you need to apply clear coat here. After applying the clear coat you sand it down also with very fine sanding paper and low pressure (I use 800, then 2000 and then 3000), and only after this I apply the polishing paste
Thank you for recommending the Dremel 462 and 463 Rubber Polishing Points (both working diameter 6,4 mm), they do seem safer to use than stone polishing points.
Yes those work great for polishing and can be used for other things as well! I don’t think that I’ve seen anyone use that for this purpose before…haha but I think that it’s an excellent tool!
Hey that’s crazy that they are out of stock! I found some at Dunn Lumber website, says in stock. You can also go on Amazon and buy something similar, there are plenty knockoff rubber bits on there.
I haven’t had any problems with it. It’s not perfect to where you can’t tell where the repair happened but it surely stopped rusting which was my main goal.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving worked insanely well and my paint touch up kit has an amazing colour match. Need to build the paint up a little more but apart from that, it's great. Thanks for making this video and pushing me to do this job myself 👍
Hey Angelo, I don’t think that I had the paint chip there for 10 years, maybe a few years. My car on the other hand was 10 years at that time…12 years old now haha. Repair still holds to this day.
Hey Dozy, thank you for your question. I just looked it up and looks like you do need to add some primer to get the best results. Although in this video I did not use primer, it still turned out fine. So it will be personal preference.
Hello Julio, I did not apply any primer and a year later that spot is still good to go. I’d say if I had a larger area to work with I would definitely put primer on. This is my personal preference so do some research online before painting your car.
Hey Jim, I had this question asked before and after doing some research it is recommended that you do. I did not use it and it still came out looking good without any issues.
I was actually going to make an update video since I have another spot that I have to do. All depends on the paint that you use if you need primer or not. Some suggest to use it and some don’t say. I applied my paint without primer and it’s holding on just fine. As far as my Dremel I’ve had my Dremel for a while but you can pick one up for around $80. Any rotary tool should work though.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving I am about to do exactly what you did in the video, but I want to use a primer. Do you think I can use any general primer for metals or do you know about any special kinds of primers for car use?
@@bubanek I just did a quick search on google and looks like they do make automotive touch up primer. I wouldn’t buy a huge spray can of primer if it’s for a small chip.
I did this about 3 years ago and don’t have any issues with that spot. Others recommended using primer then touch up paint but it’s whatever your preference may be.
Haven’t tried doing that. I honestly didn’t care either way, once it dried it was very close to the original color. I’m sure over 11 years the original color could have faded as well.
Haha yeah it’s been like 3 years now. I was thinking about doing a follow up I got more rust spots that I can do, all I need is time! We will see maybe in the near future.
Thank you guys for watching!
that close up when you do the dremel-ing part is super helpful, best video I've seen
Thank you very much!

Nice, yeah I haven’t had any issues since I did the job.
What's the best way to do that without powertools? I have some 1500/2000/2500 sandpaper and stanley knife, not sure if that would work.
@@samuelhayden5209 pencil eraser with sandpaper on it might work well

Thank you for watching! Yes for a daily driver it’s a good fix, it’s definitely not perfect but it will stop the paint from rusting any further.

@@coldlakealta4043That’s awesome! Glad that it worked for you.
Had no idea there was such a thing as rubber burs. Makes all the difference. Thanks!
Definitely!
Good stuff...Appreciate the chill approach. I'll be trying this. Thanks.
Thanks Marlin! The only thing I’d recommend and I haven’t mentioned it in the video, is using some primer prior to using touch up paint.
Awesome video bro!! Very creative!!!
Thank you brother!
Did you go straight from dremel-ing the area to applying the paint or did you use rubbing alcohol before the paint?
I did yes, alcohol wipe would probably help with paint prep.

I added a thicker layer of paint to be "taller" than the original one, sanded it with 800 grid sand paper to match the line wanted to have, then wet sanded a little in the surroundings with 3000 and 5000 paper, then applied polishing paste.

@@raduszilagyi6055 Thank for the quick reply! I haven't done it yet, working up the nerve and getting the steps down first.
Great tutorial! One question, what rotation speed should the Dremel be set to when doing this?
Thank you! 25,000 rpm would be sufficient speed.
@@TriadoCustomEngraving Thank you for the quick reply! Will do this tomorrow :)
@@Husramash Awesome! Let me know how it goes.

touch paint doesn't need any 'touch up primer' for bare metal surfaces?

@@TriadoCustomEngraving You should use etch primer. Beed doing it for years
@@mreightytwenty8709 Awesome, thanks for the tip!

Hey I tried using wax carvers. Like scraper hooks. Looks like it’s for dentist. It works perfectly for chips
Nice, thanks for the tip!
Awesome video Max....safety first! lol
Thanks Bob! Gotta keep those kids informed so they don’t poke their eye out 😂
But how about rust protection? I was told that it is not good to apply paint on clear metal.
I did this about 3 years ago and don’t have any issues with that spot. Others recommended using primer then touch up paint but it’s whatever your preference may be.
haha safety first! thats something I would do, popping in like that. at first I thought you were going to do a cool engraving on the car hood.
Haha! Trying to at least make it a safe “send it” moment lol
Did the rust come back?
Nope, held up well
Use a Q tip to apply the paint works much better from my experience
Very nice, thanks!
Great job man
Thanks Geoffroy!
Freakin classic. Safety first shipmate! 😂
Haha thanks bro!
So…….. what about polishing that spot after it dries to blend?
You can do that if you want, it’s a commuter car so I don’t bother.
what sandpaper grit should i use ? i don’t have that tool
Hello Stephan, I’m not sure what the polishing bit is equivalent to, maybe a 220 grit but I’m not certain. You don’t have any rotary tools whatsoever?
What a strange feel, to hear your adult voice after so many years )) Мужик !!
Хаха, спасибо Андрей! Да время летит...но я все помню как мы играли во дворе 😃
Good tip! Thanks!
Glad that you found it helpful, thanks for watching!
Why doesn't the color match the original, even if it's by number? Because it's way way too dense. If we dilute it, even 50%, it will catch much better
Haven’t tried doing that. I honestly didn’t care either way, once it dried it was very close to the original color. I’m sure over 11 years the original color could have faded as well.
A follow up video would be cool 2 years later
Haha yeah it’s been like 3 years now. I was thinking about doing a follow up I got more rust spots that I can do, all I need is time! We will see maybe in the near future.
