Geezer, you say it doesn't look perfect, but you've made it look a million times better, and close up I can't see a single chip. Great work. I will give this a go on my very stone chipped Audi S3. Thanks a lot for the great video.
I've been repairing road rash similar to this for 25 years, for the car dealerships, They can't send them to the body shop and spend thousands of dollars, but I can give them a decent repair and the customers are happy.
This is amazing. When I saw it first i thought oh he didnt just do that. Then i seen the car and was like hes either going to make a decent job of this or this is going to go so so wrong. First class job and costs pennys compared to full respray. Fair play mate. Job very well done. Massive difference.
This man is a true master! I have done that to my car today and it looks like it was painted new. No visible road rash any longer. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!
Nice job. How long does this tend to last without a clear coat? Is it something you need to repeat over time or is it a durable fix? Is it susceptible to damage when hand washing or jet washing?
Thank you for the content. What prep work do you do before you apply the paint? Do you clean with De waxer or ISO or Rust remover? I assume you rely of the gloss finish to make the removal of the applied paint easier?
Looks really good and straightforward. Are you not worried that the base coat you are using will cause a reaction due to the incompatibility of materials? Kind regards Paul
I've also learned if it's a Metallic color, to mix up some non metallic color as close as You can for covering the road rash, then go over it again and touch up the larger chips with the proper paint color.
Excellent result, have you tried wet sanding with 3000 grit before polishing the paint to reduce the clogging of the pad? Or is slower with the extra step?
What is being used to thin down the paint ? I want to attempt this technique to a white Chevrolet corvette. Arctic white to be exact . I can get my hands on the matched paint but not sure what to use to thin down the paint mix . Thank you
Would this and the wet and dry method u have used in other video get the car to that deep gloss finish? Do u use any special products to wash car after? Do u have tips how to get that ' duck back' water roll off Thanks
Clarification question please!! Was the initial paint used "matched" and purchased specifically with this car's paint code or was it just something close?? Thank you in advance for your answer.
I Watch already a number of video’s from you but I have these small stone chips on the hood (you can barely feel them but they are white on the black paint) can you do this method as well on the hood? I know the method for the big stone chips but to use same method for the small ones is difficult…
Hi, I have a question, is the color you put on the car the color itself without the clear coat? I want to repair my car, so I need some advice.. Thank you for your reply Michal Prague
Well I figured out what I been doing wrong... my solvent 1k urethane basecoat isn't drying as fast as your paint. I let it dry half a sunny day and then it buffs off flawless... wow 😂
@@CharliesMaidenCovers it should last quite a long time, remember it's only the little defects on the paints surface that are actually holding any of the new paint. I've tried this method on my old car and it lasted a good 18 months before any of the old road rash began to show through again.
@@loojishtc9899 when i bought my car, there were some reparis like that, only base coat applied by brush and after few months pressure washer took it off
Compound has bigger cutting "solids" in the paste. It will feel slighty gritty between the fingers. A polishing compound less so and less cut brings up the mirror shine more. For sake of ease (and making this reply short) Meguiars Ultimate COMPOUND followed by Ultimate POLISH. But to be honest there are many good compounds that start aggressively and then break down during the process to refine the polish so you can it with with just one compound. Sonax, Menzerna even TurtleWax have offerings. Google is your friend.
great content, but I wish you wouldn't edit the video to cut short the buffing process. I want to see how long it takes in reality. Watching you work away at it and then suddenly switching to wiping down with a micro fibre cloth leaves me wondering how much was cut. It's not boring, it's really useful.
@@cvrpov ah, that is informative as it tells me you buff for far longer than it appears. Which is why I don't get the results you get. If you can't show it all, can you say or put text on screen to tell how long it takes?
If there is even one person who tried it and worked, you can pierce my nose with a needle. If you apply too little paint, it will come off after the polishing; if you apply more paint to fill the chips then removing the excess paint is a mathafucka; dont try it with a drill. Just let the next owner deal with it...

So just using base coat, no clear or other additives and then compound and polish and call it a day?

It could possibly save people alot of money 👍🏻

My VW Amarok has plenty of this rash from 1000’s of km’s on Aussie dirt roads, I’m definitely going to give the old girl some love and try this
It can work wonders 👍🏻
Nice job. How long does this tend to last without a clear coat? Is it something you need to repeat over time or is it a durable fix? Is it susceptible to damage when hand washing or jet washing?
Thanks!!!! This is awesome!! I knew there were better ways to deal with road rash and scratches at home in the garage!!!! Great results!!!!

Just a clean car is all that is required. Ie after a thorough wash
Looks really good and straightforward. Are you not worried that the base coat you are using will cause a reaction due to the incompatibility of materials?
Kind regards Paul
Hi Paul. No, there is never any reaction when doing this
Brilliant. I didnt think solvent base paint would hold up
If does pretty well
Outstanding! I am going to try this on my car.
👊🏻👊🏻
Make where you test on something else first see what result you get
Excellent video mate, so glad I came across your channel. Would you add some type of clear coat afterwards to help protect this?
Brilliant. Did you add some lacquer to the solvent paint, or use it neat?.
Neat solvent paint mate on this one
Perfect. My paintgear kit arrived complete with pads and compound so will get cracking Great series of videos. Thank you 🙏 👍
Hi, great video. What do you mean by solvent paint? Like a touch up pen from halfords? Would that be solvent?
yes it is. www.paintgear.co.uk if your in the UK.
Excellent there on the way more clips cheers my friend.👍
Thanks for watching mate
@@cvrpov cheers mate great work
I've also learned if it's a Metallic color, to mix up some non metallic color as close as You can for covering the road rash, then go over it again and touch up the larger chips with the proper paint color.
That's what I did because my car paint had an undercoat
Excellent result, have you tried wet sanding with 3000 grit before polishing the paint to reduce the clogging of the pad? Or is slower with the extra step?
I dont think the process would benefit from this.
So slower is better I do know that hire great is less gouging and smoother for base cost because it will mirror on top cost
Do you need to clear coat this afterwards? Or is there some harfener/laquer mixed with the base coat?
www.paintgear.co.uk paint has gloss enhancer mixed in but otherwise just basecoat
What is being used to thin down the paint ? I want to attempt this technique to a white Chevrolet corvette. Arctic white to be exact . I can get my hands on the matched paint but not sure what to use to thin down the paint mix . Thank you
With or without reducer, Boss??...
TYVM 💯👍
without... or very little
Nic job I’ll use it
Good stuff
I have a touch up pen left with some paint, can I use it to rub it into the rash?
Or is the paint mixed with something else?
It should work if its solvent paint
Could I use lacquer paint as well?
It has to be thinned a little but atleast the way it pours from the mix cup indicates it has some sort of thinner
What would you recommend for paint for a white Tesla? The door says it’s pearl white multi coat (PPSW) thank you.
I'd probably just use the basecoat white. I think your colour is a 2 stage pearl
Quality job 👌
Thanks man
Cant fault that work! I want to know if this solution will work for my car scuff over wheel arch gone through to primer. Any ideas?!?
Would this and the wet and dry method u have used in other video get the car to that deep gloss finish? Do u use any special products to wash car after? Do u have tips how to get that ' duck back' water roll off
Thanks
So the paint you rubbed in with a cloth was normal solvent base coat paint with thinner and no clear coat ?
Yes. Not thinned down though
Brilliant video.
Nice one
Clarification question please!! Was the initial paint used "matched" and purchased specifically with this car's paint code or was it just something close?? Thank you in advance for your answer.
I had it matched by www.paintgear.co.uk

no problem
Hi, I have a question, is the color you put on the car the color itself without the clear coat? I want to repair my car, so I need some advice.. Thank you for your reply Michal Prague
It is solvent base coat on its own. Not thinned down
Polish as in Wax or polish with a liquid Compound?
Compound 👍🏻
hi man, what is a gloss enhancer? Varnish? It's just that I live very far away and I can't order your kit, please suggest an alternative way
It is like a varnish/clearcoat yes. You don't have to add it.. I just think it helps. Normal untainted solvent basecoat will do the job
Does the paint you use have clear coat mixed in with it
I use www.paintgear.co.uk which has its own gloss enhancer mixed into it. Neat solvent paint usually is suffice tho
How long is a few minutes? 3? 7? 13? 30?
Can this be "locked in" using repeated applications of ceramic coatings?
Yes it can
Lock it on with Ppf. That’s what I’m about to do .
Can you just clarify.... this paint DOES NOT have clear coat mixed with it ?
In this example, no
Hey mate, any chance you could ship to Czech Republic?
Not at the moment but we are looking into it
Would metallic paint work this way?
This was metallic
Where do you get the paint from?
From a body shop ? Or where ?
I mix my own. www.paintgear.co.uk if your in the Uk
@@cvrpov is that paint mixed with clear?
Can you get these Paint Kits sent to the USA?
Not at the moment but we are working on it
Well I figured out what I been doing wrong... my solvent 1k urethane basecoat isn't drying as fast as your paint. I let it dry half a sunny day and then it buffs off flawless... wow 😂
Good stuff man
@cvrpov you use lacquer mostly in the UK?
I noticed the clearcoat over there is like a super thick layer
Is that just solvent base coat like what you would spray before clear or does it have clear mixed in?
Just solvent base
@@cvrpov so it wont last much
@@CharliesMaidenCovers it should last quite a long time, remember it's only the little defects on the paints surface that are actually holding any of the new paint. I've tried this method on my old car and it lasted a good 18 months before any of the old road rash began to show through again.
@@loojishtc9899 when i bought my car, there were some reparis like that, only base coat applied by brush and after few months pressure washer took it off
You need to add 50/50 paint to clear
Does acrylic enamel paint work?
Not sure on that one buddy
@@cvrpov I used solvent based touch up paint and worked like magic 👍🏽
That’s looks easy and doable I think I’ll go ruin my door now! Thanks 😂
Haha ok
Whats the abrasion specs is the compound?
Fairly high
Hi, great video, do you add your shine liquid to the base coat or is it just the base coat alone. Thanks
Base and gloss enhancer but base on its own works
Loos good, it would be better if you do the touching up first because the paint fills the chip better.
You could do this yes
Follow up with a 'finishing polish'... what exactly is a finishing polish that he uses and how is it different to the compound??
Compound has bigger cutting "solids" in the paste. It will feel slighty gritty between the fingers. A polishing compound less so and less cut brings up the mirror shine more. For sake of ease (and making this reply short) Meguiars Ultimate COMPOUND followed by Ultimate POLISH.

@@deanoh6414 Thank you for your reply! 👍
Did you say Solvent Paint?
Think so
Is that 1k base coat? Or 2k?
1k solvent
Paint already mixed with clear coat?
www.paintgear.co.uk paint is pre mixed with a gloss enhancer
Great tips love the video and by the way has the owner of this car let you go for a spin on this car lol thank you for the video
Yes he did 😅
@@cvrpov l😊 pop po
Pp
P😊
I guess this method does not work with 2K paints repair kits?
Can I buy a 1L amount of paint from that website ?
We don't do that size paint
where can i get this paint in the US?
www.paintgear.co.uk only ships to the UK at moment. We are looking for a supplier in the US
If I was watching on April the 1st
I be expecting and a big April fools.
But no well done.
If would take so balls to try this at home on my car 🚗
Haha its no joke
Fab that
Thanks Dale
