White paint is probably the easiest color to get a greater than 90% improvement for paint chip touch-ups.
Thanks for that… very helpful
Thank you!
DAP Dynaflex 230. If you can't find it use any equivalent elastomeric latex. Dynaflex Ultra is newer and probably better as it's more flexible and UV resistant. Both are paintable within an hour, come in multiple colors (clear if unsure), and waterproof. However 230 due to being a bit less flexible is able to handle gaps up to 1 inch whereas Ultra covers up to 1/2". All these fancy fillers are using the chemical compound of this. As a matter of fact DAP makes custom colors of this very product under Dynaflex 920. For clear coat I would recommend Angelus Leathee
Angelus leathee clear coat. Better than any of these companies
Do you need to apply clear coat on top of the base?
Sanding the edges lightly and using a couple coats of filler primer, then paint and then clear would probably give better results
i think you sanded a little too much..because you had it where the ridge was not seen….but i like the idea of a nice patch job..i have a small spot on my expedition aluminum hood…i got paint, sand paper, etching primer …and dremel tool..im going to take a little time and fill it in with primer and paint sand and buff and i should be good to go …and after the repair im going to put a bug guard over it. so it wont be seen. wish me luck..it's a very small spot of corrosion no bigger or smaller than a dime. body shop wants $500.OO to repair and repaint the whole hood..i don't think so! thanks again for the demonstration .
Dreadful job
have anyone tried using filler to build it up and finishing with spraycan? specially for metallic paints
