too much work if you ask me
Thanks you so much , it is a very excellent technic, i really learn.
I like this video, its rly nice idea where second half can spray. Totally support that product, keep it on! 😀
What type of sand paper did you use.
will this clearcoat last for years? will gas or paint thinner affect this clearcoat or not since it has the activator? and where can i get it? =) thanks
Great demonstration. Managed to repair several stone chips on my car using this method. I only sanded until the primer though since the chips didn't reach the metal. The blending part was surprisingly easy. You just need a good eye and probably because my car is bright silver. Black, white and silver are probably the easiest to blend. Those with other colors will probably need a professional to mix the paint exactly according to the car's color code. I used off the shelf "metallic silver" spray paint. Easy to adjust the shade since it's silver and the paint itself is fairly transparent, hence several coats are necessary to get a clean blend.
For the medium scratches which didn't even reach the primer, wet sanding with 1500 grit sandpaper actually managed to remove them! I didn't have to repaint. I only had to re-apply clear coat after leveling those medium scratches. After the clear coat, had to wet sand using 2000 grit sandpaper to level the clear coat. Then buff with polish then wax. Surprisingly easy.
I'm pretty pleased and the only thing that's tedious is the time spent waiting for a coat to dry. Each coat means you need to wait again and you'll probably do at least 4 or 5 coats. Spent less than $30 in total and I still have a lot of paint and clear coat left for future repairs.
I have a question.. if i paint a small area of a bumper i get the paint line where the masking tape starts and i dont know how to remove it. ive tried masking with blue paper towels and folding outward so the tape is covered. now this has reduced the visibility of the paint line but its still visible.i tried the s.e.m. blendz-in but i might have used it wrong and if i try to move on to applying clear coat i get the same problem. how can i change my technique to make it blend 95-99%? thanks
What brand of clear coat blender is that?
If I bought a fender that was finished "primed" would I be able to skip to the painting steps?
wait to the sun gets on it
