Should have used primer to fill it in and a small piece of sandpaper glued on a pencil eraser tip.hand buff and polish.
Diese Arbeit ist leider nicht sehr schön gemacht. Bin selber seid 20 Jahren kfz-lackierer und weiss dass man es besser machen kann.
An easy explanation for your girlfriend or wives, sand paper grit is how many bumps per inch of paper, so 400 grit is 400 bumps and 10 grit is 10 bumps.
I tried something like this for days. Unfortunately the chip/scratch was on the plastic bumper.
After several attempts I gave up. Fortunately, the scratch was on a part of the bumper that would look good with a small vinyl decal.
Hid the scratch and personalized my car. Not the optimal solution but as a friend said. Hey it looks factory…😃
Very useful. Thanks
What have we learnt here …. Nowt
I wondering why you wouldn't lay the scratched surface horizontally before you start adding paint, then allowing gravity to to assist rather than to have to fight with it
Very helpful thank you
My difficulties arise when the surface is vertical like a car bumper, gravity pull the paint down snd you and up with an uneven paint application.
not terrible… why not sand some first, airbrush in the touchup paint for some blend effect, and follow with 2k in a can clear, then sand? sanding on a basecoat that has metallic is normally something I avoid. Might even be able to get a proper wet
> wet window. This is still all under $100-150, quite approachable for the average joe. Assuming you can figure out how to wetsand. (I learned by blocking out and finishing work for a new painter's first few cars ahahhahaha what a pain, but good way to learn, pretty low risk. Airbrush is a really useful little tool for small stuff, it's a mini turbine HVLP essentially. May not match factory but it'll beat a brush tip. I need to try a 2k product in one for touch ups/spot jobs. I usually just get the spray cans, so convenient. And for $20-25 each, not horribly expensive. Isn't a lot of product, but the time saved not carrying around a full gun setup, everything to clean it, etc etc is wayyyy worth it for things like headlights. (Also something that is more tolerant of imperfections, aren't going for 100% glassjust need the protection for the headlight plastic.
