Hears some constructive criticism. With in a year or probly in months that touch up will flake and peel off. You painted over areas that were not prep for paint. You have to sand and dull ALL of the glossy surfaces that you intend to paint. Not sure what grit sand paper was used. Scratches still look pretty deep from the sanding. Paint will shrink a little after it drys. So those scratches will stand out.

I don't understand why 21 negative reviews, these aren't 100% professional repairs, but its not a Porsche.. I detail a lot and this seems to be a cost-effective way to bring cars from a 2 to a 7, not a 10. And it saves the customer some cash. Thumbs up, and thank you.

I erroneously thought this was a 'how to' video. The steps weren't explained, nor were the products used. What was in the spray bottle? What grit was the sand paper? What type of paint was used? How much paint is used? How long is it supposed to dry between applications? Do you have to use thinner with the paint? What do you expect the viewer to learn from this video? Thanks for listening.

Ok when you do the stone chips what do you use to take off the excess is it a mix of thinners & panel wipe if so what's the mix ratios? Or if it's something different what do you use?

@Pacific what type of paint are you using in your airbrush guns

i was once offered. to work in detail shop and use my airbrush skill to cover the chips and imperfections but i didnt know how...what is the process u have to take to get great results and not leaving a big smudge on it?

Helpful. Gave me confidence to try it

Hi, can you please tell me what product you use to remove the excess paint on the chip repairs it would be greatly appreciated. Lastly thank you in anticipation of your response.

Ples whats it for paint gun u used? Ples answer me soon Thanks

Great video. I do this but with body paint guns as a sata , iwata spray guns. etc. quick advice. Get a velcro DA and 220, 600 grit sand. You'll save a tons of time trying to smooth the damage. After if you clear coat the area. Spray blender where your clear coat ends. To blend the new clear with the old clear. And let it cure out. And sand it with 2000 grit. Then Compound polish the area and done ✅ but this is just an advice. Anyone works different way. Have a great day 👌✌️😊

What do you wipe the car with after you spray a chip?

You know, it would be nice to know exactly WHAT, HOW LONG, and everything else we need to know about what you're doing in this video instead of a lot of fancy music. Not all of us are expert detailers and can't assume that what you're using in that bottle is water or some other special chemical. Being told step by step is what a video is about. The idea of a video is to inform-not make a episode of Starsky and Hutch greatest music theme songs. Id' try again if I were you-this wasn't much help in knowing the timing and what type of other instruments you used in it.

What kind of paint did you use? Was it acrylic or 2K?

hi. If i mix the paint with a pearlescent powder will it get splattered burst or clog the nozzle?

what was on the rag when he buffed the excess blue paint from the truck?

Also are you mixing yourself on site? If so is it possible for me to do that with say auto air paint? I'm sure ppg has mixing software or something

How much paint do you need for a small scratch like that?

what paint type did you used. thanks .

Do wait for the paint to dry and what is in the cloth?

What size nozzle did you use?

It the beginning on the video when you were working on the blue truck what chemical or solvent were you using to wipe off the excess over spray?

Perfect airbrush. But I miss description which equipment, tools, chemicals you use and how you sanding paint

On the purple car, what specific product did you use on the rag to puff it out? It looked great.

Hola buenas tardes, una consulta, que le pasas a la pintura despues de realizar el retoque en el piquete? Solvente? Slds muchas gracias, excelente video mi amigo

This is the perfect video....................................to show you how not to do a paint repair, could still see some of the damage on the bumper.

on the grey car, did you just spray over dirt flecks???

what are you wiping the paint with?

On the blue truck, what are you using to wipe the touched-up areas down? is it a water/thinner based solution, or a rubbing compound to even/blend the areas out? thx

Back to new huh, the scratch is still there lol. If you paid more attention and used primer or adhesion promoter, filled in the rock chips, blended the clear with a blender or reducer, then it would be a pretty good repair. This is cheap hack work.

Since the bumper is plastic, did you use water based paint, or was it a ppg paint (automotive, quick drying)? I paint goalie masks, and have a similar scratch on my mercedes...thinking I should give it a shot!!? I use Createx paint..wicked line..should not be a problem eh! thx

What's used on that cloth to wipe off the excess paint??!!

Very nice video. I watched the whole thing to see if you would cover the complete scratch with paint. You missed a spot, but you would have to be a roach to see it. I am like the others, we need info on the tools, how many psi., reducing or can you get it ready to spray, etc. I did see that you were using an inexpensive Paasche. Keep up the good work.

Why go through all that trouble to leave the scratched area not sanded smooth and overspray all over the fog light?

Damm Awesome work! You are very talented, keep em coming!

You put on the paint and then later wiped it with a cloth. What was on he cloth and how did it not take off the paint that filled the scratch?

They say ... "A thousand words is worth ... a thousand words" Sadly you took a potentially Great & very informative video & turned it into not much.

When you were touching up the paint chips, did you let the paint thoroughly dry before wiping with the cloth? Was there a cleaner on the cloth you wiped the paint chip areas with? It looks like a great way to treat rock chip paint damage...

Any chance you can upload more airbrush paint repair videos like this one? Ideally, you should have used primer first, but regardless, I love the concept of using an airbrush for small repairs like this. Love the outcome of the silver car in this video. Would like to see more of your repair work using an airbrush. Where do you get your paint from?

Great work! I'm in tn and have been fooling around with airbrush touch up. I know on larger repairs you have to do top coat clear but on rock chip repairs did you use any inter clear or dealer or just base coat? Also what's in bottle you wipe overspray off with? Any help would be appreciated pacific coast!

No clear coat?

There is not one person in my country doing this great repair, i want so badly to learn what techinque and methods you are using to fix a stone chip or paint nick.. i have a metallic paint ( bmw silver platinum) that i need to repair.. from what i understand you cannot mix metallic paint with clear coat because it darkens the color.. is that correct? Also using an airbrush is the way because it ensures the metallic flakes are scattered correctly thus showing the right color instead of just puting paint in the chip with a small needle.. the things i do not undersratnd are these: 1. Do you use a normal paint thinner to remove the overspray excess around the chip without damaging older paint and how long do you wait ? 2. Do you use clear coat ? and how? do you mix it with the metallic paint ? do you apply it afterwards or you do not use it at all ?

where can i buy this air brush?

When you use the air brush gun, what type of compressor do you use? Also, do you use regular paint and top it with a clear? Thanks.

1rst...you need to sand ,then add Bondo, resurface it with 1000 grit,then add primer, then 3 coats of paint to make ideal job!..

Little.more masking for overspray not bad idea. And that paints gonna peel where you didn't sand the bumper or did I miss that part

Which airbrush and compressor are you using?

Hey thsnks and verry nice Video, Do I really need to mix the paint together with the reducer? What will happen if I didn't?

Did you use single stage paint on the front bumper of the BMW?

Pretty good...I see you got a little over-spray by the fog light.

What kinda paint is that?

Would be great with some info as well, nice work

where,s the commentary explaining what you're using?

You don't use a primer?

why did you not use a primer / filler and why did you not sand the whole area that you sprayed on? Will the paint stick to plain plastic of the bumper ?

i try it! but still the chips was still there. it needs to be sanded and put a little body filler or putty it depends on your idea, before applying the base coat and clear coat. if it is a 2k or autocryl i believe it works. but still it is a nice video. im a refinisher too. using standox, sikkens and spice hecker.

Hi what sort of paint do you use to make these repairs?

please tell me tha painting colour name....?

were is the clear coat . do you need clear coat .

Guy was taking a bong hit in the truck.

Same question.

If it lasts looks good to me!!

what did you use to clean off the overspay

did they used water in that spray/towel?

Is it a hack? Maybe. Does it make a dumb ding look a lot better for a little money... you bet! I'm not in Cali or I'd bring my vehicle in...I do wish there was a little more information so I could perform the repair myself. It's certainly inspired me to dig a little deeper. Thanks for posting it.

Wow that escalated quickly.

Wow you're so genius, do you have another video that have deeper sractch and do you need puty to it.? and i hope you can give me the link. many thanks

The negative comments gave me more info than the video itself.

Worthless info is what the entire world is regurgitating today. Thanks!

what kind of air brush set up is that?

If you look good at it, then you notice that it is not the scratch that you see, but reflection of something. In some points of the video when he moves his hand/arm more to the left, then the so called scratch is not visible anymore.

Last time I tried to use a air brush. I shot the clear coat and it came out in cob webs

How you get ahold these people

Looked close......and yep still scratched

No buffing? No clear Coat?

Wow!

This looks like something a shyster used car dealership would use

also by the way i have a 2007 bmw 550i the exact same color ur doing in the video...

The scratch is still visible and there is a clear color-difference. Poor working! Practice a little more...

Not bad you can still see the scratch a little bit

Dude, why didn't you tape off the Black part of the Spoiler or the Tire? You got paint all over them. What you did looked Good. All in the Details my Friend... peace....

Amen

the solution equates to a light rubbing compound to remove any excess paint.

great video. some people are morons and don't realize this is a lower cost alternative repair to a $300+ repaint. the idea is for maybe $50 the scratch isn't noticable to the casual eye... nice work.

Great work. Some audio would be nice, although the "70s porno" soundtrack was kinda neat....

Can you say the airbrush mfg and model?

poderia ter isolado um pouco mais, mas no mais ficou tiop

many thanks for the great video it was very impressed job and easy for me as a beginner . please can you explain in the video next time it will be easier and more helpful😊

Have you ever heard of paint sealer?

takes a couple of minutes to fill in with bondo or similar body filler then the scratch would not be visible at all.

Awesome touch up repair 🥰

yep this will def not hold upp to anything, not even a pressure wash, hate people who do this shit before selling cars, not that much more work to do it properly.

This is shocking for the industry of professional repairers and that poor persons vehicle.

you use paint which contains thinner

gets paint all over the foglight. doesn't care.

It's gonna come of when u wash it

I cringed when that fog light got grey paint on it

Dude, excellent video, dont worry bout all the negativity from those douchebags. I know I'd rather do this and keep money in my pocket to do something fun with my wife or friends. Just wondering what you're using to wipe down the excess paint. Is that paint thinner?

I know how to do all that mark showed me...

POD baby lol
