_Watching_ is nothing compared to what you've done. *THANKS* for taking the time to post this for newbies like me!!👍🚘

Well done with no fluff or chatter. Thank you sir !

Great video. Just got an airbrush for these kinds of repairs and this helped me get feel for it.

I've used the Sears Model 364-15506 airbrush for over 40 years. You can mix just as much paint as you need. If you use a traditional spray gun or even an aerosol can, you have a large spray pattern of like 6-8 inches for a tiny 1/4 chip. With an airbrush, you have precision control and can actually get to the point, with a little practice, where you can perfectly fill in a tiny scratch with no masking and little to no overspray. With acrylic lacquer, the paint goes on very thin (with a 50/50 paint to thinner ratio) so you have to hit it several times. But with the airbrush, putting down multiple thin coats is very easy and clean to do. Just like in the video, it's important to get an airbrush that has variable paint output. Kind of like a variable speed drill. With the adjustable airbrush, you pull the trigger back to increase the flow of paint. A lady I know is so precise, she can airbrush intricate designs on ladies' fingernails. It's good to practice with water-based paints on scrap material first. Before you know it, you'll be an old pro!

You are a hero for posting this!!!

Nice job, beautiful car, thanks for video.

Great video and results. Thank you sir ! 🙌

Yes! I wanted to fix a scratch on my gf car and looked up how to do it. The results were okay, and I figured the issue was the use of a spray bottle, so I was thinking use a spray gun, but those require more scfm (basically how much air pressure your compressor can produce), about to give up then I learned about different size sprayers, that got me to airbrush which my compressor can do. It was just an idea which I wasn't sure about until I saw this! Thanks you, will pull the trigger on getting the items, but it would have been nice to have seen you use a primer and clear coat, but I'm sure it's the same idea about thinning the things first for the airbrush.

your living my dream !

I use the same thing to do small touch up on aircraft. I hooked mine up to a scuba tank so it’s always perfectly clean and dry air. Also make sure you never use syringes with the black rubber stopper. They will cause fisheyes. Ask me how I know!

Love your videos, l dream of this car all the time.

Awesome job

Nice work

Great Video, Thank You

Hi again....you fixed that well my friend ........wouldn't happened with a hood scoop.....time to fit one

Looks like it worked. Probably wouldn't have used straight cut on the newspaper masking (hard edge). If you randomly tear the paper larger than your repair area being sprayed, then don't spray with the airbrush out as far as the paper it will naturally feather itself out. - Why didn't you lightly grind; clearance, then blend the underside of the hood before doing the touch up? (So, it doesn't happen again.) BTW - Those Harbor Freight DeLuxe Airbrushes are a great little starter airbrush, use it until you decide you like using an AB then upgrade to a Paasche or Iwata dual action AB. They're a great back up AB too.

Nice job....

Perfect!

Nice!!

Thank you

Hi nice video, just wonder what is the nozzle size for the air brush? many thanks!

Thanks

The video where you show the paint after multiple coats still shows a very noticeable depth difference from the damage. The finished part of your video does not look like it's an issue. how did you fix or level the surface? Was it clear coat? I have some dog scratches to fill in and I think an airbrush could be my best choice but want to get it right the first time.

Nice quick vid thx what air pressure do you run your brush at ?

Another car ran over something and spit up an object and it chipped my door. Can I just add the lacquer thinner with my touch up paint from the dealer?

Metalik ve düz renklerde airbrush boyası nasıl hazırlananır ? Hangi malzemeler kullanılır ?

I’m looking to do this for my weekend project on a scratch on my car. Quick question - what’s the reason for apply a dilute of 50/50 ratio for the thinner with the paint? Thank you!

can you tell us which compressor you got please? So you bought the regulator separately and installed it your self?Urgently need to know as about to do this myself. Thanks.

nice work, i dont think id used the news paper personally, then there wouldnt have been a hard edge, but it worked ok anyway, good stuff.

try touching up 3 stage paint right in the middle of a large area with an airbrush, then get back to me I’ve realized it requires a totally different base metallic color to be used over what you would use if you were to paint an entire hood or fender spreading out the base

How did u use the 205? Just by hand? And do you think this kinda technique would work on powdercoated stuff? Powdercoat isn't hard like auto body paint, it feels more latexy or rubbery ya know. I'm asking bc I'm looking to do the same

I just finished doing mine. My paint isnt a single stage, though, and the areas I hit are easily visible in certain lighting. Not sure if I can spray the 2k clear or just buff and polish and hope for the best. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Nice video, not too much talking and sped up when needed. you did this with lacquer paint, will in work with other types of paint?

Nice job. What is your solution for the clearance issue? Maybe drop mount?

The simplicity of single stage paint... much easier to work than bc/cc

So do you need to apply thinner with any type of automotive paint ?

How the paint can be sanding?my question is the painting can sanding or not?

Can you add a hardener to the paint?

Why can’t I find a detailer or bodyshop that handles touch up paint this way? They always want you to repaint the whole panel, or they only touch it in a way where it’s not flush with the paint? Very frustrating.

Did you use any primer first ?

You can still see the scratch. Needs clear.

This is a single-stage paint job, right?

Damn! Bummer. Should have left the playdough on there!

Can you do my truck

Wait a minute.... nice paint repair... but what about how you are going to prevent it from happening AGAIN....? Ouch!

Laquer paint isnt durable enough no? Why not use automotive paint so it can withstand the heat and other environmental factors?

You did it in reverse. Don't be so chintzy. Just pay a mobile 😮professional

Fake video! after spraying on the paint there was a very noticeable chip ditch and a masking build up. Wet sanding with 1000 and polishing won't do anything. The guy didn't even show application of a clear coat. I'm a full time panel beater and painter and know that you cannot get away with a repair using this type of procedures!
