How to repair scratches on your car and Save Hundreds of Dollars
I repaired the scratches on my 2017 Jeep Cherokee for cheap.
*Note*
Some of the comments suggested to use 2500 or higher grit sand paper after the paint is dry right before buffing to make it shinier and smoother and also to use *wax after buffing with compound and polish. Thanks again for watching! Good luck on your projects!

I tried this following this video. These are the important things I learned: 1. This IS harder than it looks. 2. Bondo (body filler) is only needed if you have deep scratches in the bumper. If your fingernail falls into a groove when you scratch it, it needs body filler. 3. The body filler’s only purpose is to fill the groove (deep scratch) so that it’s a level surface. You don’t need it anywhere else. 4. Less is more! If you spray too much of the primer, color, or clearcoat, it’ll pool up and drip. If that happens, there’s no turning back. DO NOT TRY TO DAB IT OR REMOVE THE DRIP. 5. Spray more layers of paint. The primer will show through lighter colors and will require a few more layers. 6. Possess a godly amount of patience or else.

I actually tried this myself, this was an awesome process and I fixed my car completely. My Front Bumper looks like it is brand new. Some tips and pointers that I can give to anyone else watching this is make sure you don’t spray too close or too slow. We’re all beginners, we will make mistakes and that’s okay. Just be prepared to do a lot more buffing if you make blobs of paint or primer. Try to use lower grit sandpaper to fix your errors and gradually smooth out w/ 1500 grit and 2500 grit. Also when you mix the body filler. Put a small amount of hardening in the mix. Your mix should be gray colored and not pink. If it is pink, it’ll harden fast and get chunky, you may need to buff it down and try again. Also TAPE EVERYTHING, the spray paint works very well in the way it costs and reached places, I didn’t think it would. Hope you can learn from my mistakes. Enjoy! Excellent video!!!

High quality brand name with Carnauba Wax or liquid glass would be good to bring back a shine base match to original paint coat shine then a nice electric high speed buff to make that shine sparkle again. Awesome job

After doing it my self, It's important to note the following experiences: 1) Be prepared for at least 6 hours of work 2) Try to put as little filler as possible but the right amount or else you will be sanding half a day. 3) Don't overdo the paint, cause once it drips and try to fix it, ur are gonna end up leaving little bumps on the paint and there's no going back unless u want to sand and paint again and again. 3) For sure wear a mask and glasses 4) be extra patient.

I sold my baby for a better than expected price so I guess that paid the time I put in painting the car. 3-4 Light coats for each spray is the trick and try to have the filler as smooth as possible even it takes you some extra time.

@arnesbeganovic 2 жыл бұрын

To make it 100% correct, you should not jump sanding papers more then 1/2 of previous size. So if you start with 80 grid, next one is + 1/2 or 80 + 40 = 120. After 120 you go to 120+60=180. By skipping you leave small irregularities on surface area that can not be removed by higher grid number. You probably used high quality spay which filled those irregularities and help you with good finish. It's always a risk to jump from 80 to 180 by skipping 120. Great job anyway.

Just a helpful tip, when you apply body filler, you MUST cover the area around the scratches as well. The reason for this is if you don’t do so(meaning if you only fill the scratches), when you go to sand it, the sand paper will dig out all the remaining body filler and you’ll be back to square one

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I have a silver Toyota Solara Convertible that had some bad scratches that hugged the corner of my right rear bumper so the scratches spread from the rear to the side. Following your step by step instructions I was able to fix it and it worked out GREAT! Thank you SOOO much! I can't believe I did this! I have to disagree with some of the comments below that this is harder than it looks. Complete opposite for me. It was MUCH EASIER than it looks you just have to be patient, buy the exact right paint that fits your car and buy the other accessories mentioned and go step by step slowly. Wasn't that difficult at all. And I paid less than $100.00 for all the material with plenty left over for future touch ups or scratches. May need to buy more 1500 and 2500 sand paper but that's about it. One thumbs up doesn't seem like enough. More like a thousand!

My car was keyed. On a warm day I used a black crayon to fill in the scratches then wiped the edges clean with my finger. It lasts through car washes for about a year and then I do it again. It has to be a warm day for the crayon to melt into the depth of the scratch.

@thediycarmedic4822 4 жыл бұрын

Nice Job man. If I could give two tips it would be stop sanding after 600(metallic) or 400(solid) grit. The base needs something to stick to! Going to fine will not allow enough mechanical adhesion for the basecoat to bite into causing future adhesion problems. Another tip is look into the “spray max 2k clear coat”. It comes in an aerosol can that you activate. This will be far better than the 1k clear used. It will last just as long as professional shop clearcoat against UV.
