How to Fix a Scratch

[ooCHICOoo]

nice and fast goo job

[Farmer2492]

Beautiful paint job.I just painted a vintage car first paint job on a car, I painted it with Acrylic it come up Beautiful but a lot of preparation went in to it.is 2 pack harder to spray than Acrylic also is a gravity feed spray gun better than a suction feed would a gravity feed give a better result and shine also do you mix your clear with the last two coats of paint. Regards Farmer

Da computers don't give u da identical color u gotta mess wit it add a lil this and dat sumtines u get a good match but mostly no u gotta make da color

[mario714619]

Its not soap its sanding paste I mostly use dat after I sand da blend with 1000 just to go over wat I missed

[03green]

good job, looks like you forgot to tape off the wheel did you have a lot of overspray on it?

[rocsvt1]

what type of soap you use for wet sanding?

[MrEricdejesus]

how can i avoid uneven paint color if i'm going to fix the scratches? i got a trouble when i was try to do it becoz it seems different to the original color.

[TripInsure]

That is amazing how the new paint matches the old paint so nicely

[HandsofGold92]

Lol yeah I bet, I'm barely starting out. I'm still in high school. I have two Tekna's , maybe when I'm making the money I can try out the iwata's, hopefully I can afford sand paper so I won't have to try and sand with them haha but thanks

[HandsofGold92]

Do you ever have to wet sand with your Iwata's?

[jimmo4life]

@HandsofGold92

I've never tried, they'd make a poor sandpaper I'd imagine..........haha... i know, bad joke.. Yes I still have to wet sand and polish whenever I get dirt or the odd run in the clear. The finish is comparable to a factory texture.

[blubu68]

Can a straight black car be blended-in on the quater panel without noticing the blend from old to new clear coat. The car is chevelle.

[RUSSRTOC]

Service1956 just goes to show how modern paints have changed to 1980

[asabowers]

Geez, hear of gloves and a paint suit ??

[service1956]

About 10 years ago or so, I knew an older guy that painted cars. His work was excellent!! Back in 1980 I had a Honda civic with a small dent on the front fender. He bumped it out. He then only painted that area larger than the repair itself to get it to blend in. When he was done, I looked at it and you had to look long and hard to see it. It did look good. Fantastic job. Now a days, they will paint that whole panel. And even in some cases will repaint the entire whole side.

[urbex2007]

@service1956 That is because they have no skill these days! Anyone can paint the whole panel, not everyone can do as your friend did and just paint the part required. People often take the easy way out now and it looks terrible to see a car that is two or three different shades in different light.

[TheOneTheOnlyPhilip]

i totally disagree with using the grey scotch pad and scuff paste because you are not knocking down any of the previous finishes orange peel of therefore double the orange peel once you recoat i prefer using 1000 grit with foam backing to knock off all the previous texture

[theevilchicken666]

hey, just a quick question, how will i go about repainting a scratch,,,, the car is painted white with red pearl. do i just need to do the same mixture and coats to get it to look the same? or will i need to do more?

[frankyoriginal]

Awsome job!

[iiMurda]

wtf no primer

[datwasdope]

****(((( YO. Thanks for the flick. Dat was dope. ))))**** ....was that the LV 1.6 silver cap set? or 1.4

Just bought the LVX (orange) and need one for clear. thanks

[xlechasseurx]

what the black thing u put in the hole ? eurethane? what is this? u need a primer after u put it ? plz answer :)

[FreddyLocs209]

Holy shit that came clean!!!!!!!!!

[Pendemic]

Hi Jimmo

I'm looking at buying my first gravity feed gun and was wondering what you would recommend? I want to stay on the sort of cheap side and maybe buy 2 guns...one for primer and one for base/clear.

I know guns don't make a good paint job and it's all about prep. I have experience painting and just wondering which ones you would recommend on the cheaper side?

Thanks,

Elliott

[algeriano118]

goooooooooooooooooooooood



[spsonis]

a lot of work for such e small scratch!

[saucychurch23]

looks beautiful, nice job man. Im taking the auto collision program at my local college and need to purchase a paint gun. would you recommend the Iwata lph400?

[a2zcarwash]

nice

[PuertoRico20111]

yo no savia blendiar cuando vi este video pude apreciar lo fasil que es blendiar gracias por este video .

[V6sriProductions]

That finish is flat and polished



[nelute5]

Too bad! For a small spot, you paint the whole door? If you had used two guns, you could just paint the spot, without having to see the difference.

[garabato38]

Excellent!!!!!!

[ivyspikes16]

Who ever disliked this comments is a bitch.. lol this was awesome job..

[mfranciscops]

Seguro huchito jaja.

[RockBanddrummer2009]

Probably shouldn't do this with metallic paints

[Sleepy56chevy]

Nice video clip, thanks for posting it on youtube.

J

[mfranciscops]

En este laburo luego de sacar el rayon, lija toda la superficie del panel con que cosa que hace como espuma? y luego pinta con el barniz? asi nomas? y solo le dio color a la parte reparada? eh?

[huchito157]

igual que el chapista de mi barrio que pinta y se le chorrea todo jajaja

[GiirLBebO]

ko



[mfranciscops]

Para pintar el barniz solo matiza la superficie? alguien que entienda, QUE ME SAQUE LA DUDA. GRACIAS!

[xxpr0nag3xx]

probably would have went better if you removed the 8 bolts and 1 connector and took the whole door off.

other then that all i see is lack of triggering and maybe blend a little further.

[yorkermiles]

What air pressure were you using to spray the first coat of primer as I noticed you were very close to the car's panel itself?

[unknown2Usucker]

hey cud you give a supply list



[speedwaypinoy]

First timer here, Just finished doing this to my rear panel, looks great...terrible color match on my part >_<

[truzzi1]

at last an automotive video thats enjoyable to wath on you tube, good shout chap :)

[truzzi1]

at last an automive video thats enjoyable to wath on you tube, good shout chap :)

[irene1ization]

If you put some dishwash liquid in the water the sandpaper clogs less and sands nicer too.

[TMNT2K11DINOSAUR]

100 grit is a rougher sandpaper therefore it will take more paint off quicker

[187MIAMIBOY]

what takes more paint out of your car? lower grit like 100 or 1200?

[MrMrtiki]

Thank god for HVLP.



[chainy10]

so much work..i only want to fix a damn small 4 inch scrape...not paint the entire panel.

[rmjg081]

dodgy as,mate u dont scotch n paste a whole door u do that after u 800p the door with a buzzer with a soft pad. and you also dont blend ur base coat like that either

[kell490]

@rmjg081 not sure if your language is English but I have no idea what you are saying. What is a buzzer are you meaning to say the DA sander?

[rmjg081]

dodgy as,mate u dont scotch n paste a whole door u do that after u 800p the door with a buzzer with a soft pad

[coil2daover]

how much does this type of work go for?

[RobgersHabit]

1. What grit are you using on the DA?

[RobgersHabit]

A few Qs for you if you get time, thanks.

[ClassicCarsUk]

Very useful. Thanks.

[SuesDaytona]

Excellent job.

[BadRonald1]

How much would you charge for something like this ?

[Erbasicca69]

the mat paste whyte ?????production by

[MrPANDPKENNELS]

nice

[jaianz]

how much it cost?

[svt20009]

does anyone know the grit on the sanding paste?

[SmellyGymShorts]

for blend prep, Is there an alternative to grey scotch pad and sanding paste -- how about sanding with 800 -1000 grit? thanks

[TheWildandcrazyguy]

@SmellyGymShorts grey scotch brite is the same as 1000-1200 grit sandpaper i like to wet sand my blend panels with 1200 and go back over the panels edges with the gray scotch brite so i dont cut through the clear coat and into the base

[SmellyGymShorts]

@TheWildandcrazyguy thx

[BUFFY4PRESIDENT]

@SmellyGymShorts YOU CANT BEAT THE SCOTCHY/PASTE METHOD...IT CLEANS AND PREPARES IN ONE STEP...SO EASY. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO USE PAPER, TRY P1200-P1500, BUT YOU NEED TO BE ALOT MORE THOROUGH AS THE PAPER WONT CONFORM TO THE SHAPE OF THE SURFACE LIKE SCOTCHY DOES .

[syedwelcome]

Nice Video, but is the camera is kept inside a glass wall or just normal. if normal why the paint stains cannot be seen in lens. is it far from the spray work? thnx

[GAboy3030]

Hey jimmo. What is a very good body shop to go to? I went to Maaco and a few locally owned body shops, but I am unsure about who I should go with. I just bought a '08 GMC Acadia with the Red Jewel Tintcoat. I screwed up by using a Dupli-Color repair kit and on some minor scratch jobs. The estimates I have received are much more than I expected.

[FRIZCO]

love that you put lots of info on your videos.. from what your are spraying to what grade of sandpaper you are using..love it..

[robiiiiee]

lol at the noise! it sounds like its enjoying it :P

[plocco]

it looked orange the whole time

[rob99rst]

good video. nice job

[poshi12]

i want to paint a motorcycle gas tank.Will it work for that?

[kopec2255]

how long did that one panel take you to do

[jimmo4life]

A few hours....maybe 3-4 start to finish.

[Zlyzer]

@jimmo4life What type of clear coat do you use? I find it VERY hard to get the balance between orange peel and runs right. Could it be because I'm using a cheap clear coat brand? I've tried this with a Devilbiss GTI and Iwata AZ3 both set to around 50-60PSI at the gun, and it seems to always come out with bad orange peel or runs. Or both! Help?!

[danilo1565]

Hey jimmo i have a quest. im about to buy a clear coat gun. but im undecided between the iwata w400lv lph400 or the sata 3000 rp 1.3 let me know what yo think.

[jimmo4life]

I'd probably go with the RP if I could do it all again. The W400 is a nice gun for clear too, the LPH is more designed as a hybrid for base/clear, if it's only clear I would choose the W over the LPH anyday. I've only demoed the RP for a few weeks and I really liked it, plan to pick one up eventually.

[jimmo4life]

i don't have enough experience with the RP to say for sure, I liked it for clear better...ask me again in a few months, I have one comming next week.

[XwP1ayawX]

@jimmo4life

I have the same question, what one did you end up favoring? I'm in-between the two right now. Would you recommend using it for both base and clear? Or just clear

[XxJhate]

@danilo1565 3000 is the best clear gun IMO

[StuPadazzo]

Nice work. Very helpful. One question, do you color-sand before clear?

[jimmo4life]

no, color sanding happens after clear...it's not really color sanding with base/clear , Kinda older terminology.

[MultiTeoDesmo]

@jimmo4life

Hi, nice work!

I use an HVLP gun for cleaecoat. But i always have problems with the clear "running" on the surface. Do you think the problem is the spray pattern setting, distance, gun movement speed or air pressure at the tip?

What pressure should i have when clearcoating? Thanks!

[StuPadazzo]

...so WHY then does it take 6 months to get your car back from the autobody shop?  lol

[Sawmasters]

thx from Poland, good work :)

[MUCKLEWELLS]

2. Next it was backsanded to allow space for the primer to adhere ?? sorry don't understand that bit...

[jimmo4life]

When you prime over the feathering you always have to bring your primer a bit beyond that. Backsanding ensures your primer lands on a sanded surface.

[SERVITE888]

thank you Jimmo

[gotinline2x]

Jim, my color is coming out darker than the rest of the paint on a project similar to this vid. Any suggestions as to why? Thanks

[jimmo4life]

I'm not sure I understand, are you blending the color within the panel or coloring the entire panel. Where does it look dark?

[metotelolote]

hi!! what do you think about the lph 400-1.4 for clear coat?.....thanks pepe

[mandtconstruct]

Where can a person find that paste online?

[jimmo4life]

There are many sanding pastes from several suppliers, you should be able to find something on google.

[MegaKimtastic]
