    Ok, there are lots of 'thumbs down' no doubt from people who are professionals or perfectionists. This was a simple repair job that came out very well. Anyone with a bit of craft experience could take this sort of repair on. If you took that to a pro body shop they would charge a lot of money. I think it was a good video and he explained what he was doing well.

      @snivvelslurderagementai2560 2 года назад +32

      for sure. and not all body shop "professionals" do a good job either.
      I've had paint flake off and panels rusting months after work in body shops covered by insurance. after they took large sums of money.
      I would prefer the work he did here than many body shops.
      i just did this job on my own bumper following this process and it turned out great. not perfect but great.

    You can also see the edge in this repair. At 8:13 he is pointing at the tape to make a soft edge and at 11:35 you can clearly see the edge. The edge will be even more noticeable in sunlight.

      @@rustycooper7684 I don't think it's a reflection. At 11:35 at the bottom, you can see a new shiny clear coat right next to an old beat-up clear coat where the tape was.
      The transition can be softened with buffing but at the right angle under the sunlight, the line is still noticeable. That is why you never repair the hood this way. You coat the entire hood. This car is probably no longer new, so such a repair makes sense.

      @rockefelleragent1357 5 лет назад +12

      It's very very hard and time consuming work especially the sanding / wet-sanding part. Spraying is fun but sanding isn't. I have done refinishing my front bumper (the entire bumper and requires removal) in the past and took me 2 months to sand the damn thing, before and after painting. Sanding time will take up 90% of the entire process. If you use professional tools such as sand grinder with various sizes cutting pads it can cut down man hours by 1/2 but still pain in the ass. If you use 2K clear coat then you don't have to wet-sand after clear coat because it does pretty good job laying the clear down nice and flat, but you gotta have skillful hands to do it right. If you use 1k lacquer clear coat man you are in for tough luck cause you have to sand it again and again and again till it gets smooth. And if the clear you put on is too thin then you'll lose all your clear from sanding so you have to apply plenty of clear so this problem can be prevented. Don't try to save a few bucks on clear coat by getting those cheap 1k clear stuff just go with the 2K clear and you'll save yourself a lot of work.

I did the video thing above on my bumper and caused all kinds of problems (I mean me causing the problems from lack of experience). Then worked on my daughter's car bumper the following week and it came out great, similar to the video. Little things you learn of when to push the spray button on the can; to put on 2-3 very light coats first of any spray, let dry 5 minutes between each...then put on the heavier "wet" spray for the last coat. But not too much or it runs. Better I thought to let each "wet" coat dry overnight. Buy the higher cost sprays also, don't use anything cheap: another lesson I learned. I wrote down each step also then followed it. Rather enjoy doing this work now, did a friends 3 months later and he could not believe it was not done by a professional shop. Further note: I just used 180 grit and higher. 80 grit seemed to abrasive where I was fixing those scratches I caused with the 80 grit.

      I check other video and it said that you shouldn't use body filler that use for a fender and apply it on a plastic bumper because it could crake. Bondo bumper filler is made for plastic only and to use on bumper only. Also to use adhesion promoter before putting on primer so the primer and the paint will stick to the bumper. What's your opinion. Great job. But confused.

  • @gregjenkins7014

    Good job mate, you followed all steps correctly. The issue with cans is what it looks like 6 months later. Sinkage is the main problem with repairs like this. 4-1 high build primer has to be used over filler for Lifetime guarantee. Hs laquer as well. Your job looks good now but wont last the life of the car. Good diy job

    He did a great job. But problems I have had attempting this that were out of my control: Paint can sprayed evenly but the paint can tended to spatter. The physical paint layer was even, but being metallic, the color was uneven even after extended and vigorous mixing. Clearcoat nozzle developed clogs resulting in uneven spray patterns and blotchy finish. Even with a clean garage and a tacky wipedown before clearcoating, you cannot avoid trash in the finish. Lastly, even in this video, there is an obvious difference in color between the original paint color and the sprayed area.

    • @MrNoNameThanks
      @MrNoNameThanks Год назад +1

      The tip is to warm your paint cans up for 5mins in front of a hot air gun shaking every 30seconds till the tin is warm and warm paint cans have much better effect, no splatter either.

    Love your videos: short and to the point, some drive me mad ,waffling.
    Decided to have a go and re-did my bumper. rattle cans these days have got a fairly good spray pattern.
    Lesson 101: BE PATIENT, don't spray too much at a time, and let it dry.
    I only had clear with 2k technology, not the real thing, so did 4 coats, let dry for 3-4 days, rubbed back with 1500 wet/dry till 'smood' (I'm Irish ancestory too), and then polished the crap out of it with Meguiars (not compound) and a DA sander. Came up brilliantly! Thanks again
