    He should have sanded the area both wet and dry with his fine grade paper, using plenty of water with fine grit is important, that way you'll always get a mirror like finish before painting.

    depends on the plastic, if it is a flexible kind of plastic, they are easy to repair, if they are hard plastic that cracks, forget it.

  • @TyBuchanan
    @TyBuchanan 7 лет назад +2

    You are a typical spray painter, not a panel beater! Do not use your finger tips to measure how level a panel is. Always use the whole of your left hand over the area. Your left hand is the more sensitive than the right. Using your fingers will result in visible ripples in the clear coat.
    Why don't you use a color mist spray over the filler before rubbing it down. Not highlighting fine scratches will lead to a "sweating" affect, i.,e. fine bumpy lines visible in the gloss.

  • @jaystundon4905
    @jaystundon4905 7 лет назад

    Quick question. See the way you scuffed the panel down to clear around the area. If you were to apply paint what grit would you do it with? 400-600? Aswell, I painted my bumper I sanded and primed the section and scuffed the whole bumper with 600grit wet and came out perfect, is the 1500 scuff just to minimise scratches?

  • @stevo091

  • @marcosmorales854
    @marcosmorales854 9 лет назад

    If I sand down the whole bumper with 220 then 320 then 400, do I still need to sand it with 1500 grit sandpaper? And do I have to primer it after sanding down with 220 even tho I don't have any deep cuts like that?

      No cause u cant contol how much heat u put into tolhe plastic which could lead to u over heating it and it stretching as soon as u touch it a heat gun gives you the most contol of the heat u apply before massaging the bumper

      +Jon Varbero No the duplicolor primer you see at autozone is not compatible with these paints, they are laquer based. Buy the primer at the same place you buy the base coat to make sure its compatible. GL

    so what if you just wanted to repaint the plastic cover,would you just have to scuff it all and clean it really good,then just repaint and clear?

    • @myRatchets
      @myRatchets  8 лет назад +2

      +sleepe361 400 grit over any area you are spraying basecoat, 1500 grit over any area you are spraying clear coat. If you are spraying clear coat over base coat than obviously dont go over fresh basecoat with 1500 grit.

    @gianfrancoa 9 лет назад +1

    Thanks for the vid. Silvers and beige are really hard to color match. Bumper color looks a different shade already.
    In this case seems that you are not taking the bumper off to re-spray it, Isn't the masking effort greater that taking the cover off?

    • @myRatchets
      @myRatchets  9 лет назад

      gianfrancoa not really, I I usually just tape around the bumper and use a large plastic tarp to cover the rest of the car. Some of these bumpers are a beast to take off. Thanks for commenting.

    I thought it's shouldn't flex because it's all connected to the frame. Frame benting is bad right? See the bumper covers are flexible and cheap to mass produce. cars in the past were had steel bumper and didn't flex , the suspension does all the movement. I mean I don't know if I right but it just a thought.

    • @joemacscott2677

  • @StonedMagpie
    @StonedMagpie 6 лет назад

    Here is the funny thing the way he is doing is structurally weak and is not repairing the integrity of the bumper but just the apearance. The bumper is on the car still unable to repair properly repair is only on the outside not inside meening the damage is not repaird but covered up. Be safe ur car can be the only thing between h dying or living and doing repairs at home is dangerous aswell failure to list the damage u repaired can lead to insurance issues when trying to claim. Ive list some of many issues i can see within a couple minutes also he failed to properly strip the paint which means the putty he just put on is prone to cracking/flaking off due to there being a layer of primer/paint inbetween it and the plastic making it difficult for it to bond. Oh btw im fully qualified specifically to repair bumpers as close as u can to its original appearance and integrity.
