in this video, I am going to show you how I touch up paint chips
on a vehicle
using a window marker
touch up paint
and a q-tip
into music playing
first thing I do
identify
the paint chips
that I want to touch up
I take the window marker
and I circle the paint chip
that way I know where they are at
second thing I do
I take some rubbing alcohol with a Q-tip
soak it on the Q-tip
and I go to each paint chip
and clean it out
really good, make sure their is no wax or dirt or anything inside the paint chip
so what I do with the Q-tips
is I cut one side off
and then with a razor knife
or utility knife
I'll cut that one side into a nice little point
using that point from the Q-tip
i'll put some paint on there
not a whole lot
and then
i'll fill it in
now your just going to put enough paint on there
just to get it above
the original paint
now you might have to do this
twice
cause what happens is the paint will shrink a little bit as it dries
so you might have to come back
and apply a second coat
so now I am going to take some 2,000 grit sandpaper
and we're going to wet sand
that spot that I touched up
and your going to do that till it is pretty smooth
now keep in mind that filling in these paint chips
it's not going to be like a brand new paint job
it's going to be really good
it's going to look good to the eye
but if you look really close you'll be able to see that
the paint chip was filled in
but again I mean its going to look fantastic, better than just throwing some paint on there
but don't expect it to be like 100% brand new paint job
you know what I'm trying to say
once your done sanding
all your paint chips
now it's time for the next step
next would be the 5,000 grit
I'm just going to hit all the marks up
all the areas that I just sanded
for the final step
I'm using Meguiars
mirror glaze
ultra finishing polish
it's a number 4
so it's not very very aggressive
so we are going to buff out those areas
so I am going to give this whole car
an entire buffing
we'll there is the car right there, its completely done
paint looks fantastic on it now
I didn't want to over correct it
that's why I did the whole car with the number 4
meguiars, instead, of the number 10
I didn't want to take the chance in over correcting the paint
or taking too much off the paint
I'm very happy with that
it looks fantastic
the touch up
looks great
I don't know if you guys can see that is where it was
here at the door and there was a spot here
so
happy with it
car looks goo, the only I got left to do now is give it a nice coat of wax
I'm going to give it a quick rinse
wipe it all down
and then
nice coat of wax
very simple to do touch up
and make it look decent
you all take care
God bless
see you on the next one
Bye bye
