I was also thinking of doing it myself..... but after watching this my determination level has gone more up that I'll spend some more money and get it done at my dealership.😅😅😅
It's just better to leave it scratch than having a square shaped patch
Leaving a scratch will invite even more
He didn't know how to use the product, i also used this product in the past and it perfectly hide scratches in my honda amaze
Bhai pura video dekh le sagi ho gya last me
I think he didn't follow correct procedure
He is an amateur in this. Very poor workmanship.
A painted auto body parts will have three layers, primer, paint, and the clear coat. If you happen to scratch your car, if it's white steaks you're seeing, then don't go ballistic with painting. Remember, clear coat is similar to a layer of epoxy. This layer if scratched mildly, loses a small bit of the surface which is the white powdery residue you see on freshly scratched door or bumper. This scratch is an easy fix and needs only touch up to restore the sheen. The touch up involves 3M rubbing compound and an orbiter with felt pad. 5 minutes of compound buffing + 3M waxing fixes these clear coat damages aka. white streaky scratches. The rubbing compound is an aggressive polisher which at 300 RPM smoothens the surface to make it mirror-like. Thus restoring the gloss.
But If you see black at the spot where scratch has occurred (in the case of plastic bumper), it means clear coat+ paint+ primer is stripped. If the scratch is on the metal door or metal parts in general, the deep scratches will leave the shiny metal exposed. Both results are result of deep scratches that cannot be restored using the method I described earlier. In such cases, you will have to mask the surrounding areas and first step is to sand down the spot and areas around the damage to bring evenness in the surface. Then apply the primer and allow several hours to cure. before dry sanding the excess. Once you feel confident there isn't uneven surface, go with the exact paint used on the car. You only need to remember the name on RC card or invoice. For instance there is a slight difference between diamond white and oxford white. Pick the paint wisely else you'll end up with odd spotty paint. Nippon is usually preferred by auto brands, you can also go with ordinary spray can brands if you're not too bothered about quality or if you happen to own an old car. Then, placing the can 12 cm apart from the surface, start from outside the masked area and follow a sweeping pattern L-R; R-L; L-R; R-L. While doing this, make sure not to stop in one spot too long. After the first coat, wait a good few hours. Then repeat the step to complete the second coat. Then, the third after 12 hours. Finally, let the paint set for 24 hours in a clean environment. The final coat is a clear coat which can be applied as a single coat or 3 coats by spacing them hours apart. Then after a good length of time has passed, use 3M wax and buffing pad to get mirror finish.
If anyone is wondering why quality paint jobs are costly, remember this. If you rush the paint, you'll never achieve 50% of the factory gloss. A proper paint booth is a hyper clean environment with not a single stray lint in the air. The room is controlled in terms of temperature and moisture. This is very important to get the most perfect finish. In home environment, it isn't easy to achieve especially if you live in a dusty Indian condition. This is why most roadside Indian paint booths only achieve about 75% of factory finish after repair. You can't blame them for the sub par work because the environment is mostly contaminated by dust, lint, and average airborne pollutants which degrade workmanship quality. So to future DIY'ers keep this mind. Your paint outcome is decided by humidity, airborne contaminants, and then lastly your approach. This is the only difference between INR 2000 and INR 40000 paint job. You're mainly paying for environment, high-quality paint gun, high-quality paint, and high-quality compound. Rest is the same everywhere. There is no special approach that is unique to high-end paint booths that a DIY-er can't replicate.
Very nice detailed reply. I just scratched edge line of my new car's bumper at bottom. White paint is stripped off and at the scratch end there are paint flakes, so I believe it is deep scratch. But not able to understand why the inner layer that is exposed after scratch is silver white colour, when bumber's are plastic made ?
Could it be possible that the silver paint is from whatever object that made contact with your car's bumper? Sometimes, when you collide with objects or vehicles, paint can transfer from one surface to other. In my old car, I had a green streak near the fender, which came from an autorikshaw. 15 minutes of vigorous rubbing helped me get rid of that stain. For car bumpers made of fiber, the bare surface is always black when you strip away paint clearcoat and primer. So 100%, it's not metal that you are seeing unless it's a vintage car that has a metal bumper.
@Sobin16 Mine is 2023 i20 :) And no accident else I would have doubted of that rubbing colour. Only possibilty I can think of is the road side curb where I may have turned little more towards curb. But then also why that silver white colour is smooth and even. So can that colour be because of primer+clear coat? So that it has not scratched till black plastic of bumper?
@mihirpanchal7325 Normally, clearcoat is colorless because it's a resin meant to add gloss and shine to the surface. If it is scratched, it leaves a white powdery residue like when you scratch a plastic ruler with a blade. The primer on the otherhand, is usually grey due to cost reasons and some luxury brands use black white and red variably to match the color. Since you say it appears silvery, my reasonable guess is it could be a thin layer of honeycomb fiber to reinforce the bumper and withstand curb rashes.
@Sobin16 yes i think should be fiber then. Thanks for these replies. Will see what can i do as it is very thin line though long, thinking of "smooth with sand paper > apply scratch filler putty > again smooth it > apply top coat > finish with rubbing compound"
You have done a great job. During applying the sandpaper 400 we can use a piece of flat wood or ply to make even impact.
Yes. Absolutely
I did it on my tiago berry red. Paint matched superbly. But the finish remained Matty. I followed all the instructions 100%. I emailed the results and told them send me Paint spray with glossy finish. They washed their hands off saying it is my fault. I suggest not to go for this if you want 100% original finish.
Same my experience for matty finish
Get the buffing done. Then it will match the color.
Polishing might be needed after painting
ep 400 is a pre sander, after filler you should use ep 2500, The correct method. Spray can should be 12 inches away while spraying.
Good try..I have learnt how and we're and when should paint 🙏
I also tried it on my Grand i10 nios 4 months back. I was kind of okay with the results as it was me who could not do it correctly though i tried my best. I believe its a good product if u dont want to visit workshop for small scratch and love doing stuff related to your vehicle.
Which color is ur nios?
@@vikasmalviya7862 Aqua Teal
Does the color match to original? And what about the shine?
I understand that some amount of professionalism is required in these tasks even if it's a DIY kit
@@vikasmalviya7862 Yes it does but when you learn from your mistakes.
You still did a fantastic job to curb the damage...i used it on my white nexon and immediately realised this kit is no laymans job...maximum people end up ruining their car...fucked up kit.
True. Needs skill patience and time
The scratch was more gorgeous 😁
Bharath i tried simple solution just use filler wait to dry. Then use nail polish to cover the scratch n then apply clear cost spray. Its effective and give better result
From where did you got filler?
Included in the kit
One thing, will it last how long? I means it's permanently removed scratches and perfectly matched or after sometime it will look mismatch the colour ?
Permanently be there
Masking was done wrongly ...thts why u can see the newly painted area lines and also rubbing was not done properly.
I think paint is not match , otherwise you have done a great job . I did for my car , paint was great match and output came excellent.
really good try bro..
but the paint spray did not match your car colour.. I bumped into your video while checking other com-paint related. thanks for sharing
Bro, use masking tape, this gum residue issues will not be thr
WHere I can get this Kit in Bangalore?
Watch mr vishal sharma's video on com paint channel. He has shown elaborately how to mask and paint....it would have turned out better at first shot...
I followed these steps for test. Paint is matching but surface is not smooth even after com cut applied . After 6hrs I wet sanded EP2500 but it made paint faded. Now sprayed the com merge again. Mine is black color.
How is shine or does it look mattee?
Shine is shining. Not Matt
Is this applicable for white paint as well ?
@@mahasriram make sure you mention car model and year to match the color. You may probably not have issue with matte issue, benefit of white color.
You are supposed to mask the areas which have a different colour.
A simple touch up with a pointed small brush will made this whole process easy and effective
If you know so much, why don't you make a video and demonstrate.
Hundreds of videos are in the youtube itself.
My aim was to test the skill level needed. Can't gauge without trying
@@tnoc-tamilnadunexonownersc2458 kudos for your efforts brother.
The exact same scratch happened on my cars door by a dog hit.
I found your video while searching for the DIY work for that scratch.
Firstly Kudos to your effort.
The issue with this kit - and what makes the finished result sub par is not your workmanship but the kit itself
1. lack of clear coat
2. The rubbing compound barely has any bite.
The shine comes from a well polished even layer of clear coat.
Now To get back that shine ,
step 1: just apply any 1k/2k clear coat with a paint brush on original scratch only
Step 2: get that door compounded , polished at your local experienced Detailer .machine paint correction with proper pad and cutting /finishing compound will bring that gloss since all that blemish is sitting on top of your thick factory oem clear coat. Hand based correction will be tiresome to say the least.
Do wax later on to maintain that finish .
My two cents as another diy-er
Can this be done for white Color. I own a white Nexon XZ+
Yes
Learned from my experience never squre mask small areas.. Mask the tyre, glass, light areas, work up on tje area close to the scratch, merge is not clear i guess it dissolves the paint applied and slightly orginal paint, i think i will by clear coat spray from other company.
Will this colour matching work on foliage green nexon??
Yes. It'll work mostly. Won't be 100% match though
is the surface rough after final finish, mine is still rough after all the process, could you please let me know should I again spray com mergers solvent spray.
No
Smooth
@@tnoc-tamilnadunexonownersc2458 u mean not smooth
No. The finish is smooth
@@tnoc-tamilnadunexonownersc2458 Thanks. Actually I used the Banna spray which color matched exactly, but surface is rough. I will try to use com merger solvant for shiny finish
I was so excited to use this product on my car but after watching this I have understood, I would screw up the paint job. So I would rather get the paint job done by a professional.. 🙏
Useless product as most of us wont be able to achieve a desired result. I used it on my car . Took me a full day . The result i got was not good as the paint looked different and left rough marks on the surface . I looked worst than before so i had to spend 2 hours getting the whole paint off my car body with thinner .
You could have filled it with paint only
This product is only worth to buy if your cars colour is white.👍😊
Do not EVER use WD-40. It is a penetrative lubricant, and will damage your paint.
Sir, this would've been much easier if you'd asked your local detailer to tke care of it.
Brushed my harrier against the parking wall this week, front left part of the bumper. Major scratching. ASC quoted a reasonable 6k to get it repainted. Much better imo.
White car is always better to remove scratch...
While process was a mess, even the starting was wrong. Masking is done after the filler is applied and rubbed.
How to fill car holes... please reply
Thru welding
Sir please help me how to buy the kit

Instead doing this when you have such scratch use nailpolish. Find the shade that best matches your car or try to mix different shades to match the colour. Then use a thin art paint brush which you can get at a stationary shop and apply 3 coats on the scratch. Then finish it off by applying a layer of clear coat.
Total cost approx : 150 rupees
Result : Not like the oem quality but quite satisfactory.
Hope this simple trick helps someone like it helped me on my tata nexon foliage green.
The motto was to try out com paint
Problem is not with him not knowing how to putty sanding.. Problem is with the filler paste.. the quality of the putty filler is too bad.. i have tried this before.. you will need to use a good quality putty filler paste..
I tried and failed badly... 😎 Now it is worse than before.
how is this good, i would be happier if there was just filler. Try all this in white cars , i had a figo kinetic blue where i used com paint, had to paint again at dealership
Many people have got better results. My apartment is windy and also o had sone family issues at that time, So couldn't concentrate. I myself of confident of better results if I am in a better situation
@@tnoc-tamilnadunexonownersc2458 I said the same. My poor Ford kinetic blue Ford figo.if you ever crack the secret let us know. I had luck with my honda brio white.
The defect looked better than the fix
How to screw up your car paint
How much for the whole kit?
Mentioned in the video
Lol you made it worse.but kudos for the try.
true 😂😂😂😂
I had constrains like mentioned in the video. Secondly my mistake will serve as a guide for others on not to make this mistake
I appretiate all your videos but this video dissapoint me. These com-paints are garbage,used the same color as yours on my nexon output was utterly rubbish. Better spend at local touch up center rather than wasting money on this third class product.
how to fuckup what is already fuckedup 101.
Bad to worst my friend, dint do proper sanding and your clear coat was dripping.
It was just a minor scratch initially u made it worse
The scratch was better 😅
Just screwed up the whole door.
pahle chote gajah me scratch the ab pura kharab ho gaya
Lol your car was looking way better before your compaint....🤣
Can't learn without trying
You did not apply body filler properly
Second step you should remove excess of body filler completely
It seems, the guy is not following the procedure. Applying his own idea.
It was me. Followed to the letter. Still results are average
Price??

This such a sloppy job. There are multiple problems with this.
1. Body fillers are for dents and scratches that are so deep that they have penetrated the metal to chip off some of the top layers. In this case it was just a regular deep scratch that probably only just penetrated the base coat or primer. A simple sanding and respraying would have sufficed.
2. Too much application of the filler and the complete filler wasn't sanded of. We need to always run our hands through it to get a feel of the surface.
3. If you wet sand a filler (which is not necessary). Give It time for it to completely dry off before you start applying paint coats as trapping the moisture in would result in paint bubbling/fish eyes or peeling or even worse rusting.
4. Apply every coat gently and at least 10 feet apart. Rather than applying the whole coat at one go use multiple small sprays 5-20 mins apart. This would prevent rundowns and allow it to properly cure.
5. Not masking during clear coat as it overflows to the matte plastics.
P.S : Also masking with electrical tape? There are masking tapes out there for dirt cheap. Also that's not how one should mask. The tape has to run all the way along the border of the newspaper.
I would go and claim for insurance. Same price and new doors what I will get! No stress to do such type of work.
Painting will cost 4000/- at least. If opted for insurance, I'll lose no claim bonus.
Also I am DIY guy. I want to try it out, before I recommend to others. I am also an automobile enthusiast.
@@tnoc-tamilnadunexonownersc2458 purpose of paying insurance is for to claim only , no claim bonus is abt 20% i think so no benefit in that
Learning experience was very good.
No workshop one can match factory paint. If scratch is small thn such DIY is fine. But then instructions to be followed completely.
Paint job is not covered by insurance . You have to break your door with a hammer or something 😜
If it is a new car don't try.
Don't do this at home on your own.
U made a big patch 😂
Bekaar main kr deya car ko apne
Ek practice ho jayega na. Next time achcha kar sakunga
Dont buy this.Orderede silver got grey.not responding from their side
You messed it up 😢
Thanks for showing not to try this product
Not match color
Failed
Nothing wrong in experimenting. It's just a car door not kidney transplant.
Appreciate your efforts
Don't understand why some are going Ga-ga over this
bahi puri gaaadi barbad kar dii tube to
Your way of masking is wrong
🤣
Congrats for ruining the Half of entire door panel..
full wastage of money,not at all matching colour .my exprience
😂😂 car painting walo ka dhanda band Karo ge kya
It looks worse than before
This was done to show that some skill is required and this is not an easy DIY
Instead of spending 1500 rs in this useless kit.get it done from professional painters
I did it to try out the results
Bad work.
Totally Wrong
Main bhi aise hi galat kar diya tha ...baad mein sahi kiya painter se...but yeh com-paint wale process jitna easy dikhta hai utna hai nahi...
So conclusion is...you better go to a skilled painter as the kit is also costly as 1000/-.Isme aur 500 ya 1000 daal ke kaam perfect karao painter se.
Please don't do instruction video if u don't know properly wat u r doing🙏.
Faults at ur procesures
1. Should properly stick papers edge fully with masking tape or painters tape ( otherwise spray paint will go inside newspapper opening)
2. No need of applying putty or body filler for that hairline scratches , till 1mm deep, just sand it flat. Otherwise your putty and painted surface will be not level with company painting
3. For wet sanding u should dip entire sandpaper on water, the water is used as lubricant to not cut paint too deep. Just wetting edges of paper is risky that non lubricated part wil make contact and make deeper sanding
4. Don't paint that much paint on first application, just need to make 5% coverage on first coat that is just to make 2nd coat stick perfectly
5. Should not hold the spray can too close, it will make it runny.
Blaming on wind , that's y on the first place it is recommended to sorround the painting surface with newspaper, and u just stick edges of newspaper leaving out open spaces on centres.
What instruction was wrong
@@tnoc-tamilnadunexonownersc2458 ur entire procedure and entire step have big mistakes.
@@tnoc-tamilnadunexonownersc2458 I am not disrespecting ur urge for DIY . But u should have watched some serious DIY painting videos from experts other than watching this paint companies 2-3mins video which is just made to make it look simple and should've tried on some old items before going on to it on ur new car. That scratch u had first was not that much of deal first of all, a good car polishing guy could have easily fixed it with a good DA polishing machine 80-90% and make it invisible.
@@djjithujab Great explanation. The guy did ruined the experiment but I believe lesson learned.
I was thinking of fixing my scratch but now I will research more. :)
