I run a small shop myself and there is nothing wrong with this at all. Realizing this was likely a tight budget type repair. People would walk right by this car and not realize any work had been done. Well done Jimmo!!
After watching this video I've come to the conclusion that I won' t be able to do a paint job anywhere near as well as you. I don't have the paint booth, equipment, patience or skill. Especially skill! lol I'm in Thunder Bay and you're in Oshawa. Can you come up here and do it for me? lol :)
I say, this is, with all honesty, the absolute best tutorial for painting a car panel! To the point, thoroughly instructed, and with spectacular results!
Almost 10 years in the body shop industry... This is awesome. I am starting these types of repairs with a buddy as well, and this is exactly what we wanna do.
Thank you.I had a really deep scratch down into the plastic on my wife's RAV4. I've no experience of working on bodywork. I followed your tutorial to the letter. I'm delighted with the result. You saved me a lot of money, and I'm surprised to say, I really enjoyed the process. Thank you again. Stuart York
I am not a painter by any means, but this video has helped me time and again achieve professional-like results on my small repairs. I’ve been referencing back to this video for about a year now. Thank you so much for sharing!
I found this an excellent instructional video, the fact that it is a metallic paint is even more interesting, the age of the car is a deciding factor as was mentioned about matching panels as some fading depending on age is almost unavoidable. This one came out so good, thanks for sharing this with your spray gun fans!
Dont worry about negative comments, you'll have people who spend alot of time critizing your work...and only have knowledge of criticism. Great Video. Good for people on a budget.
this is selling paint. I don't know about this brand, but I've used duplicolor whatever and the base and clear are near impossible to get a good lay down, it runs, spatters, fry's and all sorts of defects. And basically you'll spend the amount in paint can's to do-over and over by the time you learn a method that works with the crap can's that you could of went out and bought a decent airgun and did it that way. I mean the base coat and clear spray out like a spray bottle, not a mist. You try and get a good matching coat with a spray bottle, type spray.
@@marshalcraft I've used the spray max 2 part spray cans and they atomizer way better than regular spray cans. Most people want to know what products are used in diy videos. If you attempt to do a repair like this with regular cheap spray cans, you will have a hell of a time matching his results.
Did this on our Jeep Wrangler’s fender flare as it had gotten pretty dinged up (3 deep scratches) used some glazing putty, then the rest of the instructions here and it turned out looking exactly like it did from the factory. Thanks for the best video out here, from a fellow Ontarian.
Watched your video fixing a scratch and clear coating on Chrysler 200 many times in the last 2 week's.So today did the left rear quarter on my 65 barracuda,came out great thanks.
Sounds good, will it last just as long as regular auto paint? I'm also worried it will ir have different tints which seems to happen even when the colors are supposed to be the same which is why pro painters mix all the cans of paint into one big batch.
@@marcushennings9513 Bro he explained it in the video. Pro painters still blend paint because paint matched is never 100% the same, it will be a shade off. So you just blend it on the within the pannel. As for as long as auto paint he is using 2K products so it should last more than normal cans.
I have bought an old E36 BMW as a project car, it is Artic Silver . It had quite a few dings and scratches but no rust. I have used Aerosols to do the job and have found these new paints ( base coat and clear ) are amazing ,I am very pleased with the results.
Wow that spray can attachment really did make the difference in can and spray control. I never knew they were so effective and next time I'm painting my car I'll be sure to pick one up :)
Lots of comments about the extent of repair done for such a scratch. The point is that this is the CORRECT way to have an entirely like new surface. This is how insurance companies expect a scratch to be dealt with, vs just sanding and polishing a scratch area, or bs'ing with touch up that will always be noticeable and detract from the value of a vehicle.
Couldn't agree more. Iv'e had a car that was in an accident with deep scratches and all they did was sand and polish so it'd look good temporarily as I picked it up. After a week or so it looked like the work had never been done. This is the proper way to repair.
Well I think it's a damn good job! Great instructions and the colour variation that some others have mentioned seems to me to be just light reflection/shadows. Greetings from Australia.
Simply Brilliant! You have cut all the BS from the "pros" and make things much easier for the rest of us that are just looking to make our bitted up cars and trucks looks better
I have a whole 2001 white Chevy Malibu LS roof to do, so this is very informative and to the point. I have put it off, paint peels off (prob from sitting in the sun, second car, we don't use much but want to keep) and it peels down 'to the core.' Big job? Never did anything like it before. Was supposed to do over the summer, too chicken!
Just finished my car body work with two of these Spraymax cans. I painted 2 quarter panels and 1 bumper cover + a lot of other bits (rocker panels, mirror back face) with 2 cans and 3 coats. Went further than I thought. You have to apply them wet to get the gloss - but not too close. It's pretty forgiving.
Took me several hours to get the "diy". Then in a fragment. But diy-ing isn't for everybody. However, time cannot be compared to any THING. Whereas money is the medium of ALL transactions.
I came to this video because I wanted to see how well this 2k aerosol clear performs compared to having to mix up clear and use a spray gun. I'm a spray painter by trade and I was astounded at the sheer stupidity of a small amount of the comments about this video regarding the amount of work that went into one small scratch. That IS how a scratch is meant to be repaired and re painted the proper way and would be repaired that way in any decent smash repair shop (usually minus the aerosol can clear coat), and that''s where the costing of the entire repair job comes from. there are multiple procedures and products used to properly repair even small scratches. Anybody who thinks the poster of the video went to extremes or thinks smash repair jobs are ripping people off by painting panels when a repair on a small scratch should only take a few minutes .....is a fucking idiot. Good video mate!
Raef, my experience with the 2k aerosol clear (Glamour Gloss)? It shined and looked better than a new car fresh off the lot! It went on so nice, great nozzle on the can, it looked wet when it dried and I didn't even have to wet sand and buff! Now, here's the bad part..... I don't know if it's because I sprayed it on top of Duplicolor brand base color or what. It lasted over a year on my mirrors and door handles so, when I had to do a front fender and front bumper later on, I used it again. This time, I also used it over Duplicolor brand. It wasn't even 3 months later and the clear started to peel!! a couple weeks later, my mirrors started to peel (Say a year and a half total) and door handles look like they may start now. I'm looking for answers as I plan to redo the fender and bumper in the coming week. The paint shop told me it was how I prepared it but, I'm not buying that! I was very OCD in the process and don't think it would have lasted as long as it did if it was in my prep. I bought and going to try the duplicolor clear for engines to see if it is better than the regular duplicolor clear. The one for engines has ceramic in it. I'm saving a lot of money doing it myself but, at $25 a can for the 2K, it should last and not ever peel like it did!
+Jason Mitchell there are many factors that can affect the finished product or its longevity. Clear coat Delaminating from base coat can be be a result of two products not being compatible (it's doesn't happen often, but it does happen)...for example using duplicolour and a different brand of clear. Furthermore a flash off time that is too great between base and clear can also cause clear to peel, as can clearing over base that has been sprayed on too dry. The last reason and probably the most likely is that those clears in aerosol cans aren't going to be the same quality as a clear that's mixed up and used in a normal smash repair environment. They generally don't have the same hold up to UV and the elements and could have played a part in the delamination . Hope that helped a bit
Raef Noble, are you saying that if you let the base coats dry (then perhaps wet-sand , or if the spray is uniform enough no sanding is warranted), then apply the clear to the dried base, this can "cause clear to peel"? Second question is what is a base that has been sprayed on too dry? Does that mean the gun or can is held too far from the work piece, or does it mean that not enough paint is being applied per coat, or perhaps both? I will look around for a video(s) on painting one-oh-one to try to learn how before I undertake my bumper cover. Thanks for any replies
Jason Mitchell 2k cans don't last more than a few days...that's the point. The hardener makes the clear good, but means the remainder of clear in the can is no good after at max a few days.
The people who think it's overkill or a ripoff are the people who ram other people's cars or swing their doors open like their car's on fire. A car's paint has to deal with rain, salt, scorching heat, freezing cold, UV and infrared radiation from the sun, all sorts of organics (tree sap, bird poop, bug guts), flex and deformation of the substrate (sheet metal or plastic) while being impermeable and protective at while being insanely thin, look good and last for 10+ years. Is it any wonder why it's so costly? Yeah sure, you can buy some rustoleum and clear coat from Home Depot and it'll do the job of keeping your panel from rusting (for a while), but then why ever spend $30k on a new car anyway? Just fork over $2000 - $3000 for a mechanically sound, weathered/banged up Toyota and it'll do the job of getting you to places comfortably and economically.
Excellent job man!! What people do not realize is that once you have to paint a panel, it has to be the whole thing. Just touch it up looks horrible. I rather stay with the scratch cuz the scratch does not stand out as much as a touch up. I am going to paint my whole car this way!
Awesome job, that looked great when you were done. Question, if I may. My hood is oxidized pretty good, it looks bad, the rest of the car is fine for 20 years old. I've been using 1500 grit wet sandpaper and it's looking better. The car cost me $2500 and it will be going off-road, so spending a ton to fix it isn't what I want to do. Just make it look a tad nicer. would it be better for me to keep trying to get the oxidation off, or just respray the entire hood and clear it? Thanks in advance to any and all who reply.
Eric Bauer hey did you end up sanding the oxidisation? I'm in the same situation with my r33 and not sure if i should respray it or try remove the oxidisation (or fade if it is)
The techniques shown here are correct, however, I don't agree with doing this for a single scratch. No matter how you finish the panel, it will never be factory and I'd rather live with a touched up scratch than a reworked panel.
Well with my car most of the paint is intact, it just needs the clearcoat, but I would probably repaint it anyways since some of the paint would have worn down from at least UV raise
...thanks for the tips, it really helped out on my car BIG time...I'm a noob at this auto body tech, but I think I'm doing well. I wish I can show my progress right now. Thanks for the info.
The wife painted our Mazda B2200 using nothing but spray balm, in the driveway about 18 years ago. The little truck used more than 10 cans of Auto spray balm, was mono chromatic blue and looked so SWEET that within 3 months 5 other little trucks showed up in our little town with the same paint job. Wife was both impressed and disappointed. Impressed that her work was loved enough others copied it and disappointed that her work was loved enough that others copied it. It wasn't unique anymore.
you can tell that it's not original paint by the difference in reflection, that part you painted definitely sticks out in sunlight. Covering up the original scratch with a micro brush would have looked much better in the long run.
No....... If you Got a steady hand you Can use a 0,3 airbrush to top up the scratches then sand the overlayer away with 14-1500 sandpaper with plenty of water and then finish of with some 2k top coat and polish☺️✌🏼️
How expensive are those 2K aerosol cans? Since you activated the primer can, doesn't that mean you wasted the entire remainder of the can? Thanks, great video.
@@ChadMutt good idea. Since it's not water based I'm going to stick it in the freezer. Probably won't explode. Otherwise it's a bit of a wast for a 25$ bottle since I'm only using a bit ever now and then
You may NEVER wet sand on primer, autopainting 1 o 1. Reason is that if you go through the primer you the metal or bondo works like a sponge and sucks all of the moisture in and the metal will then rust and bondo crack
Uhm that was a pretty childish thing to say. But do what you want to. Worked as a car painter for a good few years in Denmark and i know how to prep and spray a car proberly. But again do what you wanna do.
Kim is correct, I don't see why you have an issue with what was said. Wet sanding primer has no real place anyway, it's the base and clear that need to be smoothed that much. If it's a small patch that you want to blend in - as per this video - dry sanding is fine, it doesn't use up that much paper. From experience I know all too well that the primer lets water through, and then keeps it there rusting away and you don't see it for a few months. Sucks. Just got rid of a bunch of work today because of it.
Thats a fantastic job from a rattle can, something worth mentioning when spraying with rattle cans is when they get low they can spatter a bit so be careful when they start to empty out.
well this video inspired me to do my eng bay before the new eng is going in and I'm using the same products . sorry no doing videos but taking lots of picks love ur videos
I followed this video and repaired and spray painted the fender, had a very good result. I would recommend you believe in yourself and go for it. Just remember to take your time and wear a mask.
You actually can't. The spray pattern nozzle with most paint cans does not allow this. Notice his spray can nozzle is in fan shape. Which is exactly the same as professional spray gun nozzle. The trick is the nozzle. If you have that nozzle, you can get professional results easier than regular spray jet patterns.
HORNET6 Look at his spray pattern. Its a special nozzle. Very likely one that is used by graffiti artists. You can't buy those kind of pattered nozzle spray can off your regular hardware store. You can spray your car with a spray can that looks professional. But it takes considerable skills to do it. And that special nozzle for even coverage.
In fairness he did say that the trigger nozzle attachment was about 10 bucks and freely available. The guy is giving all the tips he can so we can all turn out a good job, yet everyone seems to want to bitch and moan at him. This vid helped me no end.
good video. i have a friend who proved to me you can get the same job from a can as you can a gun. hes been teaching me. im blown away what you can do in a garage with a few cans and some wet sanding.
Make sure that you don't use Dupli-Color clear coat spray can they are crap. Even if you manage to make a good finish (after lots and lots of wet-sanding) once the birds come and shit on your car those shit will burn right through that clear if it's not thick enough.
My kid and I are painting his car. It's been a learning experience. Dark grey hammered roof, hood and hatchback. Navy blue color. Rust-Oleum clear...3 coats.
Great video regardless of the topic. Great in that the info is clear and without BS, just about the job. I know how to do a hack job and have touched up many of my cars in the past. They looked great at a distance of 20-40 feet. I don’t know how to do a good job so the video was very informative. I’m about to touchup my car and will follow the steps in the video as they make sense and not a lot of extra time compared to my prior hack jobs. Thanks for a great video.
Masha'allah, excellence in what you do, you are definitely a believer, i have learned a lot from you, and now am going to dive in your other videos to learn and become like you, excellent job.
thank you man for your video,im very excited to follow your instruction,,to fix the dent,thank you so much and god bless you and more power to your business,,
Love the Spray Max products. Was sad when they stopped selling the production clear tho. The adjustable spray nozzle is a great addition compared to your standard aerosol can.
Thanks for sacrificing your car to show us how to paint with aerosol. Im working on my Truck , rear fender flare totally rusted out so am using fiber glass to repair and rebuild.
I run a small shop myself and there is nothing wrong with this at all. Realizing this was likely a tight budget type repair. People would walk right by this car and not realize any work had been done. Well done Jimmo!!
I agree. Looks perfect!
Hands down the best paint repair video with aerosol cans that I have seen.
After watching this video I've come to the conclusion that I won' t be able to do a paint job anywhere near as well as you. I don't have the paint booth, equipment, patience or skill. Especially skill! lol I'm in Thunder Bay and you're in Oshawa. Can you come up here and do it for me? lol :)

Good luck. That clear does not lay down properly when spraying large areas.
Good job and great video Thanks.
Right, exactly
just used spray max 2k to paint my fender. came out great. Also works as a permanent fix for yellow hazy headlights.
Thanks for the excellent video, this is a step above everything else I've found online.
hi thank you for the video. Does this spray paint works for plastic bumper? If so can you send me a link to where you get your products from please?
very informative its a great job to DIY for small scratch in your car
I learned a lot from your tutorial. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Amazing results. Thank you for the tips.
legend has it he removed the transmission to repaint that small area
🤣🤣🤣

That Was a really Great Video, I enjoyed it working with Spray cans...I learned a lot...Thanks
What kind of mask/respirator are you using when you spray the 2K aerosols? These (clear coat at least) definitely have isocyanates in them, right?
pwk879 I'd like to know as well
Sam Brumley Me too
The techniques shown here are correct, however, I don't agree with doing this for a single scratch. No matter how you finish the panel, it will never be factory and I'd rather live with a touched up scratch than a reworked panel.
seephor Yeah I don't know if they intended to mean that's what you should do for a small scratch or just how to use the can.
seephor ..when we refinish a panel it's exactly like factory ...you must have had some crap paint work done
Ofcourse its never like factory.
factory was shit to begin with, just do it like he shows you that's the proper way to repair it
Well with my car most of the paint is intact, it just needs the clearcoat, but I would probably repaint it anyways since some of the paint would have worn down from at least UV raise

The wife painted our Mazda B2200 using nothing but spray balm, in the driveway about 18 years ago. The little truck used more than 10 cans of Auto spray balm, was mono chromatic blue and looked so SWEET that within 3 months 5 other little trucks showed up in our little town with the same paint job. Wife was both impressed and disappointed. Impressed that her work was loved enough others copied it and disappointed that her work was loved enough that others copied it. It wasn't unique anymore.
you can tell that it's not original paint by the difference in reflection, that part you painted definitely sticks out in sunlight. Covering up the original scratch with a micro brush would have looked much better in the long run.
LOL thats why you polish😉
And a Brush WTF😳
morten jørgensen yes
No....... If you Got a steady hand you Can use a 0,3 airbrush to top up the scratches then sand the overlayer away with 14-1500 sandpaper with plenty of water and then finish of with some 2k top coat and polish☺️✌🏼️
And Yeah if its a Metallic you Can se a little difrence in the tone but if its a "old School" normal (RAL) its eazy
a brush or a pen is fine
im painting a body kit. does this still apply
why? does your body kit defy the laws of physics?
Im impressed! Thanks for the info and video. Hoping to try these techniques soon.
Kudos! Beautiful work & narration. Thank you!
How expensive are those 2K aerosol cans?
Since you activated the primer can, doesn't that mean you wasted the entire remainder of the can?
Thanks, great video.
keep it in the fridge
im in Alberta and they cost around 30 bucks or so. and if i remember once activated the can be used for a couple weeks .
Dana Wick Gotcha. Pretty pricey for a little repair, but makes sense if you use it a lot.
@@ChadMutt good idea. Since it's not water based I'm going to stick it in the freezer. Probably won't explode. Otherwise it's a bit of a wast for a 25$ bottle since I'm only using a bit ever now and then
You may NEVER wet sand on primer, autopainting 1 o 1. Reason is that if you go through the primer you the metal or bondo works like a sponge and sucks all of the moisture in and the metal will then rust and bondo crack
Uhm that was a pretty childish thing to say. But do what you want to. Worked as a car painter for a good few years in Denmark and i know how to prep and spray a car proberly. But again do what you wanna do.
+Kim P yeah I say....Lier!
Kim is correct, I don't see why you have an issue with what was said. Wet sanding primer has no real place anyway, it's the base and clear that need to be smoothed that much. If it's a small patch that you want to blend in - as per this video - dry sanding is fine, it doesn't use up that much paper. From experience I know all too well that the primer lets water through, and then keeps it there rusting away and you don't see it for a few months. Sucks. Just got rid of a bunch of work today because of it.
Painting my 2004 sti wing and trunk metallic gun metal with 2k clearcoat tomorrow so pumped
Thats a fantastic job from a rattle can, something worth mentioning when spraying with rattle cans is when they get low they can spatter a bit so be careful when they start to empty out.
imagine investing money into fixing a chrysler 200

well this video inspired me to do my eng bay before the new eng is going in and I'm using the same products . sorry no doing videos but taking lots of picks love ur videos
I followed this video and repaired and spray painted the fender, had a very good result. I would recommend you believe in yourself and go for it. Just remember to take your time and wear a mask.
How to Paint Cars with Aerosol Spray Cans.....you cant!!!!!
I stand corrected!!!
You actually can't. The spray pattern nozzle with most paint cans does not allow this. Notice his spray can nozzle is in fan shape. Which is exactly the same as professional spray gun nozzle. The trick is the nozzle. If you have that nozzle, you can get professional results easier than regular spray jet patterns.
He just did
HORNET6 Look at his spray pattern. Its a special nozzle. Very likely one that is used by graffiti artists. You can't buy those kind of pattered nozzle spray can off your regular hardware store.
You can spray your car with a spray can that looks professional. But it takes considerable skills to do it. And that special nozzle for even coverage.
In fairness he did say that the trigger nozzle attachment was about 10 bucks and freely available. The guy is giving all the tips he can so we can all turn out a good job, yet everyone seems to want to bitch and moan at him. This vid helped me no end.
If you buy color matched paint from auto stores though it comes with a fan nozzle.
Man. The Guys just showing you the correct process to follow.
I like how you talk through the video -- you answer questions that I'm thinking as I watch.
Thankyou. You've given me the confidence to have a go on my car. Volvo v60, roof and both rear quarters.
good video. i have a friend who proved to me you can get the same job from a can as you can a gun. hes been teaching me. im blown away what you can do in a garage with a few cans and some wet sanding.
Great videos I like how you stick to the topic and explain everything in full detail without a bunch of extra commentary
Make sure that you don't use Dupli-Color clear coat spray can they are crap. Even if you manage to make a good finish (after lots and lots of wet-sanding) once the birds come and shit on your car those shit will burn right through that clear if it's not thick enough.
My kid and I are painting his car. It's been a learning experience. Dark grey hammered roof, hood and hatchback. Navy blue color. Rust-Oleum clear...3 coats.
Great video regardless of the topic. Great in that the info is clear and without BS, just about the job. I know how to do a hack job and have touched up many of my cars in the past. They looked great at a distance of 20-40 feet. I don’t know how to do a good job so the video was very informative. I’m about to touchup my car and will follow the steps in the video as they make sense and not a lot of extra time compared to my prior hack jobs. Thanks for a great video.
Great cardboard trick. I'm gonna check out water base cleaners. That's always been my concern using solvent cleaners. Great video thanks.
Thanks for the encouraging demonstration!
Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge

I like the fact you covered feather blend.
Nice trick with the cardboard 👍🏾 I have to try that . Great job!!
Wow, GREAT video, thanks!!! 👍

Love the Spray Max products. Was sad when they stopped selling the production clear tho. The adjustable spray nozzle is a great addition compared to your standard aerosol can.
I like the cardboard blocker great idea..👌 same thing with the plastic
