How To Apply Touch Up Paint To Your Car

How to apply touch up paint to your car.

Touch up paint is not only used for enhancing the look of your car by hiding imperfections, but touch up paint will protect your car from rust since the touch up paint will cover any exposed metal.

Thanks for all the loud music in the background. It's very easy to hear you speak.

I would not use water when sanding down the rust, even if not visible there will be small amounts of water in the metal. The spot will keep on rusting over time after the paint has been applied due to the moisture stuck under the paint. Rust needs either oxygen or water or both to keep on developing. Using water when wet sanding will most likely make it boubble up after some time.

Why oh why do people insist on having music on an instructional video

[Transitional-Authority]

All these people bitching about the music you can hear him perfectly. I’m sitting here singing the lyrics to the song and I can still hear him.

When you sanded it before applying the paint, the area around the chip was dull and scratched. However, when you applied the paint, all of the dullness/scratches has gone and you were suddenly only had the chip to paint - why?

Guys elwhat can we do if someone inhaled this paints scent with no ventilation? Does it cause dazyness or something worse?

[sephiroth]

Is touch up paint recommended for a door ding with slight paint transfer? Someone hit my passenger side

[deeomalley]

Why did you not show the sanding of first touch up paint?

[seofelite]

Why do so many people slap this shitty music on their vids and so LOUD?

[ywzhou]

I never did such work, but I think it could be better using a tool called 'Sanding Pen' instead.
And music is too loud.

Started with a small chip....sands all the clear off the roof....are you ok?

[fishface]

do you lighty sand the stone chips that are slightly rusty?

[uptownphotography]

I have a 1/2 size (slightly bigger) rust spot where the paint flaked off the car hood down to bare metal. It's smooth metal, but starting to turn a rust color in spots. Can I use rubbing compound to remove the rust before I paint it with touch up paint. If yes, will Isoproply alcohol remove the compound so that I can now paint it. Thanks....

I would prefer to use that rust gel remover instead of sanding. It usually works instantly and then you don’t need to worry about sanding.

[FroztiProductions]

Should I do this on scratches? I can't tell if the clear coat is thin or not since the car is old an abused. Idk if simply buffing is a good idea.

[joeybrioso]

What grit of sand paper you used to smooth after the base coat? I have a black tundra and Toyota dealer gave me a 2 paint . A black base coat and another clear coat with glitter. Can I also sand the base coat to smooth it out before I put the 2nd paint?

[harnas]

Once the rust was removed you had a bare metal to work with hence I can't understand why you overlooked applying the primer first ?
