The best rock chip repair video and result on KZread in my humble opinion. He did an excellent and clean job. Every other video I've seen the result usually has a crater/indentation after polishing. Don't rush it. He Bob Ross'd it for me. I have a lot rock chips though. I'll just take me time, wait til spring and hop to it without trying to finish quickly but finish thoroughly. StarFire pearl is one of the best colors ever crafted.

A very nice job. That gives me the confidence to have a go myself. Years ago I bought a black BMW that had a large paint chip missing from the bonnet. I think the previous owner had run under something. I made sure it was clean and then built up the paint using a chip repair paint with a brush. I ended up with a build up of paint higher than the surrounding area. I then used T Cut to take it down. Finally polished it and most people wouldn't have known it has been done.

If you have a washing solution that can do that, you might want to reconsider the long term effects of what it will do to your car's paint.

Just a tip I saw on AmmoNYC, Larry takes a hole punch and punches the sand paper, then glues the piece removed to a new pencil, on the eraser end. His idea behind this is that the eraser has enough give to allow the sand paper to reach into the chip, to clean up the jagged edges but also allows you to focus most of the sanding on just the chip. He also uses a syringe to lightly deploy the paint into the chip, until it's filled. The tiny needle allows it to move the paint around gently as well. Either way, good video, and very similar to the way he does chip repairs. It's great that people like you guys, go out for your way to not only share your trade secrets but show your techniques.

@cvrpov

Larry is a talented guy and has a great KZread channel. I've seen that video... a good while ago, I have perhaps tried the method at some point. I actually think my chip repair comes out better than his. I think the surrounding paint around the chip being leveled aswell helps the overall process and finish. Ok.. you are removing some clearcoat... but ultimately some Compromise has to be met when doing a repair like this. Alternatively there is always a respray.

I liked your video as well, rock chips suck and all hate them. I'm glad I found your channel to add to my rotation.

Fantastic job! Does the paint need to be thinned down to work with that method? The problem I have always had with leveling chip repairs is the factory paint is harder than what is being used to touch up. By the time you correct the 2k grit scratches out of the original paint, the chip is no longer level. I haven't used a heat gun to cure the paint or clearcoat on top of the color so maybe those two things would help. Great work - I need to give it another go I guess.

@cvrpov

I've noticed alot of people use 2000 to try and level the paint. This is a bad idea and usually just starts to sand down around the chip.. rather than the chip blob itself. On German cars I even use 1200 as a 1st grit. 1500 at least should be used 1st.
