        Few tweaks but effectively stock. Going over two weeks without repairs... so amazing.

          another trick is to dry spray the fish eyes, and do an extra coat. Saves having to go buy extra product.

          fisheye eliminator dose work but effects the quility of the paint.

          Ive never had to use it yet... knock on wood! But that is probally cause i clean the car 7 times before paint and tack cloth between coats.

            this is some good stuff.
            anyone have any words about chipped paint?
            like if the tip of a fender is bent in at a 90 degree angle and the paint has cracked off it?

            how would you "feather?" it to blend with new paint, or would you have to repaint the whole fender?

              well, if you can reform it s it looks good, then i would sand the whole fender down and just start over. But for the price of a fender at a junkyard its probably not worth your time.

                i straightened the fender out. just didn't know if i can "touch up" the corner or not.
                took me forever to find a good black fender.

                  Just prime the spot where the chip was, after you smooth it out. Scuff the whole fender, and paint JUst where the primer is. After the primer is covered, go out around the whole are 2-4 inches and blend in the paint si its not noticable. You DON NOT have to PAINT teh whole fender. after that CLEAR the whole fender, let dry, wet sand, buff, beautiful!!

                    ok, now what about paint chipped off a bumper?
                    the bottom of my bumper has paint chipped off. im gonna be primering the car within the next couple days.

                    im using Eclipse writeup about filling the door dings.

                    another question, before i primer the whole car, what should i sand the car in?

                            Ok, how is painting with a gun comparable to painting with a rattle can? I painted a bunch of my interior parts with rattle can, and did fairly well, but the coat would be too thin for being exposed to 60 mph winds. Is it really comperable, or would I have to learn a new technique?

                              Rattle can paint won't atomize well and it will not be as smooth. But if you put enough work into it it can look very nice. Just make sure not to get a whole lot of dirt nibs in the paint and make sure you put a good 3 wet coats of clear on after the color and then wet sand with 1200 or 1500 to start and then bring it up to 2000 grit and then buff it. It will look great if you put enough work into it. If you have any other specific questions you can PM me. I am a auto body technician from Iowa and have a degree in collison repair. I myself am a painter. Id be glad to help with any questions you have.
