Did a little touch-up job to my daughter's Kia Soul. Someone hit and gouged the front bumper cover a month or so ago... No idea who or even where.
Start to finish took about an hour. Perfection was not even a consideration. This was simply a "make it disappear at 10 feet" repair. In fact, the paint I used wasn't even color code specific... It was a spray can of Rustoleum Gloss White Fast Drying High Performance Enamel that I had on the shelf. Sprayed it into the cap and applied with a brush. Color match was actually pretty close.
Far from perfect, but my daughter is happy.
Process:
- Trimmed away the raised material with a single edge razor
- Compounded the repair and surrounding area w M105
- Cleaned repair area with Isopropyl Alcohol
- Filled the gouges with JB Weld Quick
- Trimmed and leveled the JB Weld with a single edge razor and swab dampened with acetone
- Applied the touch-up paint
