    How to remove paint transfer + Dr. Color Chip Repair

    How to remove paint transfer + Dr. Color Chip Repair



    ***Update***

    Due to a schedule conflict, we're rescheduling this topic to next week.

    New time and date - Friday, August 21st at 3:00pm Eastern Time




    ATTENTION

    On Friday, August 21st, our special guests from Dr. ColorChip will be here to share tips and techniques for rock chip repair.

    We will also address if and how touch-up can be done to large scrapes and scratches in the paint.


    Last Friday we did a LIVE Instagram video showing the correct method to remove impacted paint transfer.

    Re: How to remove paint transfer + Dr. Color Chip Repair

    Continued....


    Here's what I'm talking about, after removing the impacted paint transfer, we have these large areas where there is no longer any paint.





    We started here and your eyes are instantly drawn to the white paint transfer.




    We removed the white paint and it looks a LOT better - BUT - we're going to take the results a little further by color-matching some Dr. ColorChip paint to cover over the BLACK bare-naked areas on the urethane bumper covers that no longer has any factor paint on it.




    When I do these types of repairs the first thing I do is to,


    Lower the customer's expectations


    Most people or most car owners do NOT know what is and what is not possible by doing this type of touch-up paint repair. It's my job, and your job to educate them.

    IF you cannot educate them to have real-world expectations then do not take the job and recommend they take their car to a body shop or collision repair shop and pay to have the front bumper cover re-painted. This will cost them and easy low of $200.00 and for a really nice repair over $300.00

    For those that cannot justify putting this much money into a repair job for a car that is now 5+ years old, (that's probably most people), then getting what you can from a simple touch-up is a lot better than nothing or the repaint route.

    BUT - it all starts with setting your customer's expectations so they are REAL-WORLD.


    What is real-world in this example? Good question and here's the answer,

    When you stand 10 feet back away from the car and you're eyes are NOT drawn to the repair - that is real world.



    What is unrealistic?

    If you get on your knees and put your NOSE against the paint and then say,

    I can see where the touch-up paint was applied


    That's NOT real-world and the owner will be much happier to pay a body shop to respray the bumper.


    Make sense?

    Looking forward to seeing the Dr. Color Chip put through the ringer on an area that large and how well it’ll fill it in.

    I remember we used this kit at the roadshow on a white mustang and it turned out great. Also was extremely easy to use compared to some other methods(those nail polish brushes or marker types are severely lacking!)

    Re: How to remove paint transfer + Dr. Color Chip Repair

    My neighbor recently got a new Ram Warlock, black on black, and it’s got the matte fender flares. He scrapped the side of his garage one morning and there was white paint transfer on the fender flares. I didn’t want to take a compound and pad as I thought that would make it glossy, so instead I used a mixture of fine and medium coarse clay mitt with ONR as the lube. It did the job, but was that the best method for that type of paint?

    I'm not a matte paint repair expert and I don't know anyone that is.

    Sounds like you got lucky and if it looks good from 10 feet away and the owner prefers what you did as compared to paying to have a body shop respray the fender flare then I say,


    Success!

    Dan McCool, the President of Dr. ColorChip and a true EXPERT at this type of painting is going to come to Autogeek tomorrow and work with me to see IF this volume of missing paint can in fact be repaired.

    He told me that the type of flexible urethane used as the underlying panel for these components on cars can be difficult to get good adhesion, in that large of any area, that will hold up over time.

    It's usually BEST to take this extensive volume of damage to a body shop and let them do a proper repair and then CLEAR over it.


    BUT - we'll see tomorrow.



    Hang on.....
