Key Repair-Step by Step Procedure

[richy]

It looks fantastic, You are really providing a service with your posts. Keep it up......Thanks
Now when you used m105/205 did you just do the panels you wet sanded or the whole car. And are you using the same spray gun for thr permanon and the opti.
Thanks again

For that car, I did a one step with DG swirl remover for the rest of it. 105/205 were just used in the repair area.
I have a smaller spray gun for the OB. The Permanon I use a big one like what you'd use to paint a car.
And thank you!

Darn, wish I hadn't forgot about this thread.

I assume this would work the same for rock chips? Im in the process of opti-coating my car. If this works, I would love to do this before putting on the OC. I have only coated the roof and hood so far. Right now I am doing the directions for dr. colorchip(all it does is color the chip, very little if any filling on larger chips).

***Update***


Moving to how-to articles forum group.

Recently a new forum member wrote a similar thread to this one and while I try not to play "Forum Moderator" on AGO because that's not my job and we have Moderators to do this job, I did take it upon myself to make the below thread a sticky and move it to the "how-to" articles forum group.

Here's the thread,

How to fix a deliberate deep key scratch


At the time, I also intended to locate Richy's thread on this same topic, (this one I' posting to right now), and move it out of the Show & Shine forum group to the How-To articles group and also make it a sticky. Richy had asked me to make it a sticky a few days after he posted this thread and I told him I was unable to do it because I normally defer that to Moderators.

This morning I found a PM from Richy asking me if I lied to him and I told him the same thing I've posted above and that is I don't normally make other people's threads stickies but defer that to Moderators on this forum.

I also told him after making Velco's thread a sticky I figured it would be the right thing to do to also make his thread a sticky and move it too but like a lot of things, I didn't get to it that moment as I stay very busy on the forum and that was just plain unintentional

I don't like like drama on forums but instead like to practice transparency. I'm also not going to make it a habit to make other people's threads stickies and requests for this type of function should be sent one of the Moderators.


If you read post #28 of this thread you'll see I wrote this,

Nice how-to and write-up Richy,

I meant it when I wrote it and I still believe it to be true today. In my reply I also added some tips to help others that would attempt Richy's process into the future.


And as Bill Murry said in the movie "Stripes"


That's the facts Jack...

Thank you vet.

And, thank you Mike for your transparency. We both want to help people on AG and I believe we compliment each other's efforts. Thanks again.

Great work.

I had a quick question about a stone chip in the size of a pea that is chipped down to the primer on the top part of my rear passenger door just below the window. My question is I have a factory pearl type paint job on my 2000 Acura TL (pearl white) and it has 2 stages of touch up paint...1 white and then the 2nd is the pearl, so do you sand or buff out the paint and then apply the pearl and then sand and buff the pearl as well or???

BTW, this is my first venture into this, but I am looking forward to conquering this little issue!!!

Thanks, Mike
