    If I didn't see this process with my own eyes, I would have never believed that chip was fixed with a squeegee! If was the owner of that Ferrari, I would be ecstatic at that repair! So glad I found your channel!
  • Recently sold my Mini Cooper, it had a lot of small chips and surface scratches around the front and bonnet, being BRG metallic really showed up. Was quoted £650 to paint, i went to BMW and got three official touch up stick's, and spent over 3 hour's touching them all in. Left overnight, same procedure with laquer, and left again. Borrowed my friends machine polisher, lightly flatted the area's with 2000 wet n dry with lot's of fairy liquid, and buffed, the results were remarkable, sold the it to the first viewer at full asking price. Thanks for these videos that gave me the confidence to carry it out.

    Even though I don't want to do any paint repairs this was one of the most enjoyable 16 minutes I've spent on YouTube. It's always a joy to watch a true craftsman at work.
  • WELL DONE ! I'm a retired autobody repairman, did this type of reconditioning for years. You know your ropes !
  • @Civic.
    There is a better faster way of doing this, instead of using a squeegee, use a paint brush to only build up the area where paint is missing and low. For a repair like this it takes a few applications to get enough build that is then followed by select sanding with a tiny block to minimise paint removal surrounding the repair area. Occasionally if the colour match isn't perfect, blending thinners can be applied and once polished you will not see the repair. When I owned my own repair business I often did these repairs for no charge in the process of doing other work because I could do them in a very short amount of time and it kept customers loyal to me.

    I have to say you have the best tutorials on paint chip/scratch repair I've seen so far on YouTube. I do like your advice in your other videos about tempering your expectations of these touch up repairs. Considering the time & expense of a respray, your methods & out comes are outstanding. Good show sir!
  • @selffarming7008
    Not many people would be brave enough to tackle the paintwork on a Ferrari. Well done this vid was a joy to watch. Content and skill level amazing. So pleased i found your channel. Just what i have been looking for. Top job.👍
  • @darylmorse
    Very impressive! Thanks for sharing this. I wish this type of service was more widely available.
  • @wrigleyfield9042
    I've been watching a ton of YouTube videos lately on paint chip repairs, and I have to say that there isn't anyone out there better than you. Very impressive! Cheers!
  • @DSTWizz
    Thanks for this. Given me the courage to tackle a chip on the bonnet on my 6 week old car!
  • @seancurtin5131
    Thanks for sharing again. It's a treat to watch a professional at work. Nice work.
  • @mundocpc
    Nice! I bought a cheap Yaris MK1 long ago and practiced tons of painting techniques on it. The one you used was definitely one of the best I tried. However, working on a Ferrari is really different, I would expect the owner to go after a perfect or almost perfect repair! Your results are really great.
  • @wayneshephard
    Nice job, one of the best instructional videos I've seen, no annoying background music
  • Impressive work sir. Having that amount of patience through the process has always been a struggle for me, but your results speak for themselves. Great work & I learned a lot watching. Thanks!
  • @awalk5177
    Excellent video, thank you. I have always been shy of trying to repair paint on quality cars, but this year I started to learn more about paint and finishing ready for tackling a small area on a Red Lotus. There was a good tip in here about the primer colour for Red, which I have now learnt, thank you. I wondered why it shows darker with the darker primer. There is always something to learn. The more you try working with paint the more you learn and gain confidence and also understand what grits and polishes to use when and how. The same method could be used for micro blisters I think.
  • @Tsuter1978
    This is great to see this technique. I always wondered if something like that would work. Sure beats dabbing in multiple layers and having to sand off a high spot. Well done sir.
  • @andycorb
    Brilliant job. I just recently found your channel and I am loving your no nonsense approach to these repairs.
  • Wow - I was one of those kids that used to put too much car body filler on dints and spend 2 days sanding - I can't believe the finish you achieved - I thought it was going to look terrible - it is imperceptible - amazing skill.
  • @bails1310fcjq
    Just received G360 and wet and dry for first attempt at stone chip repairs over the weekend. Your videos have helped and have the confidence to do it now. Many thanks for your videos.
  • @patrickallen5781
    Great job, I didn't even know this type of repair was possible until I watched a couple of your videos.
