I hope this will be my contribution to FTO Australia. As there is no guide yet to fix those annoying cracks and scratch marks on cars. I HAVE SEARCHED!

Any one interested or does everyone know how to do this already? If a few people are intrested ill collect photos and images of what you would need to DIY!

This DIY would cover :
Sanding -Different Types of sandpaper, filling
Preping - Primer, Prepsol, What Cloth to use, How to sticky tape, how big of an area to paint.
Colour Coating
Clear Coating

* will also be my guide when i post pictures and instruction*

Any Takers?

Anything which gives someone the ability and more important, the confidence, to tackle those little jobs would be good.

Go for it

+1 should be helpful!

cool sounds goods. hope everyone will like it!

I have an airbrush used for painting small models. I was going to have a crack with it at some of my stone chips, so would be keen to know more.

interested.

could you use it for key scrapes as well?

Cassf88- Yeh it would be possible to use for key scraps depending on how deep it in . Ill add a little section for Key scraps and Deeper Scratches in it for you. You would probably need and extra few items but that's about it. Such and Filler a sort of putty but instead of wood its for cars.


Eltnot- I was planing to use just the spray can but a friend lent me his air brush too so im going to use that instead. Should be easier actually from what ive been taught so far.

and one more question, what is your take on a 'small area'?

What do you mean? Small Area as in smaller Jobs at can be done at home. Only about 2 x the area that needs to be repaired needs to be sanded down.

Not big jobs like whole bonnets or the whole roof.

I'm planning to sand down 2 areas of the Side guard (picture two) or i might plan to sand a whole chunk of it.

if i may i'd like to point out that there is about a million professional paint & body repair guides on the internet

Im getting help from a professional! . just got the car yesterday. and i need change a few main things first before i get to painting it. DAMIT!!
