Larry, I'm a weekend warrior, detailing my own rides and watching your videos for several years. Your content, clear/concise explanation and video production quality is superb -- I realize this video is several years old and you've made many more insightful, quality videos since; I rarely post on any KZitem channel, but I just wanted to extend some appreciation and gratitude for 'You Being You' -- THX

This went very well with my perfectionist tendencies! Of course it took me two days for 2 tiny chips and after all that I came back to watch this video again to make sure I did most of it the correct way and of course it came out excellent saved me $700.00 bucks Thanks man! I’ve also purchased other things like a polisher and I’ve made it a point to make it a hobby of mine who knows one day I’ll just decide to do this as a side job & make some money out of my hobby! While saving people money!

He fails to mention that if using metallic paint you SHOULD NOT mix base and clear coat prior to application; it dilutes the metallic shimmer in the base coat making the color darker and ultimately not matching well at all. Learned this the hard way myself touching up chips using this method. Has to sand original attempt out and start over. Big PITA. So, don't mix metallic and clear.

I've touched up a lot of chips on my Civic over the weekend, many had surface rust. I used a sanding pen and some rustoleum rust reform to take of that and then added several layers of touch up from honda to all of them. It looks pretty good, hardly noticeable unless you look at it for a while up close or know they're there. Oh and I did everything with a #2 painters brush and a fairy steady hand. Didn't do any wet sanding or anything, it looks alright now and I've never done that before.

I have 2 small chips to deal with. One is not circular but quite deep. I followed your instructions and used an artists brush to dab in the paint and clear coat. It was very difficult not to get paint on other areas. However, I followed your advice about the wax. Just went to have a look and the paint around the chip came off really easily because of the wax. I can with confidence keep building up the paint and not worry about the surrounding area if I keep following this advice. Thanks.

Larry just nicknames it "Leveling Fluid" because that is exactly what it does. It is a fluid with small abrasive particles that, rubbed against paint, essentially level the paint down to a perfectly smooth or flat surface. Leveling fluid is more commonly called a rubbing compound or a compounding polish. It is almost a liquid version (if you will) of sandpaper.

I just discovered a tiny rock chip that is turning orangish in the same spot. What I plan on doing after the initial sanding (pencil eraser style, I like that one a lot) to remove the flaky bits of paint is to use an epoxy rust converter/primer. Does this make any sense? I am afraid I will not be able to remove enough rust before I start touching it up with paint. Have you thought of/used any sort of rust converters?

If your car has not been painted before you can use Lacquer thinner to remove the paint. If it has been on the car for a while you may have to let it soak in for a while and keep dabbing it. Why I say not painted before is factory paint cannot be removed with Lacquer thinner. If you had it painted then the paint will come off, Meaning not just the boo boo will come off. Lol

Well, that chip is still very visible, at the end. I would go other the area with alcohol, then go with a glass rod pen over the chip to make sure it's clean and level. Then, I would get the colorchip kit in there, let it dry, then level it with the Sealact, let it cure, and polish and seal. I've gotten way better results than what I've seen here.
