I think it depends on the PPF brand that is use, if cheap one, it will turn dark due to heat or just like my other vehicle, the plastic kinda chip away.. it didnt burn but it chip away 🤣

PPF is abit more expensive, i got.mine for 600 (door handle and dppr edge), CeramicPro include a free PPF for side mirror, headlamp and door handle (but i already installed so..)

Guys. Any jalan to get permanon diamond?

Dont see sellers selling any in lyn anymore eh

Hi all

Any recommendations for leather seats and also interior care?

Read back latest 2-3 pages of this thread, got talk about interior care.

Sigh, just noticed this damage on my bumper (while washing it felt rough). Its not obvious as it is on the bottom side, but I wanna touch it up. Any tips? gonna get the ezy touch up paint, i need to sand it a little after i paint it right? Cause it is showing the base black color of the bumper already.

I think I kinda scuffed it when driving down those multi storey car park probably =/. Only on the left side sigh...

Don't go for the ezy touch up paint. I would rather call it mess up touch-up paint.

just dry sand with 800 then wet sand with 800 grit sand paper. Use filler if you have the skill. Buy a color matching spray paint, and a 2k clear coat spray paint. You will need to buy a premixed clearcoat with reducer if you want it to look 99.9% like never touch up. spray the new and old paint adjecent part with premixed clearcoat. Anyway, since it is bottom you might as well skip the premixed clearcoat.

That's the latest Honda Civic right? I have a similar scuff on the exact same spot, lol. Think mine happened when I went down a very low curb outside my house and the soft suspension bumped down and bumper scratched the curb. I havent done anything to it yet, but plan to probably sand, filler and touchup paint it when I feel semangat, hehe...

Thanks for the tips! On the side note... damn sad at the moment ._. So unlucky I scratched my bumper this morning when driving out T_T. Walaoweh ytd found this below (no big deal...) now got scratches on the bumper cause of my mistake tsk...

And I ordered ezy touch up paint... I'll experience with the bottom part first =/.

If I don't use filler, means I need to paint until it fills up the gap right?

Side note, where can I get these spray paint? Any reliable source to get them from?

Can these scratches fixed without repaint? Left the car overnight at SC, after collect found out these damages appear when doing regular car wash.

Try to polish with a Micro fiber cloth and see.
It doesn't look deep though, so should be able to

Will try, but gap between the door and fender is not equally flat like the other side. The door edge is more inwards when put finger over the gap whereby the other side is flat.

Mmm, paint is not meant to fill much. A proper filler is better as u can fill, then sand flat before touchup. I think the common filler for deep car scratches is Bondo, which can be found in ACE hardware. The filler paste is red in colour.

As linkin182 mentioned, try using a microfiber cloth and some compound or polish cream to rub and see if it disappears. Since your lower fender and door is not flush, then perhaps it is best to polish that edge with your door open.

Is this the product you referring to? https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/company-us/all-...=8711351&rt=rud

Hmm, need to hunt from Ace Hardware perhaps... do you by any chance know how much does it cost?

Yes, that is the one, but sorry I dont know how much it costs. I only remember seeing it in Ace Hardware and kept it in my memory in case one day I needed to buy it.

Arrived home, first thing was to do damage check.

Bad


Close up, the bumper material seems intact, maybe I could skip the filler and go for paint?




And the car which I rubbed against (wife's ride...)

Try feel the parts where the paint has been rubbed off if the surface is rough or still smooth. If rough, then maybe abit of fine spot sanding would be best before touching up.

Well no paint can fill up scratches even a light one. You will need filler to do the job but filling up scratches is not easy job. It needs a lot of patience and skill. Another easier way is to sand down the scratches until it smooth to touch (yes you will need to sand it until bare surface).

As for paint colour, look for aikka. I get mine from seri kembangan. They sell color matching spray paint in a can. What I do is I will remove the fuel cap cover for color matching purpose. As for 2K clear coat, I always use samurai 2K clear. When come to clearcoat with reducer, I'm not sure if anyone selling clearcoat with reducer locally but I get mine from China. Clearcoat with reducer is good if you are doing spot repair.

Edit: The picture shows the area which has been sanded down and patching and feathering for 3 times and still not ready for painting . It took me about 6th correction to get it 100% smooth.

Think I bought it for 40+ at bukit jelutong ace hardware years ago. I don't get from Ace Hardware anymore due to cut throat price. I get mine from China these days.

The black areas felt smooth, which I think the paint basically peeled off. The areas with damaged felt rough though, need to do some sanding. What grade would it be? 1000? 1500? 2000?

I'm thinking since my damage area is smaller than the one you've shown... I will borrow friend's mini air brush (which he use for figurines) for these areas?

On the side note, patching = filling, feathering means? Guess I'll use this as a lesson and hands on experience... will try on the lower areas first haha.

Could you share how did you get it from China? Is it available through Taobao?

I tried to ask a few paint job shop... tsk, they said if touch up = free (but touch up means use brush...). Respray = RM300~RM450. So I'm gonna try touching up myself... if don't work, down the road i'll respray.
