Sprayless Scratch Repairs - an example

Tim_Burgess · 20th July 2010, 15:24

I don't know if this is perhaps the correct place to post this, but I thought I'd post up some pics to show members what's possible with my SSR System.

Here we have a Silver Toyota Yaris that's argued with a car park bollard. It's worth noting that silver is probably the most difficult colour to repair successfully:

Once the damaged area has been cleaned it looked like this. Note the vertical cracks in the paint where the bumper deformed: when I saw this I decided to do the job by hand, rather than use a machine to buff off the SSR paint.

SSR Paint applied by hand and pushed in to the scratches. The paint is specially formulated to dry in under 4 minutes, In very warm conditions it is ready to buff with the SSR polish in under a minute.

Up to 4 coats of SSR paint can be applied / buffed and this is the end result. A very acceptable repair in under an hour and at a fraction of the cost of re-spraying the bumper.

And a couple of the complete car:

Not the prettiest car in the world is it

Thanks for the kind words chaps.

Indeed, sure they are good cars but definately not my cup of tea

My parents have a Yaris! Best part is noone but the driver can see the speedometer, so no back seat driving.

The scratch repair is great!
