Frequently asked Questions about SSR (sprayless scratch repair)

"How long does it take to do a normal job?"

We did the hood and bumper on the car in less than 30 minutes - keep in mind we were talking alot and visiting with the dealer during the process.

"By looking at the "before and after" pictures, it doesn't look like the touch up paint being used ever has metallic it in."

Those pics are terrible quality, they do have the metallics as prescribed in the matching paint formulas.

"Are there any "magic potions" like thickening agents or some other shrinkage solutions?"

There are two additives in the premixed paint, then you add an activator. The paint looked good in the chips on the green metallic - there was some shrinkage I'd say first pass was close to 80% filled, then if you want more on the bigger ones just re-do those.

"Is the compound anything special or just relabeled 3M or something?"

The compound is said to be the a key ingredient for the results. Heat from the buffing helps to cure the paint and make it permanent. The chemicals in the compound react to the chemicals added to the paints.

"Does this  SSR starter system have the activators?"

Yes, the starter system comes with all you need to perform scratch repair.
