Tech Session
Scratch & Ding Repair
July 24, 2010

This past Saturday, Tony Mitchell led an information packed session on how to repair paint flaws such as scratches, chips, gouges and peeled areas so that the repair is, for all practical purposes, undetectable. Tony discussed various types of paints with and without clear coats. He also discussed the various types of products available for paint touch up, as well as sanding and buffing products. The practice vehicle for the session was Tony's pick-up truck, which offered a plethora of paint flaws for us to consider. After demonstrating the proper techniques for wet sanding and power buffing, Tony generously let the rest of us attack his truck. All participants had the opportunity to get hands-on experience making flaws disappear. Everyone went away with better understanding of this useful skill. Many thanks to Tony Mitchell for leading this session and to Gary Dyer for once again letting us use his garage.

Members in attendance were:
Mike Glass
Sam Dibitonto
Duncan Nelson (Sam's guest who we all tried to talk into joining - we hope to see him again soon)
Harry Keast
Tony Fakonas
Dave Minedew
