Ordered a safe and it came with a few scratches the company sent some touch up paint if I use this will I have to dilute the paint? Tom

For me, it didn't work as well without the reducer. It just makes it easier to ger a smoother spray.

No it does not. Most scratches will disappear without the paint touch up. Really deep scratches all the way to the primer may have to be touched with the touch up color paint that you can get on E-bay or your dealership for about 6$ small bottle with a brush. The code color is on your car on the driver door frame most of the time. But like I said most of the deeper even scratches don not need the paint since these days the manufacturing companies put up to 7 layers of paint and 2 layers of the clear coat.

I Don't know either. This really doesn't eliminate scratches, it's seems safe to use as soft polisher. I agree with the other comment.

I just received mine yesterday and unfortunately, the sticker was there. I tried scraping it off with my nail, but it seemed like I was just pushing the sticky residue around instead of removing it. SOLUTION: I ran the area where the sticky residue was under hot water; then, I scrubbed the residue off using an abrasive, soapy sponge. I was worried it would discolor the stainless steel, but it looks fine! Note: I'm not sure if this would work on the colored ones as it might scratch the enamel, but it might be worth a try!

Hi,The paint job is pretty good--I would expect it to be fine as long as it didn't stay wet too long. There was a strong chemical smell when it arrived--left it out since then and it's gone now.

Depends on what you have. If your paint is faded or in bad shape it wont matter. If your looking at a new paint job, it adds depth and gloss to your base color. For a touch up for scratches you'd want to use clear to blend in the repair. I don't however recommend this brand for anything other than small repairs. IT has to much reducer and Flashes (dries) to fast. Normally a fast drying paint is what you want but this stuff is drying as soon as it leaves the gun.

I have had it for a year or so and it work well. Be careful what cleaners you use as mine mottled, and I am not sure what I used. I was able to scrub most of it off with a green 3M scourer but it does show the scratch marks. I think this was more my fault, than the fault of the manufacturer. Otherwise, very happy with it, and no issues.

After the 30 min bake in I would use the paint in a few hours. Later that night of painting I check the mixing cup and it was allready skinned over 12 hours later. Also open hardners have a short shelf life. I wouldn't use an open container past a few months

I would spritz it with water and let it soften before trying to remove, the paint should be alright. As always, apply a good coat of wax after using the polishing compound.

You will see when you use it that the paint has a very thin consistency. Brush marks should disappear.

Zerina, I'm not sure how helpful this info will be but here's what I would try. First, are you using the back up key because the batteries are dead? If so have you tried plugging in the external battery pack to get the safe open? I'll also assume that the key you are using was tested and did originally open the safe? If it was never tested at the time of installation I suppose it is possible you simply do not have the correct key and perhaps could reach out to Protex with your serial number to see if a back up key can be ordered. Not certain if they can do this. The only other thing I might try is to gently push on the corners of the door while turning the key. I had to do this step with my own safe the first few times as the bolts seemed very snug when extended. Because of the snug fit, it felt like the key wouldn't turn but as soon as I gently pushed the door while turning the key, it opened right away. There really should be very minimal resistance. Only happened to me a few times at first and I did apply a dry lubricant to the bolts and have not had a problem since. Good luck.

Mine came with protective film on all of them. If there are no scratches on it then I wouldn't worry about it. As long as the adhesives seem ok. If not, contact the seller and ask for new ones.

Mine got a little tight, I may have put it away wet and caused some rust. I lubricated it lightly with penetrating oil, worked it in for a while, and now it works as good as new. If you're worried about food safety, you could try the same with mineral oil, but the penetrating oil is thinner and will be easier to get it worked in.

Here is their contact info. I would ask them directly. (I have rust spots bleeding through my paint from last year, but chalked that up to not getting it all off, and having spray shooting up underneath from puddles.) http://bondo.com/contact-us

Man I'm sorry to hear that. If the key scratch goes through the clear coat I don't think this will help. This is for the spider webs and swirls you see in the sun in your paint. I don't know if you have a buffer but I would start with a more aggressive polish (V34 or V36?) on the orbital and work your way up. If you don't have a machine find a detailer. It would probable be cheaper that way and he will do it right.

is does not removed any scratches it colors them where it won't be noticeable trust me it will make it look brand new

The paint will fill the scratches to some degree but I would recommend roughing up the surface, particularly the scratches, before applying the product. If the scratches are very deep, you may need to fill them prior to coating using an epoxy filler such as Bondo and then roughing up the surface with sandpaper followed by the ArmorPoxy Bath Sink and Tile Kit.
