We have been paint repairers since 1989, therefore we, like all caring paint repairers, realise using car paints designed to be sprayed is a compromise repair. There had to be a better way to fix those common chips and scratches.
Our chemists formulated Du Magic Paint Gel (which utilizes latest technologies like nano particles) to our design based on the experience of 100’s of paint repairers who were repairing 1,000s of cars a week. Our research team started from the ground up – the aim was for a product that is simple to apply so that ‘everyday people’ could repair damage to near body shop quality within seconds.
The savings to clients of time waiting for the return of their car and money has proven to be substantial.
The benefits include much higher film build, slower initial drying so we can apply it accurately, later fast setting and extremely fast shrink, easy application exactly inside the damage for perfect blends, levels smooth .
The products low VOCs not only help the environment, they are also much safer than other car paints.
Du Magic Paint Gel withstands -10C (14F), so that it is suitable for air freight. For areas like Calgary in Canada that experience -30C (-22F) in winter, mobile repairers work in warmed workshops and store the product indoors overnight. They then store Du Magic Paint Gel in a fridge to stop the Du Magic freezing. Ordinary car paint would have major problems with those conditions.
For temperatures below 20C (68F) set the Du Magic Paint Gel repair with a hairdryer for 15 seconds.
In damp conditions conventional car paints can dry with a frost, blushing or blooming. This causes darker paint colours to dry white.
Our chemists designed Paint Gel so that it doesn't frost, blush or bloom. However in such condition the repairer must set the Du Magic repair for 15 seconds with a hairdryer on the hot setting or it may wash out with overnight dew or rain.
For hot days the car is best repaired in the shade. Our Australian technicians find their body’s shade means they still can repair outside.
We achieve the Ford, GM and Toyota repair standards for car rental companies like Hertz and Avis. These cars are typically 9 to 15 months old. Their standard is the car must still look 'like new' to car buyers from 1.2 metres (4 feet)”.
These inspectors have passed Du Magic repairs.
Yes. Our chemists designed Du Magic Paint Gel so that it dries slowly - this extra time allows professional repairers to manipulate adjust the paint. Normal car paints must dry fast to prevent runs however they provide little work time and dry lumpy or with brush marks.
Setting Du Magic Paint Gel with the hairdryer on 'hot' for 15 seconds per area sets the Paint Gel. Setting prevents overnight dew or rain washing out the Du Magic Paint Gel. Du Magic Paint Gel is only for repairing, follow the Du Magic Paint Gel instructions for a simple and easy way to restore a near respray look in only a few seconds. Of course metre or yard long scratches may take 2 minutes!
For faster repairs use the hairdryer on "hot' for 30 seconds per area. A second coat can then be applied for fast durable repairs. Deep damage will need need multiple coats to fill.
Yes, however this will lose the speed of the Du Magic ‘wipe and trim’ application system?
Well that depends on the number of chips and scratches on a car. We have repaired up to ten cars from just one tube.
Du Magic Paint Gel dries slowly for a higher gloss. Dark Du Magic Paint Gel colours still need Du Magic 'Extra Gloss.'
The goal for Du Magic Paint Gel is to create a professional repair finish. Few people spot the repaired area unless they are specifically looking for it.
Most Du Magic Paint Gel repairs take only seconds. The saving of time and product are why we charge so much less than auto body shop painters.
Repairing a chip or scratch is as simple as smoothing icing on a cake or grouting between wall tiles.
Yes – Du Magic Paint Gel can repair the cavities in the paint caused by bird droppings acids.. It fits in the damage perfectly.
Du Magic Paint Gel does not repair dents or rust.
All paints shrink as the solvent liquids evaporate. Our chemists formulated Du Magic for ‘maximum solids’, it retains about half its height. After application on deeper damage set again with a hairdryer on "hot" for 30 seconds per area. Then repair again to build more height.
The result is not like car paints that can continue shrinking for many months or even years. Instead, Du Magic Paint Gel was formulated to shrink mostly in 30 seconds using a hairdryer on the 'hot' setting. This ‘wipe, trim and set ’ process makes repairs to deep damage very fast.
No – the Du Magic Paint Gel does not run on vertical surfaces because it is so thick.
Allow to dry and re-apply the correct Du Magic Paint Gel colour into the slight shrinkage.
Yes. Du Magic Paint Gel can be removed with conventional body shop solvents to allow a full panel repaint.
Du Magic Paint Gel is water based which means low Volatile Organic Concentration (VOCs). Clean ups can be done in water.

Yes. Du Magic Extra Gloss initially looks milky (so you can see where you are applying it) then in minutes the clear glossy finish appears.
