Ok i admit it i don't have the eye for applying clear(paint)...or else i just don't have the lighting, i would prefer to blame it on the lighting, because really why would i blame myself for all these fricken runs.
.....that is the intro to me blowing way way to much clear on my newly flared car, mind you it looks great, but there are more than a few runs..er a lot but it is clear and i figure i have a polisher and mucho elbo grease. so i would like to hear your ideas on how to polish clear, (and runs and drips in clear if you don't mind....) and how long should i wait for it to cure in this cold weather....zero-ish step by step |

They may sand out just fine, but be careful or you'll sand into the color coat and then your SCREWED, I mean you get to sand it all back to base and reshoot it again. Don't ask me how I know.

Don't ask me how I know. The even shittier thing is is you burn through on one you still have to spend the time to get rid of each run with like 600 then 800. Unless you want to go to 240 and reprime, oh god Im re-living so many nightmares right now I am assuming you put a lot of clear on it but it shouldn't matter I used to do this with two coats(collision shit) I should say, the key is to razor first, If you try to just wetsand block out runs you will almost certainly burn through right next to them where there is a normal amount of clear. Make it flat with the razor then all you need to do is feather out those scratches, that is a the goal haha. |
