Ok, here is a pretty basic question that I'm wrestling with. I'm planning on painting my car myself. I have my test pieces that I'm learning on and I have a "down draft spray booth" in the garage. I'm trying to understand what colorsanding is exactly. Well, check that, I understand what its purpose is but my question is:
Do you sand the actual color layer? After you have laid all the layers or between each one? Or is the clear what you're supposed to be sanding? If it is the clear, how does that remove orange peel or drip marks? If it is the color layer, how do you polish out the sanding scratches before laying the clear? I'm so confused (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Thanks all, -- Steve |

If you are doing a two stage paint job ( color/clear ), there will be no sanding between coats. The clear goes on right over the color after it tacks up.
The sanding, which is #1500 and higher is done just enough to knock down surface imperfections. It makes the paint look free of waves and dust. The sanding must not go through to the next layer or you will be sad. I need to do mine still... KT |
