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 |

Edit I said 2-3 coats, that is only if you use Spies Hecker or Glasurit. Any other brand should be 4+ coats. Spies and Glasurit are extremely high solid content hence the price and quality. 2 stage paint is best sanded the day after shooting it, that way the clear is soft enough that it is very easily sanded but set up enough not to pull on you.Waiting more than 3-4 days on 2 stage will make it pretty tough to get out all of the sanding scratches.
