This helped me alot I thought my car hood was cooked but now i realize i can just go up in sanding grits then I'll finish with a buff to remove the haze

Very nice video, but a side-by-side comparison would have been awesome, with one side of the panel sanded and polished, while the other one left as is at the beginning.

A wet on wet sealant, there all the same. Spray the sealant, let it flash then paint over it. Done like a da done done.

I agree; furthermore, it is actually advised not to use any lubricant from Kovax, because it will cause more clogging issues--these dry discs already have a substance on it designed for dry-sanding efficiency.

You’re trying to eliminate swirls and scratches which you can see when sanding. You only want to sand just enough to remove those. Don’t want to do too much that you eat through too much clear coat.

Normally a sander has a smaller orbit to a DA. The smaller orbit makes smaller scratches which are easier to polish out. You can use a DA but keep that in mind. 👍

How many coats of clear coat do you need to prevent sanding through the clear and into the paint?

@customspraymods

Жыл бұрын

2 coats of clear is about 80 to 100 micron thick. This takes off no more than 10. It’s only really levelling the high spots.

It doesn't work. You must have 7 coats of clear to help prevent breaking through. Just do 3 coats and do the sanding by hand with a fine grit 2000, it always comes out perfect.

3000 is over the top Finnish with 2000 then lambs wool then sponge pad lambs wool will get the 2000 scratches out

Sealer? Like what

No, it is NOT "fixed." You have removed some of the clear coat that is a protective layer to the base coat paint. Now the smallest rocks or debris will scratch and chip all the way through the clearcoat and base coat. You should have resprayed the clearcoat in order to maintain the same level of protection as the factory when the vehicle was manufactured.

Thats really not how it works, however, you are correct, manufacturers put as minimal paint as possible on so you really shouldnt be flatting and polishing. in fact, id bet to use 1500 sanding this its already been painted before. When respraying anything to a decent standard, 4 coats of lacquer then you can sand it back properly :)
