How long is to long to put another coat of clear on a complete paint job?


Intrepid guy doesnt like a particular spot I was hoping he wouldn't see it any way I was thinking another single coat should fix it but has it been to long to wait?

Could I hit it with some 1000 grit wet and just spray another coat?
Or would this get me into trouble down the road.

You can always sand it with 1000 (coarser is better-600) and clear it.

Think about it, that's what we do on collision repairs all the time,
cars that are several years old, I scuff the adjoining panel and clear it after
partial color blend. That's clearing over a old clear.

Scuff and shoot it, like the old timer told you

Cool I was thinking it was cool but wasnt sure

I dont think I have any 600 might have to pick some up we or dry?

I do it both ways, lately with the coarser grits like 600, dry seems easier.
I wear a glove on my left hand and wipe as I go.
It really cuts fast and you can see what you've missed a little better
than useing water.
But for the finer grits, 1000 and above, water works better.
The fine grits clog to easy without water.

I personally wont go any more than 800 grit dry on a da. Mostly I use 1000 grit dry on an interface pad then go over the area again with a gray scuff pad and scuffing paste.. Never had a problem doing that on a blend.. I have also done the same w/ 800 depending on the color..

800 is my choice on a job like this too

i will third that

800 dry 1000 wet or dry 1200 + wet IMO


but clear we just 800 it

everyone is always scared to use an aggressive grit for a re clear.. Cracks me up.. dont be afraid. Embrace change boys.. Flow coats are not collision oriented so let me an my ole buddy Jim lead you down the dark side Let the force be your guide
