Hey there

i just repainted my max and shaved a few things it looks rather good and i am impressed with my work for the first time. The problem is there are eyelets here and there if u know what i mean from dust or what not. will that come out with wet sanding and buffing, and if so what is the best recommendations u guys have. all the help is very well appreciated.

eyelets? u mean drip marks (runs)?
if u have runs then get a paint/nib shaver and it should scrape it off...considering it's just the clear that's messed up.

I know what you mean. That is a problem, and has to do with the mix of the paint, the coverage of the coat, and the cleanliness of the environment. Most guys in the business call them 'fish-eyes'. lol You can wet-sand them, if you want to clear coat over that and wet sand again. The trick to wet-sanding out fish eyes correctly is a cross hatch pattern. Good luck to ya!! I painted my car last summer and it was a pain. I'm going to do it again this summer (doing more body work).

fish eyes is mostly due to contaiments on the surface or the paint itself.

yea fish eyes is what i meant. what would u say is the best sand paper to use like 1600-2000 or what?? there are 2 drip spots also sooo.... the good thing is we put like 3 layers of clear.


let me know , thanks

You're going to want to put another coat or two of clear after you wet-sand. I had 3 coats of clear before I started to wet sand too, and had to go over it again. Don't worry about orange peel, you can buff that out if you wet sand it right like I told you to. The orange peel effect won't be nearly as bad if you get it like glass underneath the clear.
