General Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 well it seems whenever i add a new coat, little bubbles keep forming, and these bubbles form little holes which are really anoying and hard to get rid of. so my question is this. after 4 coats. can i sand, put the last coat on. then put on the clear coat? I plan on sanding the final product with 1500 grit then using a buffer rubout the paint for a mirror finish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 bubbles? hmm. make sure that your surface is COMPLETELY clean. also...let the paint dry for at least a day before sanding it. and don't sand the clear coat. it won't look as good. just after about 3-4 coats of clear coat, wait for it to cure (about a week or so) and then get a good car wax, and wax that paintjob down.

kobalt Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Agreed for the wax, wax formes a film on the paint that fills out the tiny imperfections of the paint (not craters lol) and it'll give a more brilliant finish than paint alone. Mothers is the one i use, but i heard that turtle wax came out with a better one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 well a buffer is used to remove scratches so after i sand with the 1500, i will buff it all out. I got rubbing compound and i have some welfare . wax at home im gonna use after Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
