painted my car satin black and got talked into putting a flattened coat of clear on it when it got all done the paint was rough felt almost like bed liner I'm wondering if I can wet sand it and or buff it up a little to make it a little smoother and easier to keep clean.. Thanks...
I would be okay if it wasn't as flat but I don't want it regular gloss black..just what it smooth and a little easier to keep clean... Thanks..
Sand it smooth to yer liking......then go over it with a Scotch-Brite to "even" out the sheen.....haha!
Hey, My money is on the above suggestion to pull this across the line, unless you feel that a second round will yield improved results based on your skill level. The "Scotch-Brite" pads come in three "grits", the "Red" is like 320 paper, the "White"' bout 400 & the "Grey" maybe 600. I'd sand down the dry spray with a block or pad and some 320 Wet & Dry paper and follow it up with a "grey" pad sanded with mineral sprits (it doesn't dry very quickly as water would), and sand with lengthwise strokes, with the vehicle. No circular or cross hatching sanding patterns. This is basically how the stainless steel De Loreans were finished out in 1981! S****y Devils C.C. " Humpty Dumpty was pushed"
Should get a viscosity meter (viscosity cups) next time. With a number 2 meter the paint should run out in about 35-40 seconds, paint was a little too thick probably. But as far as the finish i would agree with pimpin paint, and go with the wetsand with 320-400 and then do the same with the finer grit scotch bright pad to smooth it back down. key factor here is the lengthwise strokes mentioned above. you wouldnt want it to look like some ***hole played tic tac toe all the way up and down the side of your car.
