1. dont sand through the clear or
2. dust the first few coats of base on over the sand through or
3. prime or seal the sand throughs or
4. spray an overeduced coat of clear before basing to lock it all down or
5. use hardener in the base so if you do have to redo something and do sand through, it’s less likey to get softened by the reducerand now you are saying to yourself, “its just a Colbalt. Should have left it” :compsmash
But it could be worse, You could be bloverby and it could be a bronco :deadhorse :whistle:cause you sanded through the clear on the edges and your basecoat wasnt hardened so the reducer softened the old base in the spots that were sanded through and that happened

[quote=”lild” post=22415]i’m pissed that he painted the fender off the car, and it still matched.[/quote]
Thats cause i dont use PPG :p
if you are sanding down peeling clear with 320 then you have a problem. :pcorn:
well the otherside didnt match…….. :whistle:
[quote=”smooth” post=22407]looks like a good job except for the blend on the pillar, i would like to see it a couple of years time.[/quote]
Ya you’re right. i should have dropped the headliner, took the roof rack off, took the taillight out, dropped the corner of the rear cover and cleared the entire roof rail and rt 1/4 :blush:Just wet sand if you are concerned with dust :pcorn:
well if he just sprayed the clear, no amount of buffing is gonna make it look better unless it gets sanded. its not like its old paint he is looking to restore.
also color sanding is not olny for show car finishes. Some people can apply clear with a grapefruit texture and color sanding helps to smooth it out to match existing finishesyes, you need to sand the clear before you buff it. as far as what compound is better… I prefer Meguirs 105
rust free car. just had some bad bodywork done to it at one point in its life. wavy as a mother. Not sure why he thinks I can do any better :whistle:
[quote=”smooth” post=22326]PPG is telling me that the DC2000 isn’t available in canada. WTF?[/quote]
they will need to come out with a low voc version. kinda like dc3010 and 4010
but it will still suck :roflNothing for nothing, but if you are opening a bodyshop and you dont know who supplies paint around your area, you are in big trouble :pcorn:
Good luck
BTW most paint manufactures websites have links to locate jobbers based on zipcode
