Painting over small fractures in the clear coat?
I want to paint my car and there is small 1/4 inch fractures all over the clear coat of the car.. is it safe to just sand with 400 over them and while they are still visible primer them and paint over them? or will they come back to haunt me in the futurePainting over small fractures in the clear coat?
Go hardcore,get some Aircaft Stripper and take it down to the metal, then prep it and do it correctly,
If you paint over cracking clearcoat that junk is gonna keep on cracking regaurdless of how much sanding you do,, unless you take it to the metal. Then prep,primer and paint properley.Painting over small fractures in the clear coat?
yea man i wouldnt worry bout it...just sand it and check the fractures thoughroughly to make sure they are not there anymore...if they are give it another light sanding and it should b good
I hate clear coat paints,they don't last like the old enamels. If it were me I'd strip it,primer, and buy enamel paint,at least 3 coats.

Refinishing my electric guitar, what type of final coat (clear) should I use?
I already sanded, primed, and painted a guitar my friend loaned to me, but wasn't sure what type of final coat I need to use. I used metallic blue paint as my paint, woodgrain is not visible.Refinishing my electric guitar, what type of final coat (clear) should I use?
Clear varnish like ';Man o War might work. Also, check with the paint salesman, I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.Refinishing my electric guitar, what type of final coat (clear) should I use?
Check and see what kind of paint the blue was. If it is acrylic or lacquer then the best thing to use is Duplicolor clear lacquer spray from an autoparts store. It is transparent so the color won't change and cures very hard. Here's how you do it:
1) Allow the color coat to cure at least 7 days.
2) LIGHTLY wipe guitar down with a tack rag (also available at an autoparts store).
3) Spray the clear according to the can directions. You should use at least 2 BIG cans- allow about 15 minutes between coats, and continue with the coats until you use it all. Hang in a place where it won't be disturbed.
4) Wait at least a week, then wet sand with 600 grit paper. Use a sanding block on the flat surfaces.
5) Tack the guitar off again and apply one more can of clear, then wait at least another week.
6) Wet sand as above with 600, 800, 1000, and 1200 grit sandpaper (don't skip grits!), then polish with rubbing compound THEN with polishing compound.

The scratches are pretty noticeable and I have tried turtle was and nu finish scratch remover.What is the best product to get out scratches in your car finish - scratch is in the clear coat?
First some questions...Will your finger nail hang in it? If so, Probably need to have sanded out and painted. If not, Try rubbing compound from your local automotive paint jobber. It may require using a buffer...Try going to a local bodyshop, Most can tell you pretty quickly, But chose a reputable shop. Not a backyard butcher shop. Call an insurance company claim dept and ask for a reputable shop in your area. We do this for free as long as it does need painting, Customer service type deal.

Does buffing your car in order to remove swirl marks lessens the amount and quality of your clear coat?
Any kind of buffing or cutting polish removes top coat.
You also have to be very careful on sharp edges and corners were the paint is thinner than on a flat panel.
If you machine buff these corners you will be down to primer in no time.Does buffing your car in order to remove swirl marks lessens the amount and quality of your clear coat?
Yes, buffing does remove a very tiny bit of clear coat but doesn't really affect anything. Just don't overbuff and burn the paint.Does buffing your car in order to remove swirl marks lessens the amount and quality of your clear coat?
Buffing your car shouldnt lessen the quality of your top coat at all.. to get rid of the swirly marks i would cut n polish it first then buff it... will give it a nice over all finish.

Using a blended fiber towel to dry the car off after a car wash, using a car wash with brushes, improper drying methods.What causes swirlmarks to get in a new clear coat paint job?
the car was most likely improperly buffed at the paint shop. uncured paints scratch easily and leave swirl marks. most shops only cover up scratches and not completely remove them. try contacting a 3m rep in your area and they can give you guidanceWhat causes swirlmarks to get in a new clear coat paint job?
dirt. either in the paint or on the cloth that you are polishing with. It can also be caused by using a buffer and digging it in too deep and burning the paint. A lot of swirl marks can be removed by using one of those erasers found at auto parts stores. good luckmy myspace
