Hi Guys, Im busy repairing a door for a friend.The repair is in the middle of the door. Ive fixed the repair, filled and sanded etc ready for paint but when it comes to applying the paint and clearcoat the rest of the panel is covered in overspray. Now for me to get rid of overspray do i need to polish it out after paint has dried with a machine polisher. Thanks.
I think the answer you’ll get from most around here is that it would have been better to clear the whole door. That method would certainly give you a more long lasting repair, and avoid the overspray issue you have.
It may still be an option to consider, even now. Scuffing the whole panel and applying some more clear may be a lot safer than trying to sand and polish back that overspray, as you may end up with an edge all the way around the repair.
For a true local repair the pressure would need to have been kept low to keep the overspray to a minimum, then whatever did remain should be ‘melted in’ with a fade out blender.
Sorry it sounds like such bad news, but I’d rather tell you straight :blink:
my thoughts exactly. some times trying to cut corners makes double work in the end
:agree scuff it up with a gray scratch pad and reclear. The whole door that is, If its got a moulding you prolly get away with just doing the top or bottom but I dont know where the repair is
