Ok so this is my first post. Im a well seasoned painter with 20 years experience.. So just testing this out. Ive painted a 69 Carmen Ghia in Mipa 2k paint.. Eisengrau in colour(grey). Got a few wax holes on the wing.. Couldnt hide them with the usual tricks. So i baked it.. Left it masked in the oven.. Toorrow when i go in i wanted to do a small repair over the wax holes.. Im thinking of wiping a bit of stopper or very fine filler over the and just do a small blow in after.. Opinions ?

Not really sure what you mean by ” wax holes” maybe what we call fish eyes ?? Could be a language barrier here, but anyway welcome to the site
Fish eye also
I would sand them flat, apply your base coat if needed and re- clear the whole wing
crater, fish eye, silicone
They are all the same world wide lolFor me it would depend on the amount if it were just two or three, or thereabouts, i may fill them with a flowable putty and seal prime and paint.
If there were a lot it would be a full flat down and start again.
Full flat for just two or three may seem a little excessive imho, as i have done the flowable putty trick many a time and it has always worked
since we stated cleaning panels with waterbased panel cleaner we see very few fish eye’s these days, super clean air is another important factor.

Can’t say I’ve ever heard them called anything other than a fisheye actually, but I live in canada. maybe a language barrier like I said. Sorry for any confusion

Sorry for any confusion[/quote]Come and spend a minute in my booth when I get one. You’ll hear them called a lot more than fisheyes. 👿 Won’t be any language barrier. Even a Canadian will understand exactly what I mean. 😉
I do agree on the waterbased cleaning though. Has made a difference for us too. Makes sense really given that there are both water and solvent based silicones. Prepsol will get one kind and the waterbased cleaner will get the other.
If i get one or 2 in a job ill let the clear flash, then use a ez mix touch up dabber to touch them up with clear. after i bake it i sand the high area down like i would a run or nib and spot buff. as long as the clear is open when u touch it up before u bake u can never tell it was there.
