Agreed, but this bloke clearly wants it dead flat. So hard sanding is the only way to go…. Soft sanding is soooo much easier and quicker though 🙂
By hand using a hard block, soft block, or hand?
Using interface pads with machines, soft blocks by hand or hands won’t get the peel out. You want to BLOCK the high part of the peel to the low point.. Using hard block. Personally depending on amount of coats I would have started with 800 wet and steped up to 1200 1500 2000 should be enough for white but if you wana go nuts then 3000
Can’t really comment on wax as I haven’t used alot of it due to it contaminating the workshop and myself and stuffing up the next paint job… As another user said all wax does is leave a wet looking film on the surface making it look great, due to it not being polished correctly.All I can really say about wax is that if the vehicle has been polished correctly when you go to wax it you won’t notice a difference in the finish… Just a bad smell and itchy eyes 🙂

so what is your experience .how much time should be given to final coat to settle down and then spray clear.
i sprayed the final coat (of color) and immediately after it i sprayed the clear.thats what i saw different people in real life and in videos.[/quote]I have never seen anyone spray Clear over basecoat with out letting it dry always give it 20-30min to let the solvents out .
I would Say without a doubt that is why it looks as it does. just as Jim says its doing (the man knows his shit) :teachNow all you need to do is scuff the clear with 600grit and respray your base color wait for 30min and spray clear out it again
it will be good practice and remember always follow the tech sheets not what you see in a video cus who knows what products or video editing there using[/quote]
Painting base over 600 with something that has already sunk back and possibly isn’t fully cured yet I wouldn’t advise…
A big factor to this whole thread as Jim said is temperature equally a big of a factor is the hardener used.. Given that it clearly hasn’t been baked I’d recommend putting it out in the sun for a few days before even touching it mate. Depending on what you want to accomplish go from there, if the sinkback bothers you then you will need to sand it all back and prime it again.
Putting more product on something that’s already quite thick and sinking back is only going to continue to do so :s
Two pack is heat dried not air dried, although enough time is still needed for solvents to escape…. So out in the sun let it fully cure and go off. And buff the absolute crap out of it… Or do it again.
Finish with finer paper and apply less product, big secret of the trade.
