this is one of the reasons i asked you how many coats of clear you had on the blue truck---i did see alot of "orange peel" and like everyone has said you are just at the beginning stages of the final paint job but if you do noyt have enought clear over the paint you are going to go right through the clear and into the paint-----then guess what--------you have to start over again---especially on a candy----now if you do have eneough clear and only you kow how much you put on then you have to wait until the clear of just right to be able to wet sand it---if i were you since you don't have much experience start w/ 1500 wet and dry w/ a sanding pad---some will tell you to use a sand block but i personally do not like them for this phase---------good luck broOriginally posted by 64@Nov 19 2003, 06:17 PM
I noticed on the truck, well trucks I painted here in the last month that the clear is ruff, has a orange pill look. What can I do to improve this? What I'm I doing wrong?
