Im currently painting part of my car and ive got it sanded down to where its completely dull from 320 sand paper however im still into the clear coat i havent reached the base coat yet. Can i apply base coat over this or should i keep sanding until i go into the basecoat. The car currently is completely flat and has no shiny parts on the paint.
Thanks Dan-
As long as the remainding clearcoat has a rough surface so the paint has something to grab onto, you'll be fine. I airbrushed a scratch on my quaterpanel, and I just roughed up the surface like you described. I even re-clearcoated on top of the airbrushing. No problems whatsoever.
Ya thanks guys. I painted the bumper and fender due to the old clear being gone then I did my ta hatch swap and figured what the hell lets just do the rest of the car :eyes:. I did go in steps started with 220 to get most of the scratches off then 320 and just finsihed with 400 and 600 in a couple areas.
Dan-
the first car i ever painted (helped my step dad) we just sanded it down good and went over the top.
of course we painted it the same color...so i don't exactly know what it would do if you painted it a diff color....hopefully everything went/is going ok.
Yeah, you're okay. But I'm sure you know not to paint right over the 320, because you will see all the scratches left behind. I'd recommend stepping up to 800-1000 before applying paint.
