 Posted: Mon Apr 17, 2017 4:37 pm Post subject: Paint Defect Advice please ! |
 |
|
I painted the interior of my bug this weekend aprox 36 hours ago. I used PPG single stage urethane. I was thrilled with the results but I made a few mistakes and am seeking some advice on what to do to correct them.
Here are some pictures of the defects
general appearance not much orange peel
small crater in the dash
Cotton fiber trash
a few misc runs
a long run along the pillar
and a small area on the dash of pinholes
what can I do to correct these?
Would I be best off to wet sand down the runs, remove the cotton ball trash and level out the pinholes, scuff all and repaint everything? The car is still masked off. If so what would that process look like? red scuff pad? Should I wait for the paint to cure longer? how many coats over the top?
Help me please!

leave it for a week or so. Use 1500 grit paperwet with soap and flatten the areas of defect. The pinholes are solvent pop. Flat an area 3 or 4 inches around the defect. Once the defects are gone and the surrounding paint matt finish, gently spry the colour from the centre of the defects out building up the paint level slowly. Once the defect is obliterated,the last coat should be 90% thinner 10% colour to melt the new paint into the first finish. Hope this makes sense, use a cutting compound and wax to finish

| I would get the run file and also get one of the small aluminum blocks. Those runs don't come out and flatten very easy. Also sand all the defects flat. Personally I think you should knock it all down with 400 grit and repaint the whole thing. I think trying to blend it could be tough for a beginner. Or if there is an obvious spot you can break the paint somewhere you can do that too. It's not super clear to me where all the problems are. |
