Thats a lot of clear at one time. Sand and buff if you know what your doing. If you dont....well, you know.

[DI$N3Y]

retard quote of the day.

If you find some one that knows what they are doing then they should be able to fix the mess. I would go ahead and tell you what to do but then I would have like 15 people that think they know what they are talking about that would say I am wrong. Ah...the beauty of TR paint / body forums. I can give you some pointers if you want to PM me.

There are many different ways to fix your problem. Don't get discouraged.

exact same thing happened to my car bought it with that MAKO SPECIAL lol and took it somewhere had it wetsanded and buffed and besides maby around some of the edges u would never be able to tell it was mako the orange peel goes away but be carefull ive see people sand too much and some of the sanding marks have remained visable even after buffing

keep your paper clean...1500 and 2000 grit don't usually scratch the paint,but a fart chunk from a rats ass will...that is to say "anything" ...dirt, sand,a pretty hard booger,a hair...almost anything will scratch the paint.

watch out for solvent pop with that much clear as it cures it could still pop even a week after painted ive seen it happen

the orange peel is in the the clear not in the base unless its a single stage painted wrong.if u have 5 coats of clear all u need is a wet sand and buff.

ONE MORE THING IF U GONNA TAKE ADVICE TAKE IT FROM OLD SCHOOL HES THE ONLY ONE ON HERE THAT KNOWS WHAT HES TALKING ABOUT.DONT KNOW HIM BUT HEARD NOTHING BUT GOOD THINGS ABOUT HIM AND HIS INFO IS TOP NOTCH

Here is a picture of some wetsanding and polishing.
There should be no Scratches left over.
It takes many steps and 3 diffrent sand papers to cut the peel down nicely.In the QP pictures you can see the polishing in comparison to the B pillars.

hit it with some 80 grit ;)

Hold on there killer. I appreciate the compliment, however, There is much more experience and talent on here than I can deliver. I get lucky sometimes, but remember even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. ;)

4-5 coats of clear. if layed out right.that is plenty of clear to take down that orange peel with 1500/2000. when a compound buff/foam glaze. you should be good.

[Hellfire_Studios]

wow thats alot of clear. You should really be able to do it with 2-3

thats a right and wrong ? reason being it depends on how thick or thin the painter lays the clear down but on the other hand ur right a good 2-3 layers should be enough.theres a body shop in saftey harbor were my old shop use to be and he uses half a gallon up to a galllon of clear for the show cars he paints, even hondas

[obituary]

sprayed with too much air pressure ,that causes orange peel

haha wow, you know nothing about painting do you?

orange peel is when you are spraying clear on thick and the gun is to close to the surface you are painting.. thus the air coming out of the spray gun makes slight ripples in the clear.


wet sanding and buffing will take everything out, just dont start wet sanding under 1000.. preferably 1500 then work your way up to 2000
