Hello ALL! I have been trolling the forums for a while and i painted a car a week ago... I ran into 2 problems...


The hood had like 2 streaks in it... (I am assuming it was not enough overlapping)

The other was...

The doors had like a "sandy" look to them... They felt smooth, but... looked sandy. I tried wet sanding it and it didn't improve much.

Anyone know why the 2nd problem arrose and if my assumption was correct for the 1st one?


This is the car i painted after wetsanding and buffing...

--- I didn't use 496, i used 497. 496 is a panel/spot repair clear, and 497 is a overall, large panel repair clear.

As for a gun for me... I am still new to this painting game, and haven't used any high quality gun yet. It's all whatever is available to the customer who has a sata connection.
I was referring to the red Honda. The black VW(?) looks like you're getting a good handle on it.

--- Yeah i adapt quite well. I think the only thing this car coulda used was maybe a bit lighter coats on bc. You can see it in the trunk... VERY LITTLE but some orange peel in bc. It's very minor and looks like factory orange peel.

I am hoping once i get rid of these HF guns for bc/cc... and get a devilbiss or a sata that it will be improved.
