Clearcoat question

BZA · 30-July-02, 10:46 PM

I was laying on a first coat of clear onto the top (roof) of my case and about half way thru the bottom edge of the can nicked the previously painted section leaving about a half inch nick in the clearcoat. so i finished the coat and sprayed a little *sssprt* onto the nick, is this gonna be a problem? it is drying now and is a little foggy in that one spot, will it dry clear or did i screw the pooch? lol

thanks!

later!

Nope, you're still good. Usually that fog is from it still being wet. If it doesn't loose it's fog, then just sand down and spray again. You'll see this fog sometimes with runs, or not waiting for the coat to dry and then slapping on another. Usually with the clearcoat though, that fog disappears and isn't noticable. But like I said, you can always sand it down and do it again.

When you ddid your little "psst' the surrounding clear just didn't absorb the overspray. The clear will start drying right away and if you wait to long it will leave what you have described. Hgoale is right, it will rub out.
