Hey,

I'm kind of a noob at this, but im deciding to wet sand a car starting with 1200 grit only. Afterwards I would then proceed in buffing it like normal. The clear coat only needs a bit taken off i guess, but my main question is if i accidentally take off too much clear and start sanding off paint would i have to reclear the car? Or would i have any other options?

 

EDIT: Im sure its 2 stage paint, but if its one would i be fine and just proceed to buffing?

 

If you take off the clear and get into the paint then yes you would need to repaint that panel. Start with 2000. 1200 is a bit much for what I am guessing is factory paint. 2000 is also a lot easier to buff out then 1200 scratches and won't sand away the clear as fast as 1200.
