i'm finishing up a 1st time diy paint job in my garage. when i was primering and doing bodywork i always had a problem sanding the sharp edges on my ED6. well today when i was wetsanding the orangepeel with 1500, as usual i sanded too much away on the fender and now i see metal.

btw I have a suction fed touch up gun and 1.5 quarts of paint leftover.
i need to know how to fix this.

thanks

i'll post up pics in a minute.

 

need to fix this too. I guess the fumes got to me and somehow the hose touched the car.

 

so you burned through? you can dust in a little paint but if you want it perfect, you might have to re-clear the whole fender.

dust: blow a little material.

 

that's what i thought.

what about primer? so just isolate those two spots and respray or do i need to respray those two spots and the surrounding areas as well?

 

you should have clayed it, then wet sand with 2000 grit

 

i dont think claying would take away orange peel would it? id say just tape off around that area and mist on some base and clear. or you can leave it, its not really that noticeable.
