Ok i cleared the car the other day and i went down today to check the outcome... doesnt look too bad some orange peel and come whats looks to be like high places in the clear that looked to be cracked? Anyone know what this is? I started to wetsand the car and it took most of the cracks away. I didnt hit color when i was wetsanding so i figured this wouldnt be a problem. Should i wet sand with 1000 then 1200 and then hit with another good coat of clear? thanks

 

its hard to say but any irregularities in the clear like that comes from high humidity or dirty surface. the clear had some kind of chemical reaction or something. i remember i sprayed a car one time and the whole side ended up cracking and crinkling or something so i had to da sand the side down all the way to metal in order to get rid of it. but if you say you got that peal and cracks out and if you didnt hit the base then you should be fine.

 

since wetsanding... will i be ok to clear over that?

 

yea you covered what was already reacting with it

 

ok thanks a lot... i know a lot of it was caused by humidity... when im spraying the clear it is coming out and leaving the surface rough.. i am going to try to adjust the gun to get a better flow

 

most likely the cracking was caused by applying clear over partially cured clear, you waited too long between coats

 

i get some cracking on some of the abs plastic parts ive painted but never on a car...could be the clear was harding or like the other guy said something like spraying over dryed clear...

 

increased the flow of the clear and it worked out good... now i just have some runs on the driverside that i have to fix tomorrow... last coat of clear going on tomorrow after wetsanding

 

YOu probly let the temperature drop in the room. it is suppose to bake at a high temp. If the temp changes dramatically you can damage the clear like wht happend when it crack

 

what grit did you start to wetsand with..?

 

Looks like a chemical reaction... I could be wrong tho. Need sharper pictures.
