well i have a car that i ended up painting not to long ago like 6 months or so and it was just a flat black no clear coat. I was wondering if i could sand the whole car with a thin grit to even the color out, there are some spots that are darker then others and i left it out side for the winter with a car cover on it and when i pulled the cover off some spots got stuck onto the frame and i was just wondering if it would be okay just to sand the whole car down with a thin grit to even out the color. So any advice would help and thanks....

a proper flat black job will have a clearcoat

so what did you use?

 

If you sand it there will be sanding marks, and you can't buff it so I wouldn't recomend it. If it's still in basecoat I'm assuming, just wet sand it with 600 lightly by hand and have the panels reshot to match. I would also recomend a satin clear so this doesn't happen again.

But don't apply clearcoat unless you plan to do it to the whole car. Otherwise it'll look like crap.

 

well thanks guys. for the info always helps to get advice instead of dicks trying to think they know everything.. but yeah i just wanted to keep it flat black but will re pait it...
