Might get a better answer in the paint/body forum. or any answer at all for that matter. lol.

maybe you weren't putting it down thick enough?

 

oh my bad im still kinda new to honda tech

 

is this the right polish thingy?

 

rattle canned, part A of the problem;

B; doesnt look like you used enough clear, and the clear probably doesnt mix with the base coat.

Now you may have to sand it all down again and start over, and use enough clear coat. First coat is light, next coat is medium, and 3rd is heavy- let dry for 15 mins inbetween.

 

used clear coat spray can

 

You need to go heavier on the clear, and then wet sand the **** out of it with 1500, then 2000, then use rubbing compound

 

ok kool i'll buy another clear coat spay can.

but is that the right rubbing compound that i just bought?

 

It looks like the clear is drying before it hits the fender. You may be holding the can too far away. Like Jonknee said too, it looks like you need to go heavier on the clear.

If you have any junk panels you should try it out on them first. You use more paint, but it saves a lot of time and hassle in the end.

 

Yeah the rubbing compound is correct, use it after wet sanding. But you may wanna let it dry overnight or a few days before wet sanding.

 

well i just wet sand my old black gloss after market fender that is on my car and it came out pretty good.

it have a lot of spot because i paint it in the rain

I hope this oem fender that i just painted will come out good.
but can't expect a lot from it because this isn't done with a gun.

 

as long as you prep with very good acetone and use alot of paint with the correct amount of time inbetween, and use a good clear you will be fine.

wait a month before glazing and waxing.

do it in the shade, with 0 humidity

 

well im screw dude i don't have the spray can anymore that i bought off paint scratch web site to match my car.

what to do?

I know sand it down with 1500 grit to smooth the paint out and spray clear coat again?

paint guns are cheap, i got a suction feed for 30 i think, and it paints pretty good, great for laying down thick primers, but ive seen gravity feeds HVLP guns go for 50-100 for a decent gun. i would pick one of those up, the end product will look alot better, and the paint will be alot more even. with a spray can its hard to get a smooth even coat. most automovie stores will be able to order you the correct primer, base, and clear that you will need, along with any reducers and hardners. if your gonna do it might as well do it right the first time right? plus if you get some good practice in, then maybe, you can take on bigger projects?

 

well i can't buy a compressor and paint gun because i got no space for it plus im still living with my parent.

 

Just wet sand the clear coat off with 1500 until smooth and respray your clear coat again, this time do a heavy coat. do not spray from far away or it will come out fuzzy as ***** and wont turn out good.

 

ok i sand it down and respray clear with a can up close.
it look pretty good to me but i have drips on some part of the fender.

should i just let the clear dry up for 2 day and sand it down with 2000grit to even out the clear then polish?

lalala

 

if you put alot of clear : get some 1000 or 1500 and sand the **** out of it till smooth. it will look good if you put enough clear to sand off.

 

well let me try it with the 2k grit first

 

Yeah, just give it time to set, and sand it down. The drips should come off.

 

yes you should sand it within 24 hours of clearing it..... wel i know thats we do with out cars we paint (with a gun) it dosent look to bad for spray can

 

looks very bad, sorry.

better than before but still.

is the base material perfectly smooth? aka 600grit or higher smooth? there's so many bumps and stuff to it..

2000grit will probably not going to cut all that down, try 1000 or even 800 first

 

800 will be way too much for spray can clear coat.

 

DAMN! That still looks nasty. Lay that $hit heavy. There's no reason to have that much peel even with a spray can. How do you have runs and have soooo much orange peel?
