My friend told me that I can't wetsand and buff my 91 crx with original paint because they used a different painting process in that time. He says they used single layer paint enamel with the clear coat mixed in as opposed to modern day paint where they spray a base coat then clear. Is he right? Or can I carefully wetsand and buff my paint? Thanks

 

I want to do this only to my quarter where I did some body work. I sprayed some rattle can perfect match paint, but it has an almost unnoticeable paint line where I taped off. I want to wetsand the entire quarter then buff it to blend it together. Does that sound like it will work?

 

post a pic and ill let you know

 

I will when I get ahold of a camera.

Anybody wetsand their old original paint?

 

If the paint is in fact single stage, it can be buffed if it is a solid color, but it cannot be buffed if it is a metallic paint.

 

your car is 99% paint and clear....UNLESS your car was re-painted and they used single stage

 

It has the original paint except for on the quarter panel where I want to blend the spray can paint with the original. Can that be done through wet sanding and buffing?
