DIY Paintjob gone wrong
 

Does anyone know why I'm getting specks of paint all over the place, now my paint job is all grainy.

I put the can somewhere between 5-10 cms. And it's not windy and the temperature is 24'C.

Does this have something to do the humidity?

Is there any to fix the speckled up paint job?

Can I sand & Polish it or should I repaint again?

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

Wet sand and buff the car

Then repaint.

If you did it outside, no matter what, your going to have problems. Windy or not problems will occur. Its best to do it in your garage.

best bet is to start all over again. Inside.

yea, when you do it in your garage, always soak your floor with water, it pulls the dust to the ground, so it doesnt get on the car.

I've noticed it too with my painting the car indoors.

Where else besides Walmart can I get wetsandpaper over 2000 grit?

you dont need anything over 2000 grit..

you have to do it in increments of 500-200, since you already have a coat on, sand 500 until relatively smooth, then paint, then sand 1000 till smooth, then paint then sand 1500 till smooth, if you need another coat of paint do it. if not then wetsand 2000 till smooth. wash car, buff it. then put a couple coats of clear on it.. then buff with wax.

ive done a DIY paint job already and it turned out pretty good.

k, I'm going to sand it with 2000 grit, wash, polish and see what happens going to keep my fingers crossed... if not gonna break my canadian tire piggy bank and buy more sand paper and paint again :(

wish me luck! I'll post pics when it's done hopefully it goes well... such a bummer having to wait for the right weather and taking the bumper off :headbang:

lol dude 2000 grit is like 79Cents

rob an old italian guy for his canadian tire money they always have tons
