I just finished my first paint job using acrylic enamel and I don't like the way it looks. I got some trash in it and some parts look like orange peel.
Can I cut and buff this and if so how long should I let the paint sit and cure? It's in a heated garage.
Most of the job I have been reading about are CC/BC and I see that is common there but I'm not sure about the enamel.
If I need a buffer what should I look for?
Can you give me a little advice?

You can do it on solid colors. Not recommended for metallics because it will mess up the flake.
You should probably look into a rotary buffer with variable speed settings. I use a Dewalf and Makita buffers and 3M compound system at work, but I just ordered a buffer from HF, $60 on sale for $30, plus a 20% off coupon. Most people on here use M105 and M205, I've used Pinnacle and currently use Menzerna products. I'm just a hobbyist though, so 3M was out of my price range. Hope this helps. |

Can you cut and buff acrylic enamel? As long as its solid color. Bryan had metallic and learned a good lesson through the forum. If ya painting metallic it better be base/clear. Cutting peel out of single stage mettalic is out. Anything will buff shiny if cut right but single stage metallic with peel don't cut and look right. Ya mess up the metallic. Enjoyed the steak dinner with you and the wife Bryan.
