I was clear coating my calipers and for some reason in the middle of doing a pass my spray paint can decided to "splurt" out and made some clear coat mess/blobs . The silver spots is the clear blobs. It looks ok-ish with wheel on from the front but it's bothering me. The clearcoat is Spray Max 1K Clear Acrylic 3680058.
Theres 3 coats of clear now over the 3 coats of paint and it and dried overnight.
Can I just mask of so only blobby area is there. Then sand the blobby area a little bit to make it look "dull", then just spray back clear coat? Or do I need to do paint to.
Or if you have more idea.
Easiest way to repair my brake caliper paint job?

I would get all that nastiness off and scuff it with a scratch pad then recolor and reclear.

Man recoloring would be a PITA. I'm down to just re clear coat instead. My paint is perfect under. Just the clear coat came out wack. |
You'll never sand that clear splatter off without damaging the base coat underneath or leaving marks that will show.
As Jay said, sand it back and re-base and then re-clear. BTW, that clear is just plain old acrylic. Probably won't stand up to the heat generated there. Chris

Shoot... That means it's just like a plastic ish clear? If it fails I'll redo it with the VHT high temp specific clear. It's the only clear coat I can find for high heat that's why I thought all clear coat were made to resist heat. Like in the hot sun for a whole day outside on the roof of a car for example. But yeah, my results are even better than the other calipers I would say wow. Let's hope it sticks on with the heat. I wetsanded everything 600 grit and focused a bit more on the splatter. Then did 2 coats of paint and then 3 coats of clear. |

Oh okay it's not that bad though calipers would hit much higher. Maybe my clear coat will handle. |
