Yeah, I thought so.

Heyhi1, class commences. Be patient, sometimes the time differences or just my workload may create some delays.

this is a good idea, as sometimes we all kinda bombard a poster ( I'M PROBABLY THE WORST) to were he and us don't know what what. its good that we all have input, but I can see it getting confusing for the poster. WE know what each other is talking about but they sometimes don't. its frustrating knowing that if you were there in person the problem could probably be solved in a mater of minutes, but takes days on line.

I appreciate everyone's help. Sometimes you go on a forum and people give you misinformation and you don't know who to listen to. But you guys are constantly answering questions and that's what these forums are for so I really appreciate it.
I know and I understand everyone is different and they do things differently so I want to raise this question. Is it possible to paint over the clear coat after wet sanding 800. The reason I asked this is because I went to the supply house to get a better match on my pants because this was darker and that's what the guy suggested. He said as long as I don't cut through the clear coat that's why he recommends 800 not 600, and I rebase reclear, again not going through the clear coat I should be good.

like I said I understand everyone has different ways to do this but is this a possibility. What are the pros and cons versus going back to primer. when I first started this project I went all the way down to plastic because I had adhesion problems, It doesn't seem like I have that problem but I have a another problem here which I think is probably easier to fix

Not in everything. :wink:

Heyhi1, yes you can paint over the clear after sanding it. It's important, though, that you sand it back to the point where the is absolutely no texture or peel. Earlier you put up a photo of some primer that you'd sanded - that would not be good enough because I can see areas that are either low or just not sanded enough, with the peel still visible. Sand a bit then squeegee off and allow the moisture to flash off. You should be able see any spots that need extra work.

And yes, I agree. P800 wet is the better choice, even if it does make some extra work.
