Hi,

A few months back I made the a mistake to try to do a self-paint job on a car door that was keyed. I purchased "clear coat 2k". It never came out right.

Fast forward, I am trying to take it off, but it appears no matter how much I wet sand my door it never comes off. When the water dries I am left with the exact same appearance There is distinct difference between the 2k clear coat and my regular paint job. It looks really bad!

I have tried 600,1000, and 2000 sand paper. Same results.

Please help. Any suggestions.

Pics would be nice. Also 400 should take the clear off, but i would try to see if i could Buff it out. Did you only apply clear?

Pictures are necessary. No way to tell what you are dealing with.

If you're trying to sand off the clear to get back to the original finish and then stay with that then I'd think you'd have a snowball's chance in hell. The chances of rubbing through are just too high.

Even P400 is going to take a long time and if you can't see where the clear is and isn't you won't know where to sand.

I'd think a better solution would be to rub it all back to level and re-do the whole door.
