Painted my 69 today and put on two coats of clear due to running out of supplies noticed that on one quarter I did not get good paint coverage you can kind of see black base coat can I simply scuff up with some 1000 and re pain then clear or how can I fix thanks in advance. Also should say useing House of color products. :clonk:

I don't understand exactly what you have. Is the clear the one that is thin and you can see black base coat? Or is it the paint didn't cover the black under it but you have a full two or so coats of clear?

If it is the later, no problem, scuff and repaint and clear. If it is the former and you have thin clear, be VERY careful and build up a layer of "dry" base color with light dusting coats. If you apply it too heavy the solvents will get under the edge of the clear and lift it, wrinkling the clear.

"sunshine surprise"



LOL!

Glad I read this, I would have been tempted to use clear only, no more base coat.
