Re: Martin Senour Paints/First Paint Job !!!!

AWESOME!

If your run is in the clear...you can let the clear set up for a couple days, then spread a very thin even coat of bondo over the clear around the run...build up the bondo around the run; then you can use some wetsanding (say 800 to start) and work the run down. The bondo keeps you from working down the surrounding and somewhat thin clear. REMEMBER that the run is actually cigar.shaped in cross section...it sort of bubbles off the smooth clear. Because of this, there is a very tiny area just off the run where its thinner than anywhere else. It has something to do with the surface tension. Using the bondo allows you to keep everything level


Then use 3M Perfect It buffing compound on a rotary buffer with a clean wool pad, followed by Menzerna polishing and swirlmark compounds on foam pads


Its good to see someone use actual paint and show it CAN be done at home
KUDOS to you

I had a guy look at it who's been painting for years. He going to show me how to buff. He looked and said the small runs that I have can be buffed out easily.

I also did this with a $25 walmart gravity gun. Suprised me it came out so good.
