Ok I sprayed my color on It is a 1 step acrylic paint, It came out with a lot of orange peel, My question. Do I color sand it or could I just spray a Clear coat and color sand the clear? Would that get rid of the orange peel, even though the 1st coat of paint also has orange peel? Would the 1st coat with orange peel show thru the clear? Or should I just resand and put another coat of paint on.

 

anyone got any tips of what I could do?
Thx

 

 

Thank You I was afraid That's what I might have to do .

 

Now Should I wet Sand or Dry sand with 1500-2000 ?

 

How long has it been since you painted the car?
Is it a metallic color?
Did you use any hardener in the paint, when sprayed?
How many coats did you put on?

Help me with these questions, and I can better give you the answers.

Yes it is metallic and I did use Hardener and it's been about 2 weeks since I painted it.
I have 3 coats of paint on it.

Well then, I'm afraid you CAN NOT wet sand and JUST spray clear on it.
You can't wet sand a metallic single stage paint, either to spray clear on it, OR buff it out, as you will streak the metaliic particles in the paint, and will look terrible.
I'm going to have to say, if it's that bad too where you have to sand orange peel down, just to get the paint flat and smooth, you're going to have to repaint the car.
No way around it, with the single stage metallic.
You could have gotten away with it, if it were a solid (non-metallic) color, or if it was clear coated in the first place.

Better luck next time, bud.
I wish I had better news for you.
