fixing paint runs
I just wanted to make sure this was the right way to do it.
I have about 5 runs after painting last night, its a single stage ppg, beige #464. Im going to break down the run with around 220, then go to 400, 1200, 2000 grit. Do I need to scuff the rest of the body with 1200, 2000, and then paint it all again?? __________________ Firefighter/EMT My Build "Blue Ridge Cruiser" - http://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.p...ighlight=build 71 FJ40 Mini Truck P/S Conversion Front disk brakes (mini truck) Rear disk brakes (monte carlo calipers) HFS Shackles Pertronix Electronic Ignition Frame up Resto in progress |

You could wet sand with those aforementioned grits and then do a top coat.

If it is your final coat you do not need to spray again. You could do taht forever until you get a perfect spray.
If the runs are substantial you can use a razor blade to shave it off. Then wet sand. __________________ 1956 F-100 1968 Power Wagon 1972 FJ40 1992 4-Runner 1997 F-250 PSD 2006 VW Jetta TDI |

No need to repaint the whole truck. You'll get an idea of what needs to be done once you start fixin the spot. I used my thumbnail and 150 grit and ground it back to level but I only had 2 coats on it. You should be able to touch up that one spot.

End result
Well, things worked out great, I used 250 on the runs then followed with 400, 1200, 2000. I ended up scuffing most of the truck with 2000 and adding 3 more coats, very carefully this time. I must say she looks perty. For my 1st time doing this I am really happy with the results... I will post some pics later..
Thanks for the advice.. __________________ Firefighter/EMT My Build "Blue Ridge Cruiser" - http://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.p...ighlight=build 71 FJ40 Mini Truck P/S Conversion Front disk brakes (mini truck) Rear disk brakes (monte carlo calipers) HFS Shackles Pertronix Electronic Ignition Frame up Resto in progress |
