Mask the entire car, you wont see overspray on the exposed surface but you can feel it, also surrounding vehicles can get overspray. 400 grit is too coarse, 600 to 800 would be good. Mineral spirits is too harsh, use sprayaway glass cleaner (ammonia free) or alcohol. Might as well clear the headlights, but with final 1000 grit.

@Dassick89 Ай бұрын

The reason people dont do this is that the clear and base a bonded together when sprayed. Doing this means that the weak point is the base. Sure it works and it should last a while, but how long it lasts will be how good the bas coat is that you sprayed it to. Ive debated doing this because all my vehicles have this problem. But eventually ill just respray the whole thing in a single stage paint with some hardener from tractor supply for $100. Car paint is insanely priced now adays. From the prep to labor to the actual paint cost. Ill go with a tractor paint lol.

you could go down even to a 160-200 grit for the clear removal, maybe even down to 120 grit. And for home paint jobs, using low pressure air (40-60 psi) you can blow off the car in between coats to help minimize the dust trapped on the surface to cut down on the cut and buff at the end

@Fhwgads11 Жыл бұрын

That’s pretty aggressive, you’d have to come back up to 400 (ideally more like 800) unless you want sand scratches all throughout your clear. The risk of going through the exposed paint would be way too high if all you want to do is just re-clear

Have a 2007 Camry and trust me. My interior was worse than you could imagine happen aftwr what monstrosity you already described. Google Toyota cheap interior issue on 2007-2010 Camry and Lexus if you want to know. The dashboard would melt and stick to your hands. I got it fixed by going to one of those car seat and upholstery shops, they put a faux leather same color as my dashboard and now my dash looks brand new. The upholstery all over the car got changed as well and it looks brand new. Now was thinking to get the car poloshed but wanted to paint clear coat, which the paint shop duped me out of by claiming he will do it all, but did a bad job of polishing ( no wet sanding, just polished portions of the car and then shampooed and slightly waxed)
