in this video I will be showing you how to wet sand and polish 2K clear on a scale model car body!
so this process does take time so you do have to take your time with it otherwise you will mess up which you do not want to do.
so do not push down on the same paper always you will go through the clear coat to the color to primer and to the beer plastic.
so be sure to take a slow and go easy!

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who does things the hard way! I too use Meguiar's Mirror Glaze and Ultimate Mirror polish to make all my cars and musical instruments look like brand new.

@robertmassucci1 2 жыл бұрын

just make sure you have enough coates laid down. Use a very light touch the model will tell you how hard to push but be gentle like you're kissing your sister. I remember being very heavy handed and burning through but then I saw just how effective finesse can be

That looks a handy rotary tool! My cheap 125W dremel clone, is way to fast at it's slowest speed of 10,000rpm!

@briansrcadventures1316 3 жыл бұрын

I just bought a similar rotary tool (although the one I went for has 5 speeds, rather than 3). I also bought similar buffing wheels, so hopefully it'll be ideal for polishing clear coats! Hopefully it'll arrive in the post in a few days!

@briansrcadventures1316 3 жыл бұрын

It came today! I've only tested it so far on some plastic teaspoons I had painted and clearcoated a few months ago for earlier painting tests, but I'm pretty happy with it so far. Mine is an SPTA branded one, 5 speeds and goes down to 3000 rpm :-) I also bought the same scratch-x and and polishing compound as you use @N.Y.S Modeling!

@Jem7sk 3 жыл бұрын

Dylan, do you know what speed you are polishing with the rotary tool? I didn't see a direct link above to the exact one you use.

@patstiff 2 жыл бұрын

I've read elsewhere about 1500 RPM. Worked well on a sample I tried the other day.

Excellent work, it has a realistic shine. Have you ever used nail polish for a custom color paint and if so, does it hold up to your polishing regimen?

@hyp3rimag 4 ай бұрын

Dumb question im sure but can you spray clear coat on a new diecast car? Like say I buy it, unbox it and immediately want it to have a little extra clearcoat. Can I just spray it on the car and let it dry then polish that later on? Im always worried being new to this that ill take too much clear coat off and it just makes me nervous polishing.

@NYSMODELING 4 ай бұрын

The thing about putting more clear on it is clear coat is thick. And the thicker it gets harder, it's going to put on your additional parts such as headlights or your penalines will get filled up.

@JoseDiaz-ut6oc 2 жыл бұрын

How long after clear coating, (3 coats), within 10 min of each other, before I can start the wet sanding step? Ty!

@cityglass8665 Жыл бұрын

I know it’s hard to resist but let it dry 24hrs… I go as far as 48 hrs just to be safe. I ruin models back in the day handling them to early. And that was just for assembly, imagine wet sanding

@0108daniel Жыл бұрын

Started with sanding 2000, but the paint come off the model already. I painted 3 layers of paint and 3 layers of gloss vennish.

@wiratama7015 11 ай бұрын

hello, can we sand black gloss paint without the clear coat?

You can but you won't get a good result it will be more like a matte black at that point

once polish is applied how does one go about glueing things like mirrors. door handles, chrome, wiperblades etc. ?

Install those first

@robertmassucci1 2 ай бұрын

@hhaste if I do, I'll surely knock them off while polishing. I've discovered using diluted alcohol to clean glue points since you responded. So I polish the car minus wings, fins, mirrors, protrusions of any kind and the clean and attach after. So far nothing has fallen off any cars

@johnmcdonald8509 Жыл бұрын

Question. I’m new to this, and only have access to 1000 and 2000 grit. Can I get away with just those? Then follow up with a polish? Thank you for the video and keep posting! Also, do you wet sand the entire body?

@Ryan57Garr Жыл бұрын

Stick to only wet sanding the larger areas. You want to stay a way from edges, small details and body lines because the sandpaper will quickly sand through the clear coat in those areas. I think you can get away with using only 1000 and 2000, but you’ll have significant polish work to do afterwards to get rid of the haze. Good luck!!
