Right, so i'm attempting my first 'bodywork' mod myself.

I've prepped and primed my spoiler and wing mirrors. After messing up the primer on the spoiler 3 or 4 times i finally have it sprayed, and looking good.

However, on the wing mirrors i've just messed up the second coat of paint. Am i able to lightly sand it down and try again, or do i have to go back to propper sand/prime/paint again. Human nature is to get it done quick, however if i have to strip then prime again i'll have to do it.

I had a hair stuck in the wet paint, and smudged it when removing the hair. Then tried to 'smooth' the imperfection and it went worse. So made the rookie error of 'dabbing' a cloth on it, which went WRONG. Oops, so can i give it a quick light sand with 1200 wet & dry? Or do i have to 400, 800 then prime it.

Cheers,
James

James.
A 1200/1400 wet and dry (wet) all over but only after 24hours!
Bring it back to a smooth finish all over, give it a good clean and go over again.

Brilliant, thanks.

I've had to put them back on the car for the time being, as i don't want it raining over night and potentially damaging the open electrics. It appears to have dried ok-ish. I mean, if it was a garage you'd ask for your money back. However, i might get away with it for a while, as i need some more paint i think if i'm going to give it a propper coat. Might just have enough, unsure.

The red on the spoiler that bodged up a little has also dried ok-ish, and seeing as its the underside, i might be able to get away with it looking not 100% show room finish

Thanks Devious, makes me feel a lot better reading that

No worries lad.

Gah.

Went over with 1200 wet, gave it a nice (but messy to look at) finish. Went to spray and the can ran out. Haha, so i now have to drive around untill tuesday with red/grey/black(ish) wing mirrors haha. Looks aweful, but will be good when done.

Sods law eh Nevermind.....
