I painted my 66 Mustang 18 months ago, SPI Epoxy, body work, SPI 2K, SPI Epoxy, Martin Senour TEC base, SPI Clear.
I sucked at laying down the clear and had a bit of cutting/buffing in front of me. I had a change in jobs that required me to move back to CO, which stalled out the project and forced me to move it.
During the move it got a deep scratch in the paint on the roof from a falling light fixture, the scratch is down to metal in the worst spot. I also noticed a crack in the finish around the quarter to trunk seams.
Do I sand the scratch down to metal, hit with epoxy again then base? I am concerned about the epoxy/new base sticking to the existing coats.
For the cracked areas I had used fibrehair? It was a filler with pieces of fiberglass in them. I was thinking of working all the way down to the base of the crack then?
I also would like to reclear the whole car, what do I need to do over the rest of the car to prep the current paint to accept the clear?
Sorry if these are newb questions, but I am definitely a newb.
