We’ll I rubbed through here on the edge at 1500 grit . I have or had 5 coats of universal on it and went 800,1000,1200 and now at 1500. So my question here is can I spot a little base in this spot or shoot the whole door? (base was activated) And then my next question is if I can spot base in what grit do I need to be in for clear to adhere to. Iam thinking 1500 is a little to fine? I probably go 6 coats on the next application

yes just dont slam it on . blocking on that are should have been finished before color ever hit it . clear is the last place to be jumped on with 800 then up. only if you really trashed the clear 1000 is all you need to get the peel .

also tape off all the edges and peaks until your done sanding . then you can touch up the edges gently . painters blue tape is your friend .....

Tape your edges. Resist the temptation to skip it… :)

1000 dry, 1500 assilex and 2500 bufflex will remove a lot less material. Learned this from JimC.

Edit, I also use Trizact 8000 after the 2500.

with dark colors just be sure that the clear you sanded is super clean. i have many times recleared only to put the part next to the other and it turns out to be a little more cloudy in the sun than the rest of the parts. i would wipe it down really well, blend in the black on the burn through then just to be safe you might want to consider shooting one piss thin coat of base over the whole door to avoid any issues. im only saying this because its black. almost any other color it would not be necessary.
