This looked like a good place to post a question I have.
I need to repair a paint screw up on my '69 GTO convertible project.
I noticed a low spot I missed on left front fender after I cleared it. I just plain missed it when I was blocking out the primer. I could see it after clearing but decided to see if I could live with it after getting the car assembled and the fender polished out. I just polished out that area only for a test and I quickly decided I could not live with it.
Here's what I've got now after blocking it out with 320 grit on a long sanding block using guide coat.
The low spot is gone but as you can see, I've gone through the clear, base coat and have exposed red epoxy primer. The clear is Universal and the base is SPI Dark Red.
My plan is to spot spray a couple of coats of red epoxy primer about a square foot in size over that area, re-block and then one more primer coat with a very light blocking afterwards. This clear is probably fully cured. I sprayed it 10 months back. I know I will need to re-clear the entire fender but my question is about the base coat.
Should I just spot in base over that corrected area or should I re-base the entire fender?
