Hello all! Long time lurker first time posting!
I’m pretty green when it comes to painting as this is my first paint job and have learned everything from this forum or YouTube. All SPI products used accept for the 3M filler and Motobase base coat
I have a question with my project.. I applied 2 coats of universal.. have some small runs you can see but barely feel.
Going off of what I’ve read in here I was going to try and sand them down with 400g just the runs then 1500 the rest of the truck before buffing.
I have some dust in spots due to painting in my garage and want to flatten out things alittle.
I don’t know if I should go this route or sand & scuff the whole truck and put on 2 more coats.
If I do sand and recoat I’m going to mount the doors back on the truck to do it.
I already pulled all the masking off also…
I just did the clear 2 days ago.. trying to figure out the best approach. I still have a half gallon of Universal and slow reducer. Not sure if that’s why I have the runs because it was alittle cooler or if I just put it on to thick at first.
Trying not to do things I don’t or shouldn’t have to do and this isn’t a full blown show truck but want it to look nice as I have done everything on the truck myself. Just wanting to get some thoughts and feedback.
Thanks in advance
