Small repair on recent paint | re-do advice
So, I repaired and painted my silver metallic Audi bumper — looks great.
All except a small imperfection. A week later(today), I sanded and re-painted (base and clear) that area.
I masked to the panel lines on two sides; the other two sides I did soft masking (there are no body lines on those sides) — I should not have masked — of course the edges are noticeable. Should have known.
Feedback please on my proposed approach:
-
Wait for the (2K) to dry. A few days?
-
The entire repair: Scuff with a 3M white pad and/or sand with 800
-
Then, re-do the color & clear without the mask
-
Clean up overspray with clay
BTW I’m using rattle cans.
Thanks guys.
