hello everyone i have a couple of questions. i made a search on clear coats but didn't find an answer.
#1. i've shot my metallic silver base. i then shot a clear of 2 coats and got greedy and tried for a 3rd on my tank only and as luck would have it ran out b4 i was done so i ended up with with a partial coat on one side and it feels rough.
to fix my problem i was going to wet sand it smooth so here is my question. b4 going on to start my color coat (sems mandarin orange over met silver) should i buff the clear to a smooth clear finish or do i wet sand the whole tank and leave it then spray my color. (the clear has only 2 extremely small lint/specs in it that i will fix as well). so taking this to the finishing coats of clear do i wet sand between the final clear coats or just add the finishing clear coats to the shiney clear coat finish??
#2. adding pearl. my paint scheme is silver met base with candy mandarin orange top. Ghost flames of the silver base and then a couple of candy after pulling the tape. i'm using sticky paper to mask the flames and i'm not wanting extremely sharp edges i kinda want a hazy blending edge.
so i would like to add a shifting pearl of (orange to purple) but when and where do i add this pearl to my paint. color coat or clear coats??
any help is very much appreciated.
tks
