Bugs and Dust in Clear - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #73253 7 posts Started by Scosh
Ok so I went outside this morning to check on my car after the paint job. I noticed that there are a few bugs that look like they dove into the clear while it was drying. Also I have a little bit of dust that got onto the clear. Any help on how to remove these bugs on 1 day dried clear?
did you paint your car outside?!?!?!?!

Wetsand. Soak some 2500 and 3000 grit overnight and go to town, just don't take too much off. Sand with one hand and have a spray bottle of water in the other - keep the panel lubricated.


If they're deep in the clear then you might want to think of having another layer of clear put on after wetsanding out the dust and bugs.



But why was the car sitting outside right after paint?

The bugs are barely on the clear, I took one off and the legs stayed. I was thinking just wetsand with 2000 and buff?
Go for it.
