Was clearing a bunch of small stuff to get the hang of how to setup my gun for the clear......and like a rookie dope left the totally prepped truck interior
all shot in basecoat uncovered.........so now the horisontal surfaces all have a nice fine mist of clear overspray....duh!

so what is the easiest way of fixing things?.......can I just use a green 3m scuff pad?

BTW, thanks to everyone's hepl on the board, this paint job is comming out awsome!

I'm using the Dupont Croma Premeir line........picked Dupont based on the fact that PPG retailers are far and few around here......all the shops use PPG beacuse they all seem to mix on site.

But I couldn't be happier........all this stuff costs huge dough, but even if it costs 3X what Nason or Omni or Sherwin costs, considering my time involved that differential seems less significant, let alone the fact that these top-of-the-line paints just seem to melt on........

Also used sealer, which really creates a smooth, smooth finish for the basecoat............i'll bet that sealer would cover 220 sanding totally!

I don't know how to fix your problem. I will leave that up to the pro's. I too am using the chromaPremier stuff. It does cost big bucks. Are you using the Chromapremier sealer as well? I am shooting red and they said to get the white sealer (valueshade #1). I am going to pick it all up tomorrow and I need to decide to get just the paint I need for all interior stuff and get the rest later, or just get it all now and let about a gallon of it store for about a year. Any suggestions? How are you doing it?

yes, i used the #1 valueshade croma premier sealer, it lays out nice and easy, and leaves a smooth silky finish for the basecoat..........i have been buying product as I go, doing the interior and jambs 1st......
