It's definitely a very tricky process . I have seen it done . What have learned is patience , preparation and time for the paints to cure. I am sure weather has something to do with it also! Very warm weather weather doesn't help much either when applying!

Will do thanks

Hi Mike it's done! Took a while to polish out the over spray. Had to use a wool pad at low speed. Then sanded, and polished it out. Now I will wait to put the paint sealant on. Thank you very much for your help and guidance!!!! Much appreciated. Thank you for responding to my threads. Nick

Mike , I ordered a clay mitt to start removing the over spray, do I need to go more aggressively or just keep working with it and keep it lubed . Then sand , lastly polish out? Thanks Nick

Getting ready to spray again! I am practicing on a piece of metal to get the feel down !:-)

Thank God For Mike! Wish I could meet you! One more question, how do feather in the new paint so I don't have a hard tape line? Roll the tape so there is sorta a canapé? Spray very light ! Then polish? The issue is the old clear and the color? When I start sanding the color it turns lighter...
