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!
I have more to do on the bumper, the clear coat didn't hold , I assume I sand with 2500 then re spray the clear , then wait to cure.
One can see it once the picture is expanded.
I was at my first car show with my car
Had a good time.
I looked at my rear bumper that I was working on the clear peeled off Ugg
Re sand with 2500 , respray the clear and wait for a a good clear!
Mike I want to say thank you I have been following you the last 15 years and because of you I was...
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.

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
Waiting for the clear and color to cure!
What a process! I did learn a lot from this project!!! Most of all patience!
I now need to polish the over spray out and remove some of the orange peel.
Suggestions Mike????
Thanks everyone!

I am thinking about entering a car into a local show.
Is there a checklist someone uses in order to get all the detailing in?
When should the process start prior to the event?
Thanks, Nick
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...
