wait 30 days before waxing it, you can use MeGuires spray detailer to polish the paint right now with a microfiber cloth as that will make it really shine and won't hurt the paint, after 30 days get a bottle of 3-M imperial hand glaze from a body shop and use that on the paint once a year and then wax it with MeGuires gold class wax.
newly painted?


as in


brand new car


or older car that was recently painted





you cant wax a freshly painted car for 90 days, you have to let the gases escape..

Would i have glow in the dark nail polish if i mixed glo in the dark paint (for walls) and clear nail polish?

use acrylic paint. it comes in little containers for 89 cents a piece at walmart. get glow in the dark. it works. the only thing is, its not shiny like regular nail polish. you will have to paint clear over it to make it shiny.





wall paint will peel as the other answerer said because of the latex baseWould i have glow in the dark nail polish if i mixed glo in the dark paint (for walls) and clear nail polish?
SImply put, thats a terrible idea.





Generally wall paint is latex, and I wouldn't suggest painting your nails with it. I'm sure they sell glow in the dark nail polish, it would be in your best interest to find and buy the legitimate product rather than resorting to such wild thinking and/or methods.

Should i sand touchup paint before clear coat?

i have just had a go at painting the roof of my car with 3-4 cans of touch up paint after sanding all over.


i am ready to clear coat, but the red coat looks blotchy like spray paint does..


should i sand or buff the red paint before clear coating?


if so, how dry does it have to be before buffing/sanding.?


if i do sand, does that mean washing the sanded paint off before the clear goes on?


cheers, as you can see im new to this.Should i sand touchup paint before clear coat?
it's hard to answer some of this without seeing it but here it goes. the normal process whether you're using a sophisticated paint gun or a spray can, is to take the shine off of the existing surface. 600 grit sandpaper is a safe grit for any type of paint you would be spaying, although some paints would not require it to be this fine. wash the surface with water and dry. wipe the surface down with wax and grease remover, and tack the surface with a tack cloth. spray at a consistant distnace and speed overlapping each spray pattern by about 1/2 it's width. a general distance from the surface to the nozzle is about the length between your spred thumb tip to little finger tip. apply several coats, some colors take more to acheive hiding, you don't need more paint than what is necessary to achieve total hiding and even coverage. if you have roughness, dirt, or imperfections you may sand them down with water and 600 grit paper, base coat dries fast, you can probably do this within 30 minutes. clean and dry the surface and apply one more even coat. within 24 hrs. clear, if you waited longer than this you have to scuff the surface again, (and probably give one more light even coat). the base coat will not look impressive, it will be dull, but the clear will bring it to life. blotchiness can be caused by uneven application, varying distance or speed, not enough coats, moisture, improper preparation, poor agitation, and a host of others. you probably will get a small amout of unevenness because you not using precision high quality equipement. the clear needs to be applied wet, idealy 2 coats. apply it evenly and don't allow dry spots, if you have a dry streak spray more on it right away, you can't wait till you get to the other side and come back, then you will have 2 dry spots. basically, apply as thick as you can without it running, twice.Should i sand touchup paint before clear coat?
100% yes


3-4 canz is too little.


allow some period of time drying before first,second and third coat.


ok. You spray the paint as even as possible until You see the surface bright-wet and no more( in the fisrt coat you don't see any paint only the wet-shine stop there) . paint the piece of metal(have a piece if metal beside de car you painting) let the paint dry to the touch (test by touching the piece of metal) never touch the car,apply the second coat in the same manner as the first.let it dry to the touch, and so forward until the paint show an even color.


rockie stuff.....if You see a running drop in the painting do not touch do not fix, let it dry and apply the next coat over it.


fixes will be the next week.


the more coats the more time allow for dry to the touch.(alway test the piece of metal first)
First, use a fine grit sand paper to smooth out the paint, (this will make the last clear-coat stick better). Next, wash the area and allow 4-6 hours to dry. Apply the clear-coat to the smooth area, making sure to overlap onto the original paint to blend in. Usually you want at least a couple of coats for best results, let dry for a day then buff. Hope this helps........

Will wet sanding and reapplying clear coat to my paint make it look better; more info inside. (10 PTS!)?

Will wet sanding and reapplying clear coat fix this problem, or is there something else I should do?

From the pictures your clear is gone on a couple of places and the color is showing through.You cannot just spray clear over it you need to reapply color over the areas that are showing through. Not only the clear but the color is sun damaged as well. Go to the body shop and get an estimate.They will paint the roof and trunk to put color and clear back over the areas that are faded because of the UV rays.Your looking at about $500 to $800 depending on where you go.





To add a comment about what sleepy said about spraying color on without clear on it. If you find a body shop that does that you are in the wrong place. You are only going to run in to the same problem that you have now. Clear has a UV protectant in it to prevent the sun from damaging the paint. Unfortunately back in the 80's They were trying to save money and put less coats of clear on the cars and........well you see the problem. Putting color on your car without clear will not look good it will have a very dull finish.Will wet sanding and reapplying clear coat to my paint make it look better; more info inside. (10 PTS!)?
If you are going to sand and clear coat, I think you will be wasting time and money. Once you start sanding, you will find yourself cutting into the actual paint and I can almost guarantee you will cut more paint than you want and will need to apply a color coat anyway. I would only be guessing as to the price where you are at. Shop around for a complete paint job and not just a clearcoat. The sanding, prepping, and masking are all labor intensive. Spend the extra $$$ if you can and get a basecoat/clearcoat. A urethane enamal will cost a little bit more but will last a lot longer than the straight enamal most shops do their cheap paint jobs with.





If you dont want to spend the $$$ due to it's age, you might go a little cheaper and get a paint job without the clear. The drawback to this is your car is metalic and if you scratch it or need to buff it, the metalics will move in the paint and you wont be happy with the look. Some shops will paint a metalic without a clearcoat; I wont.





I have a car with the same problem and dont want to spend the $$$ on it and I can do it way cheap as I can do the work myself. My opinion is kind of like yours; it's a 94 and is it worth spending a bunch of cash on it?





Okay, after all that--I don't think you will be happy with just a clearcoat.
It wouldn't hurt to try wet sanding to see if the whitish spots regain color. If they do, you will need to wet sand the whole car before applying a clear coat to the whole car.

    What kind of clear coat is good for a fresh painted dresser?

    I just painted a dresser for my daughter's nursery and I didn't sand it first. ( i know.. rookie move) I wanted to paint a clear coat over top of it to give it a little more protection but I also don't want it to ';eat away'; at the paint (as I'm afraid polyurethane will). It's a semi-gloss paint. Any help is much appreciated...ThanksWhat kind of clear coat is good for a fresh painted dresser?
    True you should have prepped the surface, however, if the paint is thoroughly dry, a clear latex polyurethane should not disturb the paint, regardless if the coat of paint you used is oil or latex base. I used a lear exterior on porch furniture last year that I did not primer and technically didn't require sanding. I have two years now exposed to the weather indirectly and there is no sign of wear, chipping or cracking of the painted surface.What kind of clear coat is good for a fresh painted dresser?
    The clear coat will not eat away at the paint, but your final product will hold better if you wait two weeks, then sand lightly with wetted 400-grit wet-and-dry sandpaper to remove the gloss. Apply three coats of clear coat, sanding with the wet-and-dry sandpaper between coats unless the poly has a matte finish.
    for the best option take the name of the semi gloss paint to a trade store and ask for advice. normally you would not need to apply additional protection to a semi gloss in a nursery. if you are really worried about durability, repaint with a full gloss.
