Hey Dan, this helps a lot! This is probably a really naive question (ties in with my posting above), but if I scuff up the area and then back tape, won`t there be small parts that get scuffed up but that won`t be reached by base coat and clear coat? I guess I am worried that I will either a) scuff up something that won`t get paint or b) apply paint to an area that isn`t scuffed up.
Edit: Oh, wait. Let me try to answer my own question. The scuffing only affects the surface of the clear coat. So what I do is I scuff up a generous area, but I only apply base coat to a smaller area within that (using the back taping or then blending technique). Then I apply clear coat to the whole area that I scuffed, so that everything is nice and shiny again. Did I get that right?
