What do you have to do to get rid of a run in the clear coat?

[Nicky Pass]

There is a run in my bro's 93 Vette....can it be buffed smooth....or do you have to wet sand with 2000 grit then buff? OR...do you guys have any suggestions?

~ One man’s opinion / observations ~



Orange Peel:



Orange Peel is paint film surface that has a dimpled appearance that paint takes on due to improper pre-paint preparation and /or paint application, or the uneven application or uneven drying of the clear coat. It is eliminated after the final shooting of clear coat by wet sanding the paint film surface, and polishing with a mildly abrasive polish and a high-speed rotary polisher.

The most effective way to do this is to in fact wet-sand then buff the paint to level it. It will work...
