So,
I painted this motorcycle gas tank using PPG Blue and a 2K clear, both shot out of a spray can. The paint laid down perfect, but I didn't do so well with the clear. Of course all the drips are in the ABSOLUTE WORST SPOT IMAGINABLE; that being the bottom of the tank in the center, right along the EDGE; you know, the spot that's going to be the thinnest, and also be the hardest to buff, because buffers tend to remove paint from the edges the quickest. I laid the clear on the opposite side, and the top of the tank perfect, so I would really like to get this thing finished off the right way. What's the best way to tackle the job? I was thinking of attempting to sand the drips out with 2000 grit (wet sand) and then slowly buff. Will my Rotary be able to tackle this job at a really slow speed? Do I need to use a sanding block to wet sand the drips out or will it go alright without one? What should I use to polish out the tanks, and the rounded edges and angles of it. I have orange and white micro pads for my Makita; I have Megs UC, Megs swirl free polish, 4star LLC & SMR, Menzerna IP and 106FF, Danase Swirl Abolisher III. If I need to buy a special pad I would be glad to do so. I just don't want to burn though the paint this late in the game!!!
Thanks,
Dan
