So, the rx8 has suddenly decided it didn't want clearcoat on the front bumper anymore! It all just decided it was gonna start flaking in 1 day after a rainstorm.
As far as I can tell, the paint and clearcoat are original.
How do I make this look okay/ decent but not ruin for a proper repaint in the future?
Wet sand and clearcoat? If so, can ya hit me with some advice? What grit? What lubricant? What type of clearcoat?
Any advice is appreciate!
I have wetsanded and recleared with success. Anything loose needs to come off obviously, i stick to 1500-2000 for the feathering because coarser papers can cut right through the color and leave you stuck.
Well... I followed Patrick and Michael's advice....
It seems this was an aftermarket paint job and the clear itself.... wasn't. It had a dark blue tint to it.
That means that once sanded and cleared, it's a different shade.
Still looks better than peeling paint. Should still be able to get a pro to fix it post challenge.
Some clears are tinted. Looks like you found one.
