Clear Coat

I was peeling up an old 3M clear film and it was coming up fine. When I got to the front I noticed it had taken some of the clear with it over the pin striping. I'll probably take it to a local body shop. Can they clean this up or am I looking at a total respray?

They may be able to scuff it and reclear it.

 

Local body shop recommends I use clear nail polish and wet sand with 3000 grit...

 

Might give this a try. Anyone have experience with this stuff?

 

Should be okay, it's not by an edge that is easy to sand through.

 

3000? id start with 400-600 and make sure the bond is good on delam edge with a metal pick(delicate lift of edge)....good way to know if it will happen again

btw feathering requires good wet sanding skills(u cant see when its wet)

 

in other words u better feth r the edge or eles u dig too far into other paint

 

Luckily the clear on the stripe is higher than the clear on the red and white so I didnt need to feather it too much, just softened the edges. It came out ok, but I sanded thru on 3 small spots.
