new paint job

[Guest]

hey ive searched this topic a couple times and this hasnt really been discusted from what i saw, ok i have not alot of money. I want my car painted and I also have a body kit to be painted. Heres my question, im painting it same color and the paint on there now isnt too bad, a few chips but nothing major, so can they just sand the clear coat touch it up and re-clearcoat it?<P>Thanks TIm Dawson

with a paint job? nope when they sand it they sand it bare. im not sure if its possible to sand the clearcoat only.

Sure it is possible to sand just the clearcoat, but the hard part would be to know when you got down the the colored basecoat without taking the paint off. And you do not have to take it to bare metal. All you need to do is kill the shine in the paint by wetsanding it (using progressivly finer paper).

first of all mazda didnt use a clearcoat till 96 I believe...second I paid over 2k for my paint job and it still looks like ****, be careful, and research what you want, ask to look at cars etc...

popular misconception. Both of my 94's have clearcoat

So does my 95.

yo, why dont you just wait till summer time to paint it and put the kit on, that way you will have more money and you can get a better paint job??? just curious
