Random question on wetsanding

do you think for this type of clear coat that has blistered like this would be able to be set sanded, polished, ect and something like a rattle can clear be added on it and get something normal looking come out as a result?



There is about 4-5 spots all over the car that has this type of blistering and i bought it like this. Worst case scenario is i repaint it eventually. No loss on what i think of the car, just trying to see if theres anything I can do before i turn it over to a bodyshop for a full respray.

a can clear will never compare to a sprayed clear.

you can try to buff and polish it but be careful not to burn through.

i doubt it would work cause its peeling but if it feathers you might be able to make it look half decent. Whatever you do please dont use a canned clear.

hope this helps

ill post pics of my car later but i had bad oxidization also and all i had 2 do was clear coat over it. now it looks fine. well it doesnt look like a professional job or anything but $10 on 2 cans of clear coat sounds alot better then the pricey full paint job they charge at the shops. i only wet sanded the lines between the oxidized part and the non oxidized part jus 2 even it out then clear coated.

I just went into a paint suuplier, and he said our cars don't have clear coats stock, they're just sprayed with high gloss enamel.... Don't know if he's right, but it could make sence...

Ive tried wetsanding, buffing, all that good stuff. Havent tried clear coat yet though

I found Wd40 as a temp solution til I get mine painted.

You can see what I mean in my Oxidized paint thread in the appearance forum. Ill add a link if you cant find it. Early 90's Mazda paint cannot stand up to Arizona weather, so I feel ya.
