Will this work? side note* I have to re-spray some clear coat over some existing clear coat for another unrelated project - would sanding with 1200 grit provide a good enough surface for the new clear to stick or should I go lower in grit? Thanks in advance for all suggestions. Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 7, 2021, 7:11 AM Post #2 of 4 (942 views) Re: wheel rim clearcoat bad orange peel - will this fix it Sign In All this is dependent on the type of paint used and whether it is compatible with overcoating. Some paints will have a bad reaction when you do that. Check with the manufacturer for recoating instructions. I think you will be sanding for an awful long time with 2000. Maybe start with some 600 and finish with 1500. You also need to check with the manufacturer on how soon you can sand it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. smithqd New User Jul 7, 2021, 7:31 AM Post #3 of 4 (930 views) Re: wheel rim clearcoat bad orange peel - will this fix it Sign In Thank you for the advice - I will check to make sure the paint can be recoated. Should I start with 600 and go up to 1500 then polish for the orange peel? Or did you mean to use these grits for re-clear coating the unrelated side project.

If you're going to repaint you can stop after the 600. If you're going to buff it, finish with 1500. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
