So anyone who read CharlesW's post earlier knew this was coming. Friday, gave the Z a good wash and wax after tinting the windows. Saturday went to eat and it got hit in the parking lot.
Before I did anything
From here, I stripped it with Dawn, clayed with meguier's clay, and hit it with 2.5 on with an orange pad with a PC. Most of the scratches came out, the spots where it was down to the plastic remained
So I'm thinking of trying my hand at touch up, wet sanding, and finishing. I'm totally new to this, aside from what I've been reading up on here. My questions are:
1. My experience with touch up have not been good, is there another route to go to get paint that matches better?
2. Bein that it's down to the plastic, would some sort of primer be required
3. Will a clear coat be required
4. Can this even be done with a PC
And 5. Anything you can add to wetsanding, how to go about it, where to get the paper, what kind to get, and so on...
Thanks in advance! :thanks
