Laqueer Peel

Post by rob quilter » Sat May 19, 2012 5:04 pm

I've got some patches of laqueer peel on my front bumper, the car is going in the bodyshop in a few months. But can I wet sand it back and re-laqueer it just for now?

Should be fine for a temporary job if you are careful not to go throught the basecoat.

Sand it, spray it and then give it a quick buff. Happy Days!

Absolutely.

Use wet Scotchbrite pads to feather the edges.

Choose a dry day & warm the aresole in water to get max spray pressure.

A few even coats & a very light flat when dry.

Wet sand the edge with 2000 wet and dry minimum so the new lacquer hides those scratches the 2000 makes.
