thanks. Hopefully, I don't mess it up when removing the runs.Nice job Picasso!
You going to cut with 2000 grit and a DA?thanks. Hopefully, I don't mess it up when removing the runs.
Depending on how bad the runs are, you could pick up a run razor and shave them off, then wet sand with 2000, and follow up with compound.thanks. Hopefully, I don't mess it up when removing the runs.
I'm too nervous to use a DA on it. It's on the round section.You going to cut with 2000 grit and a DA?
I think I'm going to attempt to use a painting stick as a block and sand them down with 1500. Then move up to 2000-3000. I may try the razor blade technique, but my thought is that I'll wait though until they are mounted on the jeep so it's not flopping around on the string hangers.Depending on how bad the runs are, you could pick up a run razor and shave them off, then wet sand with 2000, and follow up with compound.
I just need to take a trip and have you paint my entire TJ

I'm debating just leaving it after that and hiring someone around April, so the paint is fully cured, to cut/buff the whole jeep. I'm worried with the round edges I'll burn through the clear.
The other side is similar but not as bad.

I'm prepared for that. With any luck, I'll be able to knock it down but I'm not super hopeful.Looks awesome. Once you paint something the first time with a gun, you realize it's not easy, but not hard either. You learn, and the results are satisfying!
Based on where the run is, and how severe, you'll likely have to re-do it. Sanding by hand on curves/edges generally results on getting into the color. The trick is to not get ahead of yourself with the clear. More coats, but thinner, is the way to go here!
Scrape that edge up against an object enough times off camber and those runs will buff right out!I'm too nervous to use a DA on it. It's on the round section.

Right?!? It's funny how much effort I'm putting into something that's very likely to be hit with a rockScrape that edge up against an object enough times off camber and those runs will buff right out!
I did the same on my Rock Sliders. Even went to a shop, used hardener, reducer, all that, 2K paint. 2K paint ain't stopping granite rock from scraping through. However, it's at least a project and something we can use to perfect a skill.Right?!? It's funny how much effort I'm putting into something that's very likely to be hit with a rock
There's truth to this. I spent a lot of time body matching MC fenders on my LJ. Second trip out my Son put the left rear flare hard into tree. I left the mark there to remind him to listen to me. BTW, it didn't work!Right?!? It's funny how much effort I'm putting into something that's very likely to be hit with a rock
You could do it. It's no different then anything else, just takes practice and a few mistakes!You're a lot braver than I am. I'd hate to see what a paint job I did would look like.
