Grandeur, Then and Now!

Thanks guys for the feedback and suggestions. @Fiat-Yamaha. I was too late to read your feedback . Today morning I tried a small job on driver side A-Pillar. The mark was less prominent and not so easily noticeable so I thought it won't differentiate much if things go wrong . So here's how I did.

Steps:

1. Clean the surface
2. Used emery paper to smooth-en the surface before applying color spray.
3. Once the surface was smooth and clean, I used the color spray bottle on required surface.
4. Immediately after color, use the com-merge can and spray over the area.
5. For the first time user like me, the first attempt was not successful, I saw few bubbles which I immediately rubbed with fingers with plastic gloves on and made it look smooth, it really helped.

As per instruction I have to leave the pain for another 24 hrs than I'll put Com-Cut on the painted area. So my next update will be by tomorrow.

However, after finishing the job I'm not confident that I could go further and do the main job which is required on rear wheel arch. I'll wait for another few days or weeks before I do the next job to see the result and how the paint last under the sun. Hope no bubbles and any other issues arise.

Well, take a look at it in pictures.

Wow, thats almost perfect. No touch up signs altogether. the good thing you did was sprayed on entire pillar area. The masking done is very professional, even the good painters dont take so much care.

 

You are absolutely right, Sandeep. When I tried I also noticed those bubble like perforations or impurity-like marks making the paint surface uneven. How is the difference in shine as compared to original surface nearby?
