While my hood cowling is off, I'm repainting it.
I put on about 5 light coats of primer, then wet sanded it so it came out as smooth as a baby's butt... at least in most places.
Now I'm putting on the Emerald Green paint... has some metallic particles in it.
I was wondering if I should wet sand this paint, lightly by hand, once it dries. Can this be done with no adverse effects?
Should I respray with a final 2 coats of green, then clearcoat once that is dry? Or, can I just clearcoat after I wet sand?
I'm concerned that I'll dull the paint somehow before putting on the clearcoat.
Just trying to get things to turn out better this time than they did with the tailgate.
ON EDIT: I'm using Duplicolor spray cans... no paint booth. This a backyard hack job at its finest.
Thanks,
Mike
