| | | Seems I have wet sanded through my CC with 2000grit
I wasnt trying to remove a scratch, i was just taking off some extra touchup pait around the scratch, at first i thought it was more extra paint so I sanded some more, but it wouldnt go away. Know im thinking i sanded down past my CC. here is a pic: 
It should not be to hard to fix, im just going to touch it up and shoot more clear. |

Fixing it will be harder then you think.
Back away from the sandpaper, it is not your friend

| | | If you are through the CC take it to a good body shop and have the area resprayed. It shouldn't cost a fortune.
How long did you sand and was the paper/block well lubricated? |

| | | I sprayed water on there every few seconds as i was working, i dont see how it happend because i was only sanding enough to take the touch up paint off the CC. I have some paint i got from the dealer and some CC so i think it will be okay, at this point i do not believe that i need to get it done at a body shop, but as a last resort i will. I just have to figure out why this happened. I didnt use any thing stronger than 2000 the whole time. I put a bit of touch uo paint in the area and i am going to sand it down abit to get it smooth.
now ive been thinking, do i have to polish the scratches out before i shoot the clear? I was thinking that if i just shoot on some clear with out polishing out the marks that the CC it will fill in all of the marks and hide them. thoughts? |

| | | I am glad Zoranc told me to put down the water before reading this one, but I am ROFLMAO. I really think you need to go to a body shop and get some scrap panels to practice on and stay away from your cars. |

Trust me, it isn't that easy to make it look good and last. Doing research before wetsanding might have been good. :P let us know how it goes. | | |
