1969 Camaro help!

[Fragmenter]

Hi guys. Just started my build on my 69 camaro. I'm looking for some paint advice. I have 7 or 8 fisheyes on the body as you can see in the picture. I am wondering how I should address these. A little background on prep.

Washed the body and dried with Dawn dish soap.

Primed 2 coats and sanded with 320 grit. I then wiped the body clean.

Laid on one coat of testors gloss yellow enamel. I hate this stuff btw. Had much better luck with their lacquer.

I am wondering how I can remove these and re coat without getting an uneven color? Or...do I need to remove all the paint and start over? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Sand down the trouble spots, mask off and reshoot. Since it's a solid color (no metal flake) wet sand away any paint edges with a high grit before clear and you should be okay. If it looks bad after, THEN dunk it.

Warning, with most enamel paints you'll need to wait two weeks after sanding before recoating to avoid wrinkling. Also 320 grit is much to coarse of paper to sand your primer with before applying the finish color on a model, it's o.k.on a full size car, but on a model it's going to look like you did the sanding on a full size car with 36 grit paper, usually the coarsest grit to use would be 800p, which surprisingly enough is coarser than 600, the p designation is a European grit and is slightly coarser than the U.S.600 grit designation.

If it were mine I'd toss it in the purple pond and start over, after a soak in that anything that is causing fisheye will be gone.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I am leaning towards stripping it at this point, and possibly going back to a lacquer.

Your problem may have been "wiping" it clean after sanding. I would wash it with hot water & detergent & air dry it before paint. You may have left behind some dust or other impurity. Steve
