You know, if I was wealthy and no family I would load up a trailer with everything I need to do restorations and travel around the US helping out my fellow board members. That would be cool.

I'll find out tonight. I generally have good results. I'm kind of worried that metalics are piled up right there in the run. The bad thing is they are in a very noticeable spot.

Alan you have no one to blame but yourself on this jacking if it takes off

"Sexier than socks on a rooster"
That's just too funny there.

70 Suburban · 05-18-2009, 01:26 PM

Hate to say it but if the clear is fresh you could sand it blend the color back then reclear.. That spot in ther rear may be hard to see when blended.

scotts62 · 05-18-2009, 02:33 PM

Have you figured out the run situation yet Alan? You going to take a lot of tedious wet sanding and try and not go through or sand it down and re clear?

aggie91 · 05-18-2009, 02:39 PM

Man, Allan, the more I read your thread the more impressed I am with your skills. Your painting is outstanding. I had a run similar to yours in a door, luckily, I could use a block to sand it our and keep it level. That one is in a tricky spot since the panel is concaved. I know that you will make it right!

Really digging your colors. You have insired me to work on mine again and to get my shop started. I think I asked before, but what size is your home shop?

I'm still at work, so no nothing has been done yet. I'll work on it tonight after the kiddies go too bed. I'm going to try my damdest not too go thru, but if it happens at least I tried. I will take my time with it. I'll up date tonight with pics of how I use the putty.

Thanks aggie, glad I can impress someone.

My shop is a 30x30

70 Suburban · 05-18-2009, 04:14 PM

I see yours at 30x30 and mine seems so small at 25x30

Strodder · 05-18-2009, 08:24 PM

Allan, I've been gone since Friday. Man your getting some work done.

It's coming out really good. I like the color combo even more now, Fish Eyes, and runs suck. Don't they have a tool to shave off runs? Then color sand them out.

No matter how big your work area is it will never be big enough.

Thanks Dennis, they do have a tool like that. I don't have one, but have used one.

Ok here is the process I went thru in sanding out a run. It took me about an hour taking my time. In that amount of time I could have sanded and recleared. Then there is the materials cost. I've still got 3 more to work out. What would really suck is sand thru on the last one. With this process it can still happen, but not as much.

This is what I used. there are other products that can be used.

Apply it sparingly. It takes along time to sand it off.

This a small block I cut from a large paint stir stick. I used 1000 grit and went over it with 2000 prior to buffing.

Sanding progress

Mini air powered buffer

Buffed but still needs a little more.

protrash64 · 05-18-2009, 11:51 PM

I had a container of that in my hand after our pm's. I think the glaze is what I really need to use. Thats a good use for it cutting those runs down.

TimE · 05-19-2009, 05:44 AM

Great work Alan. It's little tricks like these that help edjumacate us all on paint/body. Keep it up!

joe231 · 05-19-2009, 07:25 AM

keep it up!!

I saw a trick on tv to use a razor blade perpendicular to the surface and scrape the run down then you can sand to smooth it out, then buff.... any thoughts?

scotts62 · 05-19-2009, 07:39 AM

I have one of these, it works pretty good but ill have to try the glaze sometime.

Strodder · 05-19-2009, 10:46 AM

If you have a steady hand and the clear is cured good it can be done. Have to watch the corners of the blade. I've done it before and was nervous the whole time. If the clear is not fully cured it can roll up the clear and take out a chunk. A convex curve would be a little easier to learn on if the need ever arises.

Hey ya'll, how 'bout some rep points for that one. Yes I'm begging.

Out of about 300 views a day on average one person gave out rep points for that tip.
