Civic EG

I decided to spray paint my fenders and bumper since they were trash. well I did one fender it looked excellent except I sanded through the edges by mistake when buffing it. so I stripped it and painted it again with the bumper. Now I painted in a shed at about 70F

I painted like 5 coats after the primes then about 3-4 light coats of clear. The paint feels like sandpaper , its gritty and dull. What am I to do?

wet sand and then clear some more like 3 or 4 layers then wet sand again and then clear 3 or 4 more layers and then buff at a really low speed

what rating sand paper?

something high like 1200 or 1500 depending on the amount of orange peel. then keep moving up in the grit to 1500, then 2000, then buff

Its not orange peel it feels like overspray or little bits of sand everywhere

then try the 2000 grit for a little bit. drop down to 1500 if you need to but I don't think you will.

Sounds like dryspray - you didnt spray enough on basically. Will take a while to sand using 2000, if i were you id use 1200 - 1500 first then see how it looks and judge whether you need to paint it again or not

ok so when I sand down with 1500 the new clear coat will bond to it without peeling later?

and im using an enamal does it matter when I sand and recoat?
