sonic Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 as a temp measure i am doing my bonnet satin black , sanded and filled the fook out of it , but when it comes to the satin top coat i keep getting a patchy result , satin/matt black , if i wet n dry like normal paint it will end up dull and if the then polish it up again i presume it will end up shiny (not satin) and tips , on my 3rd coat at the mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperman Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 sounds like you need to work a little slower and get a good even cover on it. last time i did a satin rattle can job it did take about 5-6 layers to cover a blue vw caddy consistantly.

sonic Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 hope your preps good cus satins errrrrrrrrr testing thats why i am using satin , done the bonnet the other day in body colour and once dried you could see every mark , havent got the time or the funds to get it done again before the jae , so satin black shows all the marks , so if i can get it looking spot on in satin then when its top coated it will look mint , and satin looks cooler than battle grey undercoat so i wont have a monk on at the jae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic Posted August 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 well as i am bored , car off the road due to the arb going for a wonder , i had a little tinker to cure my curiosity , flatted bonnet down again , with 1200 grit wetndry then 2000 grit (in the rain ) , then got some cutting compound on the light cover as suspected , nice and shiny so at least worse case at the jae i will have a nice 'shiny' black bonnet and lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
