I just wanted all the exposed parts clear coated... ended up having enough clear to do the sides too. I started with sides and they turned out good.
Its the front of the cab that the clear overspray was drying and building up as I was painting


The sides,all rear panels,top, cp, keyboard door all look good....
Just the front did this.... really pissed.... I spent the most time and care on the front,sanding and extra coats....then this.

Can I just let it dry 48 hrs.... sand smooth, paint black again....wait 48 and re clear?


I thought it did this because the front i added a 3rd coat of black about 30min before the clear but in the 4th pic... you can see the worst area is the middle shelf and it was painted over a week ago. Its like when I changed cans this happened.... the clear looked white....bad gummy overspray... maybe a bad mixture in that can...I should of tossed it. Arggggg  :banghead:
ChanceKJ:
Yep, let it dry, cure, sand it, then hit it again. You'll be ok. I think you might have put that clear coat on too thick. A few light even coats from the proper distance written on the label will do.
deezdrama:
Was putting on light coats.... not a run on the cab, had to of been a bad can or chemical reaction from the black coat before it just being laid.... I dont know but wasnt a heavy coat.

So do you guys think i should just lay black back over this after waiting a couple days and a little sanding?
deezdrama:
I just looked at it again and its about 80% clear now.
Strange...
Hopefully it clears up a little more and I could live with it.

Theres still a heavy dust layer of overspray in areas.... whats the best way to get rid of it? 1000 grit.....2000 grit sanding?

I recommend a good screaming at.  Maybe a harsh glare or two.
