Paint fix

[bonners]

Hey guys

I posted this elsewhere so if you have read it I appologise

Been painting my new Brembos to match my current theme. This is the result of one of them


Problem is that I got a bit carried away with the clear on the other one and it has done this


Notice where the clear has pooled in the middle of the lower face. How should I go about trying to remove that.

The way I painted these was to roughen up the calipers with a scothchbrite, apply a primer, paint the colour (not heatproof) and then heatproof clear. I worked on the principal of the existing brakes on the car. The existing stock brakes had a heatproof applied, then a different colour heatproof applied 12 months later and then this simple green from Bunnings. In just under 12 months, the green from Bunnings is still going strong. Using that theory, I figured the silver of the existing Brembos, plus primer, coats of green and heatproof primer should be sufficient. We'll see.

Have you got a solution for the pooling of clear? I'd love to hear. I thought of just using some wax and grease remover and then applying some more clear or would I be better off simply rubbing back with scotchbrite, some more green and then clear

Sand it out with 800 paper and put one more coat of clear on it mate

no sand it out with 1500/2000 and then 4000 if you can get your hands on it and then polish no need to repaint

Thanks guys

However, it has appeared to keep drying and I question if I should attempt a fix or simply or leave it. The photo I posted above was after 20 mins of drying and it simply seemed it wasnt going to dry.

Now, after a bit more, the 'moun' is still there but it has gotten smaller and the 'cloudiness' is going. Perhaps I should just leave it for now and see how it dries for the rest of the day.

Thanks for your comments. They will be taken under advisement if I do need to correct it.

Cheers

Put a spot light or some sort of heat light over it and that will help it dry out flat
