hmm so just wondering..
if you paint your car, before the Clear coat.. should you wetsand your paint (the color) just to make sure its perfectly smooth? then clear coat the paint? and yes followed by wetsand.
thanks
I dont think so because of the metalic flakes and such. I was always under the impression of clear then wetsand.
the body shop i used to work at we would always color sand before clear coat, even with flakes..and if done right, the paint will be extremely glossy even before the clear coat is applied..then we would wet sand after the clear as well

I thought you are not suppose to sand the basecoat prior to clearcoating.
1.Sand/Bondo dents/ primer
2.Sand the primer
3.Time for sealer
4.Sand sealer
5.Spray basecoat
6.Spray pearl -- ( if 3 stage )
7.Clear coat.
8.Lightly sand clearcoat.
9. Buff the paint to shine.
