Ok, I managed to get an really good coat of paint down on my celica but it has a fair bit of hair and crap in it ( I think I must be molting :screwy: ). Anyways is it best to lightly sand this out or will that wreck the finish? (taminya TS21 gold spray). Ive got clear to go yet, will that cover most of the crap?
Also, should I put on bare metal foil and PE badges/emblems on before the clear or after? I thought the clear might help protect them...
Thanks

Uh... I think you have to sand it down, Re-Spray gold, then clear coat... cuz i think the gold kinda darkens or sumthing when sanded
as for the PE... dunno... the stuff is way to hi-tech for me i've never used it :lol:

You can carefully sand, then since its mettalic you need to lay down a nice new coat of paint to make it even. Try to keep the hair out of it this time :lol2: :lol2:
As far as BMF and PE, I have had good luck clear caoting over the BMF. Apply it and lightly polish before clearing.
I would not recommend doing the PE parts until the end, after the body is polished and ready to go.
