how to repair...

just painted my kit and waiting for it to dry. but when i was spraying it there was some bubbles on the front bumper so now i'm just letting it dry and deal with it later. what should i do? pop the bubbles and brush on some paint? then use the polishing compound? please help! tnx.

What kind/brand paint did you use?

Welcone to AF!!

I think trying to fix it might make things harder in the long run. There's no guarentee that it'll end up looking good and you might waste a lot of time. Depending on how much bubbling there is and what type of paint it is, i'd start over. I think the most common cause of bubbling is spraying on the paint too think and spraying too close to what you're painting.

When I experienced that with Tamiy spray, I sanded it smooth with 2000 grit sandpaper and resprayed.

Yep...just spray it again.Give the car a good wash in hot water again to remove any sand paper grit...allow to dry well then repaint

thanx again :D for confirming it primera man!:D
