here is a pic of the roof of my blazer any suggestions on shinning it up?



Thanks,

 

I think its too far gone to shine it... You could wet sand it to try to get the dead paint off, but the clearcoat looks like its gone.

 

So if i wet sand it with 400 grit and then re-clear cote it will be good?


Thanks,

 

You can do that, but why don't you just repaint the whole thing?

 

Well i plan on painting the whole thing, but i'm on a budget so if i can save a little cash would be nice.


Thanks,

 

yoh bud, i'd wait till ya shoot the color. if you go into your color while sanding then u got another job. your clear is gone now. only u know its up there. hehe bubba

 

Kinda hard to tell the condition and what to do from the picture but, if you're bored, try to get all the dead paint and clear coat off, and sand, finishing with 600 grit or something.If you're not down to the primer you might get lucky with a can of clear coat. If it's too far gone and primer and metal are showing get ready to pay for a paint job or do more sanding and spraybombing. It is possible to get a decent job from a spraycan.

I'm not a painter, but I am a detailer/polisher. I can help lots when there is paint to help, but I think your paint is completely dead.

 

i would just not worry with it and wait until you can paint the whole thing

 

its shot. take off the rack, tape it off and re base it black and clear it. since your gonna paint the whole thing i wouldn't mess with it till then. You could sand it with 600 and rattle can it with some black and then some clear. Might turn out decent depends on how good you are. Its a pain the the *** to paint a roof. You gotta think about what your going to stand on to get above it too.

 

This happened on one of my buddy's cars. We sanded it to get what was left of the clearcoat off and then rattlecanned it with some clear and wet sanded it. It came out looking like new. Just take your time and use plenty of water when wetsanding.
