[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16708545, member: 70025"] Hello Geoff. Thank you for your comment on the paint overall. I "AM" happy with the overall results. When it comes to my property and my mistakes I don't sweat it too much. Who is going to yell at me or complain? LOL. Now if I were getting paid by someone and this was their car my stress level would be elevated LOL. No sir, this is not a matter of not having enough clear. Having solvent pop is an example of having too much clear on the car. In my case it was a rookie mistake. A rule when cutting a car is to stay away from body lines and edges. Those place naturally have a limited amount of material. Gravity/physics tends to pull material off these raised areas. I think when I was sanding I was leaning/riding the body line/edge rather than staying off of it. I sometimes use a bendable sanding block to contour to the panel. I was probably putting to much pressure on the block while sanding in that area. Problem is you don't notice your mistake until it's too late and you see color on the sand paper LOL. I'll get her fixed up next weekend. It looks bad, but the area is not a difficult area to fix. I can sand the body line on the door. Then I can spray the red to cover the mistake. Then from the body line down I can clear the whole door where the side stripe is. You will never see the repair. Same with the solvent pop area. I can sand the area, spray color and then blend the clear into the door. Once it's sanded and buffed you'll never notice it. [/QUOTE]
