[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16711310, member: 70025"] Okay everyone, advanced automotive painting class continues LOL. I tried to spot fix the passenger door. The bottom came out perfect (stripe area). However, the top corner experienced a slight set back. Again this is due to me not doing things properly and not knowing how to properly utilize my supplies. No problem. I continue to learn on my car :D. Nothing like being self taught LOL. Okay, I use the white foam tape in order to create a soft edge. Well, apparently if you spray all the way "down" on to the foam tape material will build up and create a hard edge anyway (oops. Now I know not to do this LOL). You can see the clear coat line in this photo. I thought I could sand it out. However, the area "below" the line, where there is not that much material, I burnt through....again..... Time to figure this out. [ATTACH type="full"]1732373[/ATTACH] I went into the garage Friday night around 10PM. I tried to sand the clear coat line out and that's when I busted through the clear again. So, I decided to bite the bullet and just sand the whole door and get it right. I sanded the clear coat line out with 600 grit wet and then I did the entire door (to include the stripe area) with 800 grit wet. Once I did that I decided to spray some sealer over the burn through area to give me an even surface to cover/work with. I finished this around 12:30 AM (And No, I didn't see Santa at my house. Guess I'm being punished for sucking at paint repair LMAO!!!) [ATTACH type="full"]1732374[/ATTACH] Here is a close up to show the line is gone and the sealer is even. [ATTACH type="full"]1732375[/ATTACH] I got up early on Saturday and opened presents with the family (Santa brought me something after all LOL). After that was done I went in the garage to spray the color. I had to go to my parents house in the afternoon, so I only sprayed color. [ATTACH type="full"]1732376[/ATTACH] Now the entire door has coverage and is even (again LOL). I should have just re-cleared the whole door when I got to this point the last time.

[ATTACH type="full"]1732378[/ATTACH] I'll leave the passenger side in base coat and then fix the driver's side and then clear coat everything at once. [ATTACH type="full"]1732379[/ATTACH] After I finished spraying the door with full strength base coat I thinned out my paint and then moved the gun from 6 inches away to 10 inches away from the door and laid down an orientation coat.
