[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16711313, member: 70025"] Then today I started on the driver's side. Here is the QTR. I sanded this area with 800 grit wet, which is why the burn through is more apparent now. [ATTACH type="full"]1732382[/ATTACH] I placed some tape on the QTR panel and sanded the area which is why there is an outline. [ATTACH type="full"]1732383[/ATTACH] I am taping around the area and I have to go from the outside and work my way in. I need to place the tape that the plastic will adhere too. Then I have to put tape strips working in towards the repair area. These strips will be removed while the clear is still wet. [ATTACH type="full"]1732384[/ATTACH] And here is the infamous white foam tape. Okay the trick here is to "NOT" spray on the foam tape. I will work "within" the foam tape area to keep from forming a hard line this time. [ATTACH type="full"]1732385[/ATTACH] You can see some black sharpie marks on my foam tape. This is to guide me on where my color will be sprayed and where my clear will be sprayed. The color has been sprayed in this picture and you can see the color does not go all the way down to the bottom foam tape. [ATTACH type="full"]1732386[/ATTACH] I had to use 600 grit wet to get the solvent pop out of the door. [ATTACH type="full"]1732387[/ATTACH] Here is the door after the 800 grit wet is complete. [ATTACH type="full"]1732388[/ATTACH] While I was sanding I noticed this black spec. It is under the clear from the first go around. So, this is another spot on the driver's door I need to add some color. [ATTACH type="full"]1732389[/ATTACH] Here you can see the solvent pop is gone and there is good color coverage. [ATTACH type="full"]1732390[/ATTACH] After I spot painted the door with full strength base coat. I did the same thing here and thinned out my paint and laid down an orientation coat on the whole door. [ATTACH type="full"]1732391[/ATTACH] Looks great now. It is too windy for my to spray clear coat today. If I did a ton of trash would be blown into my clear coat. So, I'll stop here and later this week I'll go in the garage and apply the clear coat. Hopefully all the painting on the body will be done after this. Then I can move on to other parts, such as the radiator cover, rear bumper and headlight buckets. [/QUOTE]
