Runs/Sags

* An example of this type of paint challenge, but not necessarily the only representation.

PAINT ISSUE:

drips in car paint fix -OR- runs in clear coat -OR- sagging paint after spraying

PREVENTION:

  • Apply thinner, even coats.
  • Hold gun perpendicular and parallel to the panel, adjust speed and pattern overlap.
  • Mix paint according to product directions and set gun pressure properly.
  • Use correct reducer/hardener for conditions.
  • Watch gun distance and speed; don’t “flood” the panel.

TO REPAIR:

  • Heavy runs may require sanding and repainting.
  • Let fully dry, then wet sand with a sanding block until flat and polish.
  • Remove wet paint with solvent and refinish if caught immediately.
