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.
