the clear coat on my car (silver) is peeling away, can i have it sanded and clear coated without repainting?

Answer 1

No. First off, clear coating IS painting. Secondly, there is a reason the clear is peeling. Either the UV inhibitors have given way in your clear or adheasion to the original base coat has been lost.......or both. Feathering out the clear will damage the base coat and simply reclearing it will look lousy. You'll see sanding scratches and uneven color. Not to mention, any of your current clear that has lost adhesion, but is still on the vehicle will eventually come loose anyway, taking your "new" clear with it. When one of these come into the shop I just have the guys razor blade the loose clear off, sand the entire vehicle and repaint. There's really no other way around it that will look decent and last.

Answer 2

No! The base coats are not sanded. You will have to sand it and apply a primer/sealer coat and repaint the whole car or if possible you could do just the whole sections that are peeling.

Answer 3

maximum sparkling coats go over non-bright base coats and that they don't buff to a shine, nor do they supply UV risk-free practices and the are actually not almost as good as a sparkling coat. you should constantly sand right down to the colour and stick to yet another sparkling coat. in case your paint is a steel and you sand into the colour, you will sand down the steel shards, inflicting variations interior the end. if it particularly is a sturdy coloration, make constructive to not sand into the primer coat.

Answer 4

are you saying the clear top coat [ on top of the silver ] is peeling away?.........as long as it,s just the clear coat that,s peeling.......and not the silver base coat..........then yes........it can be sanded & recoated..............since clear coat is simply paint without pigment!

Answer 5

Nope.
