Help with DIY spraying

[MrBlonde]

so today I decided to have ago a temporary fixing my lower rear quarter.
I have the proper matched paint of D43 that i got made up.

So to cant a long story short it didn't come out right which is strange as other side is fine.

After i sprayed the laquer on i let it dry and then rubbed down with wet dry paper 1200/1500 grade & used G3 to buff iy out.

Anyway how do I correct this balls up please?.is it to much paint or laquer??

 

[Mr Plums]

Thats a lacquer line, you will be chasing it forever if you keep trying to rub it away, the whole quatre would need lacquering really to get rid of it.

 

[MrBlonde]

Ah crap!.ok mate,would you suggest just scotching the area & spray over it for now? @Christ Almighty

What's going on behind your side strips? Did you not remove these before painting?

Ive removed all the masking tape that I covered them up.

What was up with the quarter?

 

[MrBlonde]

What was up with the quarter?

Just had small rust bubbles coming up

 

[imprezaworks]

When you say temp fix, what do you mean? As there must be water getting into the arch to cause the rust bubbles.

Just until i can get it done by a bodyshop,ive got a big holiday coming up so cant spend out on anything big & ive had the week off & got a bit bored.

 

[imprezaworks]

Ah fair one. Hope it turns out ok mate

 

[MrBlonde]

Worst case is wait till after my hols & get it done by a bodyshop,oh well live & learn haha.

 

[imprezaworks]

I would tbh. To do it properly and well it would need to go somewhere. I dare say you will make it worse, and tbh your wasting your time. Rust is there for a reason, maybe need metal plates over and holes and looked at properly.

 

[Crybert]

Unless the rust had majorly taken over (which I'm sure it hadn't) then you've actually made it worse! Should have just held off and got it repaired by a pro

 

[MrBlonde]

There was no rust to be fair under the bubbles & yep i know i have made it worst,but we cant help ourselfs sometimes when it comes to cars & like i said if i wasn't going on a big hols I would of just taken it to a bodyshop

 

[Crybert]

A decent Bodyshop should have no problem sorting it though. I wouldn't try rub it back or anything. Just take it to them as is and tell them what you've done and they'll sort it

 

[imprezaworks]

Yep as chris says mate.

But yeah we're all guilty of trying stuff lol

 

[MrBlonde]

The Annoying thing is the other side has come out alright.

 

[imprezaworks]

Will be a reaction then. Have you a pic of the other side

Can get one tomorrow,prob just did that side ok & this side not.I think i just rushed it to much & didn't blend it well or to much of an area.

 

[MrBlonde]

The other side @imprezaworks

Still needs a bit of buffing tho

 

[imprezaworks]

Its hard to really tell, but that doesnt look too good really mate.

To be done properly the whole quarter will need blending in.

I know you have just done a temp fix etc

 

[MrBlonde]

Yeah will get it done after my hols,it looks much better than the other side i guess and can only tell if looking at it.

[imprezaworks]

Good stuff mate.
