--STORY--
So I got the dupli color - scratch fix 2in1 touch up repair kit to fix a chip on the box driver side door :( . Followed the instruction and had to do some sanding at the end, which was after clearcoating.
So after the clearcoat dried I started sanding with the sand paper included with the kit. I readed up on repairing chips on the internet before doing this and follow the sandpaper chad on a pencil eraser technique since it was a small chip. I sand the area carefully with plenty of water and checking/feeling on it to make sure I was not over sanding. Every thing felt smooth so i thought everything was find.
--PROBLEM--
In direct sun light, the area I've been working on looks like a bulge or a deep crater, at diffrent angles. Its really noticable, looks worser than the chip :cry: ...
I can,t really tell, because when i feel on it i fell nothing. i even try slaping on some play-doh to see what it was, nothing...
I sometimes have the feeling that i over sanded because that crater looks really convicing, but on the other hand, when it looks like a bulge i get the urge to sand off that mug. If it was a bulge, due to left over clearcoat, that would would be a good thing.
i have dont know what else i can do but to start the repair all over. any suggestions?
--Question--
1. How do I get the touchup clear coat off so I can get to the chip without making thing worse? Any products out there?
2. If it did ended up being a crater due to over sanding, what can I do to make it less noticeable...will adding more clearcoat work?
