So yea I painted both of my door panels black using Dupli-Color vinyl and fabric paint. It looks ok... Seems like even though I painted the whole piece, there are places in which gaps are left since they did not get painted over. Another thing is I cannot clean the door with any cloth because seems like the paint left a rough layer. Is it because I did not clear coat?

 

on the solid pieces (not cloth), you should use a ~400 grit paper and make it nice and smooth... then paint it again and sand it again... then sand it some more with a higher grit and clear... then sand and clear some more... then sand and sand and sand and clear some more... sand with ~800 at the end and buff it...

BTW: I'd never pain my own panels... have a professional take care of your dirty work...

 

So Basically I should get rid of the texture?

 

I would say so! It would look really good as long as you do it right. You definately have to sand it down alot though.

 

Make sure you use clear coat, as paint has almost no shine to it. That is also why when you try to clean it the cloth just grabs the paint. Remember CLEARCOAT gives it the shine.

 

WHY????????????????????

WHY????????????????????

WHY????????????????????

 

which clearcoat should i get?

 

none buy new stock door panels...too RICEY

 

one question....Mmartin_47
WHY?????????

 

Why ask why...................it's his car not yours. He obvioulsy wanted it that way or he wouldn't have done it. I don't know why people that don't like something that another person has done to their car, feel the need to ask dumb questions. It's his car period If that came off harsh, that wasn't my intension. Just stating the facts.

 

thanks blakeslee.. people are here to help not say its too ricey.. they dont even know what color i painted it.. oem black....

 

I used automotive clear but you can always use rattle can clear. Just sand it between coats.

 

what do you mean automotive clear? is that the name? where can i get it?

 

u should change your name to Vanilla Rice...rice rice baby

 

Just got to Pepboys, Autozone, or whatever & get a can of clear. Just spray it on EVENLY.

 

Any clear will do?
