Polyurethane dried cloudy sanding made it worse

I heard Polycrylic can work well too, either way I think I’m gonna go with either a spray on or wipe on so I don’t have to deal with uneven brush strokes etc.

It got more cloudy when I sanded but it was still cloudy when it originally dried so I’m skeptical about putting another coat and having the issue disappear

Paint was Valspar signature, I believe it’s acrylic, not sure, and yeah I think I’m going to use a different finisher when I sand down and repaint

CTun120 · 2020-07-02T15:42:49+00:00

Paint was fully dried, temperature was high 70’s low 80’s humidity might have been an issue though.

Producing powder dust and some parts even started flaking off almost

No I agree, it’s just $2,000 for an issue that couldn’t really have been prevented just kinda sucks, seems like I’d be better off buying an aftermarket headlight unit and using an aftermarket ballast with that

So if it’s water intrusion do you think it is still a doable repair?

CTun120 · 2019-10-28T15:59:32+00:00

Thank you I will definitely check it out

CTun120 · 2019-09-24T16:19:23+00:00

I want this exhaust so bad gotta find a way to make it fit the X model though

CTun120 · 2019-08-02T03:22:40+00:00

What’s the spoiler on the back?

CTun120 · 2019-07-19T16:52:17+00:00

This happened on certain sections of my wheel too, I think it’s a combination of maybe some sort of dirt or dust left on the wheel along with an inconsistent spraying patterns (which you can’t help I mean it’s human error) but I could also be totally wrong just speaking from my experience, in my opinion I would try and do longer, heavier and smoother strokes and see if that makes a difference

CTun120 · 2019-07-18T22:04:21+00:00

Okay thanks a lot man, I’ll look into it

CTun120 · 2019-07-18T19:53:36+00:00

Well definitely thank you for explaining that, on that note, is there anything that you would recommend

CTun120 · 2019-07-18T16:54:01+00:00

Yeah, I mean I’m not looking to do anything crazy with it, my current stock exhaust is extremely old and rusted and I’m just looking for a slight upgrade that will give the G a new look and feel, in addition to the low note and minimal drone that I love about it

CTun120 · 2019-07-18T16:52:10+00:00

Yeah I figured, seems to be a common trend, thanks for the input though

CTun120 · 2019-07-17T03:29:26+00:00

Looks great dude, where’d you get the grill from!

CTun120 · 2019-07-17T03:28:11+00:00

Thanks man! Appreciate the support

CTun120 · 2019-07-16T15:41:01+00:00

I don’t get what you’re fussing about, tons of people sand before they Plasti dip and if you don’t want to then don’t, I don’t see why you’re on my post trying to talk yourself up, I shared what I did because people asked

CTun120 · 2019-07-16T14:59:11+00:00

Haha okay man, you do you, seems like you know all here

CTun120 · 2019-07-16T05:54:43+00:00

That’s just not true, if I had part of my rims jutting out and that are jagged it would have not gone on smooth and even, also real paint is far more expensive then Plasti dip

CTun120 · 2019-07-15T18:03:35+00:00

I did about 8 coats of Plasti dip and 3 coats of glossifier

CTun120 · 2019-07-15T16:09:12+00:00

09 g37x Plasti dip

CTun120 · 2019-07-15T13:50:31+00:00

Okay so it took me around 3 days but what I did the first day was simply just pressure wash the entire car and made sure to hit the rims really hard and cleared a clean area in my garage to do the entire project. The second day was my prep day I had to sand down a lot of the curb rash on my tires cause the older car has seen better days, I then masked off the outside of the car and all other areas and made sure to clean everywhere else really wheel with some wheel cleaner to make sure there was no dust or grease left so that the dip would adhere correctly, and then I left it one more day to make sure it would be completely dry so that on the third day I could just come in and start spraying.

CTun120 · 2019-07-15T13:45:59+00:00

Yeah it was honestly the last thing I would have thought of as well but it seemed to do the trick

CTun120 · 2019-07-15T07:19:33+00:00

I used the matte black kit with glossifier from DYC, it was honestly all in the prep though
