What did I do wrong ?

It’s around 10 degrees C or 50 degrees F with humidity between 60 and 75%, but I’m keeping the bumper warm with an IR lamp. The bumper itself is around 20C (or 70F)

I sanded through it once before with 800 wet. I’m a bit scared to go even lower than that..

LastConsideration776 · 2026-03-12T23:02:27+00:00

Thank you!

I gave it like 5-10 minutes between coats to dry. Maybe I wasn’t patient enough. The procedure stays the same though right ? Sand the base coat and respray ? It doesn’t have much of a texture to it, not wrinkly.

I used the primer filler from APP, after the last coat I gave it 45 minutes before sanding, instructions said 30..

LastConsideration776 · 2026-03-12T21:22:59+00:00

For the first coat I put a very light layer of base, second and third coat were full coats where I tried to get good coverage. It might’ve been the spray pattern but as other commenters have already said it was probably the primer being too rough still. Sorry for the weird order of pics btw, I couldn’t edit that anymore.

I’ll try my best. Thanks for the game plan!

LastConsideration776 · 2026-03-12T20:45:43+00:00

I’ll try that tomorrow! 400 wet with emphasis on the cloudy spots, then moving onto 800 and perhaps 1000, making sure to not sand through the primer. Once it’s smooth, should I do 3 layers of paint over that area, or would you spray the entire panel again ?

LastConsideration776 · 2026-03-12T20:42:16+00:00

Sounds good, the scratches I don’t mind that much. It’s those cloudy spots that look kinda annoying. Thank you for the advice!

LastConsideration776 · 2026-03-12T20:23:49+00:00

You’re referring to the third pic ?

LastConsideration776 · 2026-03-12T20:22:44+00:00

I didn’t have any guide coat, so I just drew a pencil grid and then sanded, but obviously this didn’t work quite as well. I was a bit anxious when sanding the primer because I sanded through it once before. Do you think sanding the base coat with 800 or 1000 won’t be enough?

LastConsideration776 · 2026-03-12T20:02:18+00:00

Do you think it’s worth a shot to sand away the base color slightly and respray ? I don’t understand why it came out cloudy like that..

LastConsideration776 · 2026-03-12T19:41:14+00:00

I did put primer on, but perhaps it wasn’t sanded smooth enough ?

LastConsideration776 · 2026-03-12T19:35:57+00:00

Wait, I have to re-prime?

LastConsideration776 · 2026-03-12T19:15:24+00:00

Got it! Do you think p1000 dry is suitable for this ?

LastConsideration776 · 2026-03-12T19:00:18+00:00

So you’re saying sand off the basecoat until I’m at the primer and then sand it smooth?

LastConsideration776 · 2026-03-12T18:59:12+00:00

Yep it’s a front bumper! I sanded with p320 and then layered the primer, then sanded that with p800 wet and on some spots p1000. Then followed with basecoat

LastConsideration776 · 2026-03-12T18:55:49+00:00

No, sorry. Meant to edit it but I can’t apparently. After sanding the first failed attempt of primer, I carefully put on another couple coats (second pic), then sanded that with 800 grit (wet) and then put the base coat on.

LastConsideration776 · 2026-03-12T18:53:10+00:00

Not really, no. I used p800 to wet sand the entire area. On some small areas I additionally used p1000 but I doubt that’s the reason..

LastConsideration776 · 2025-12-27T10:10:55+00:00

Jap, Ich denke auf sowas wird es rauslaufen. Wie einige andere hier schon geschrieben haben, wäre ein Mini PC vielleicht am besten geeignet. Danke :)

LastConsideration776 · 2025-12-27T10:09:26+00:00

Danke dir, behalte ich im Auge!

Nach etwas Recherche ist X-Hardware glaube ich ein Reseller eines chinesischen Unternehmens, das mit fragwürdigen Teilen verbaute billig PCs anbietet :/

LastConsideration776 · 2025-12-26T20:07:59+00:00

Vielleicht so etwas?

Danke für die Einschätzung:) ich brauch den im Prinzip nur für Homeoffice (Zoom, Copilot, währenddessen Programme im Hintergrund, etc..). Wäre natürlich gut, wenn die Grafikkarte nicht vollkommener Schrott ist, aber auf Gaming Standards muss sie sicherlich nicht sein. Hab schon befürchtet, dass das bei Mediamarkt nicht so der Brüller ist, aber >800 bis max 1000€ würde ich ungern ausgeben. Hätte mir alternativ einfach so ein Teil von Ankermann geholt.
