Hey guys
I'm nearly done shooting my car with UV Clear. I just have one panel to reshoot (painting stripes is a bitch, I'm just sayin).
I just wanted a Cut and Buff video from Kevin Tetz and he recommended using a sharpie marker over your cured clear as sort of a guide coat. It would tell you where your low spots are and if you've sanded enough to remove the coarser grit scratches. He demonstrated and it seemed to work great. I'm having a hard time seeing scratches during cut and buff, because my car is white. Would be easier to see in a dark color.
So, before I pull out a black sharpie and scribble black ink all over my new white BC and UV clearcoat (one week old), is this a good technique to use? I just don/t want to create yet another problem that needs to be fixed. This is my first paint job (other than painting single panels and bumpers). See photos. BTW, hood and trunk are resting on body and not yet fit so don't critique my gaps quite yet....
Thanks for the advice. Barry has been a huge help and amazingly, still takes my calls (which have been all too frequent).
