Shooting clear over sanded base

C

Chilled Iron

We are spraying the SPI black base and it layed down good but ended up with a couple of big boogers/Dirt in the panel. We were wondering if you can just nub the dirt and then lay down clear or do you need to re-spray the base. Or how do you guys handle dirt in your base coat?

Thanks
 
you probably could get away with sanding and clearing but the best way would be a fast coat over your sanded spots to be safe.

My worry about not re-basing those spots is getting the base thin where outside you see primer or a gray shade spot. Black is a funny color.
 
Can you just spot in the nubbed spots or do you end up with a hard dry edge that wont hide. We cleaned the booth and new filters and everything before we started on the top coats and still had a couple of dirt chunks so we are just worried that if we spray the whole thing again that we will get a big chunk of dirt again. Thanks for the help
 
Just walk up and do a swipe using the u blend method it will not show
 
Like barry said.. I would just take care of the problem, then shoot a little more paint on it then clear.. on a solid you wont notice it.

Exactly, facing a spot on door, point gun at front of car and when you are done gun be pointing at rear of car the bottom of U is covering the stop.
