The clear coat on my car is starting to bubble and peel. is there any way to fix it short of a new paint job?

if not, is there a way to prevent it from getting worse? i've been washing and waxing it regularly, but the clear coat continues to get worse.The clear coat on my car is starting to bubble and peel. is there any way to fix it short of a new paint job?
nope. The problem was that the surface had some dirt or grease or oil on it. Then it was painted over and now the paint did not adhere to the metal.





You have to go down to a good clean surface and repaint. good luck.The clear coat on my car is starting to bubble and peel. is there any way to fix it short of a new paint job?
Someone will have a miracle cure. But the truth is, there is nothing you can do. Don't wax the paint underneath the clearcoat, it might hold on to the wax and look chalky.
that's why you should wax your car every 6 months with a clear coat finish so that doesn't happen but there is nothing you can do but repaint





uh oh you better get maaco

Should I use a base coat/top coat when I paint my nails?

I find a base coat of a nail strengthener is a good start. It helps the colored coat slide on smoother and stops it staining your nails. The top coat helps to stop the color from chipping off and giving you a high shine.





It's worth it, but not essential if you're using quality products.





All the best.


XOXShould I use a base coat/top coat when I paint my nails?
Always base coat. It helps prevent damage to your nails because the nail polish doesn't allow the nail to breathe.


It can prevent your nail from becoming brittle, and turning yellow or discoloured (from nail polish stains).





Top coat can keep you nailpolish on for longer, reduce chipping, and add shine!Should I use a base coat/top coat when I paint my nails?
id suggest doing so- if u do the nail polish will stay on longer- howevr some brands arent all that great and dont work so well a good brand that id suggest is OPI, ur local nails salon, beauty store, or wal-mart shoud hav it!! :)
i usually use a top coat but not a base coat because i use 2 coats of nail polish and if you have that mant layers it's too thick and peels off
nail polish lasts longer and your nails dont get brittle and yellow
yeah, i always do. Your nail polish won't chip as easily and it will help it to last longer.

When painting my wall on a second coat it started bubbling up why ????lowes paint satin latex?

painted latex over enamel or oil paintWhen painting my wall on a second coat it started bubbling up why ????lowes paint satin latex?
yeah. you probably painted a water-based paint over an oil-based paint. my suggestion sand down any areas that have bubbled. wash the entire wall with liquid sander (follow the instructions carefully). then prime the wall with any quality paint primer/sealer. by then you should be able to paint anything you want without any further problems.





hope this helps. without seeing the wall or knowing more specific info this is my best answer.When painting my wall on a second coat it started bubbling up why ????lowes paint satin latex?
I've been doing this a long time and don't want to offend other answers.





First of all you didn't state the finish on the wall prior to this painting. If it had been an oil base paint under you would have seen signs immediately in the first coat.





You also don't explain the bubbling,,, and I wonder, was the paint shaken or stirred so recently before the second coat that it was still full of air bublles,,,OR your applicator...IE: Roller was an incorrect nap';? Normal, small air bubbles often appear, pop, and can be gently rolled in,





How long did you wait to apply the second coat?





If in fact these aren't strictly Bubbles, then possibly the wall was dirty? AS in film from cooking, nicotine, etc.





Finally,,,and no real dig at Lowes, but I never buy a store brand paint,,,maybe silly, but I have my preferences.





Rev. Steven
didnt wait long enough or didnt take of old wallpaper
Prob had oil based paint on the wall. You have to prime with an oil-based primer before you put the latex coat on.

What is a better car paint for a black pearl base coat, Nason or Chromobase?

They are both top quality products.

How to remove clear coat from automobiles without hurting paint?

The clear coat is bonded to the color coat. If the clear coat is flaking you will have to sand the area without removing the base coat. You have to blend the new clear coat into the good clear coat thats left.


If it all bad you will have to do the whole car.


Paint Chips: Automobile paint will receive chips over time due to normal everyday driving. Southern Colors is able to repair the paint damage using its proprietary process. Keeping the painted finish free of chips will protect against rust, and improve the overall appearance of the automobile.





Clear coat scratches: These scratches are usually caused by simply sliding a box or briefcase off the surface of the car, dragging dirt across the finish, and putting minor scratches into the clear coat. Clear coat is a polyurethane, which like most plastics, will haze or turn white when disturbed. The best solution for repairing this type of damage is to cut the damage out of the clear coat through either high speed buffing or wet sanding and polishing. The scratch is Gone, not to return. No painting is required.





Heavier scratches: Scratches that are too deep to cut out will need to be touched up with the correct primer, base coat and clear coat. Touch up will not eliminate the damage, as a physical outline of the damage will always remain. Depending upon color, location and severity of damage, the outcome of the repair will vary. However, in most cases the repair provides a significant improvement to the painted finish.





Very heavy scratches: Scratches that have a scroll design (not a straight line) can only be marginally improved with touch up. Color plays the biggest role in the outcome of repair on this type of damage, but generally only marginal improvement can be expected. A full repaint of the damaged panels is the best solution to repairing the damage.





How long does the average car take to touch up?





Most repairs can be completed in an hour, while the customer waits. For larger jobs, the vehicles can be dropped off in the morning (or the night before) and picked up that same afternoon.








How do I know if I should have my car touched up or repainted?





Touch up is designed to improve the appearance of minor paint damage. If you wish the damage to completely go away, you should consider repainting (in a body shop). Southern Colors is very precise in describing the expected end result, so that the customer can make an informed decision on whether to touch up or repaint.How to remove clear coat from automobiles without hurting paint?

How to remove clear coat from automobiles without hurting paint?
It can't be done. The color under the clear is soft %26amp; has a dull finish, while the clear is very hard. There would also be adhesion problems if you were to re-clear over old basecoat.
Microfiber cloths are amazing and they may remove the spray paint and won't damage the auto paint.
Why in the world would you want to.... there are no chemicals made to do this, and mechanical means, a.k.a. sandpaper are not going to work either. Sand the clear down with 400 wet, and just reclear if you are having a problem. You really need to be more specific.
Why are you removing the clearcoat? Is it peeling up or coming loose? You will have to sand it off and you are going to take some of the color with it. Just bite the bullet and repaint it.

Can I coat the outside of a terra cotta pot with spray paint or is bad for the plant I'm going to put in?

If not, what can I use? The more affordable the better. I want to paint at least 10- 6'; pots.Can I coat the outside of a terra cotta pot with spray paint or is bad for the plant I'm going to put in?
You can coat the outside of you pot with any color you so desire. I would use an acrylic paint but first you must sand away any rough spots or loose clay particles on the rim, bottom edge, and outside of the pot.





Since you are using them for planting, seal the INSIDE with oil or water based polyurethane-2-3 coats-let dry. Either of these will work but oil based polyurethane will last longer. This will prevent any of your exterior paint from seeping its way into the soil.





It may have an impact on the breathing of the pot. However I have done this with little or no impact. I would try one pot first before doing a great quantitiy of potsCan I coat the outside of a terra cotta pot with spray paint or is bad for the plant I'm going to put in?
I don't think it's going to hurt the plants any, but you might have trouble getting the paint to stay on. Terra cotta pots ';breathe'; and let moisture out, so I'd be worried the paint might tend to peel off during use. I don't know how you'd find out unless you tried this, though.
I have never painted one personally but it should not affect the plant. Just don麓t paint the inside and don麓t expect the paint to last since terra cotta is porous and absorbs water.
I have painted several but what I do first is paint the inside with rescue 911 which is a waterproofing and comes in either white or black. you can make some very Beautiful pots if you take the time to paint design es
It want hurt the plant but it will not let the pot breath.

Do I need to sand after the first coat of paint (repainting furniture)?

This is kind of a follow up question :] I'm repainting my night table, and I'm on the first coat of paint.





My question is, should I sand again before applying the second coat?





Thanks in advance!! :]Do I need to sand after the first coat of paint (repainting furniture)?
A light sanding with fine grade sand paper will give youa 'key' for the second coat to grip. (Can also even out any uneven spots on original coat)Do I need to sand after the first coat of paint (repainting furniture)?
Klarissa;


Use #400 grit paper on this, then wipe it down with mineral spirits. The spirits will give it a wet look that you can proof the subsequent finishes look and determine if there are any flaws remaining you want to remedy. Once the spirits evaporates and dries, wipe down the piece with a tack cloth and then apply your second coat.





If you're going to urethane this #800 or #1000 grit the second/final coat and then tack cloth it before applying the urethane. This will provide good adhesion of the urethane, clean the final coat of paint of imperfections, and give you a terrific finish.

It isn't necessary, but a very light sanding will improve the end result.
