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

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.

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.

After stripping the wax coat off of a leather shoe will acrylic paint hold without cracking?

Are you wearing it or making art out of it? If you're wearing it any paint will crack and acrylic will probably crack right away. If youre making art out of it it'll probably be all right though I would do several thin coats rather than any thick ones. You may also want to apply a clear sealer, which might even help if you were wearing it especially if you were only wearing it once for some special reason.

answer mine pleasee ^ :)My room is blue, i want to paint it light yellow but do i need a white coat of paint?
A good paint should cover the blue (I'd suggest the Behr paint that is also a primer) with two coats. Sometimes you'll need 3 coats with extreme color changes.
you need to cover it with a primer/sealer or the blue will bleed through and you'll end up with a green tone. try your benjamin moore dealer. the stuff is great.
I've painted light yellow over blue without a problem - you'd be surprised how much paint will cover another color. You'll need two coats. Don't panic when you see the blue under the first coat, the second coat will cover it well. A first coat of yellow will provide more coverage than a coat of primer will.
you will prop need to do 1 coat of white, then 2 coats of light yellow
u need to prime it with primer first, if not then then the yellow might have blue undertones.
if u could remove the blue color by sand paper then u can apply the yellow color directly otherwise paint with white first
Because you have a lighter color being painted over a darker one, you should always prime the walls white first to avoid any bleed-through from the underlying darker color.





If you'd like to preview your room with your new yellow color before you begin painting, have www.roomvues.com paint a photo of your room with their full-service color visualizer.





Pretty cool!
You need to use a primer first. They do normally come as white, but you can have them tinted slightly to make it even closer to the yellow you want. You may still have to use a second coat, depending on how dark the blue is.
yes
I would definitely recommend a coat of white latex primer first. The use of primer has other benefits, beside just color coverage. It will also help to even out any areas you may have sanded or patched, and will ensure the new paint doesn't flake off if the previous paint might have been oil based.





Even with the primer, you will likely require at least 2 coats of the yellow paint in order to get an even surface and a ';saturated'; color. Also, try to choose a yellow that has a tiny bit of a muddy or gray undertone (versus a ';pastel'; yellow), in order to better coordinate with bedding, furniture accessories. ';Pastel'; colors only ever look right with white or other pastel colors. Everything else you try to introduce into the room will look a bit off.





Hope that helps!

are you sure it's oil paint? if you are, try using turpenoid. rub it on with a rag, let it sit a couple minutes, and then rinse. but since the paint is probably dried by now, there may not be much you can do; turpenoid is a paint thinner and meant to be used for painting, not really for dried paint. but it's worked for me in the past on clothes i havent yet put through the wash.
There is a soap called ';Master's Brush Cleaner and Preserver'; which dissolves caked and dried oil paint from brushes... and works on fabrics too. Have used this and it is a good product, very gentle.





Also, there is a stick called ';Kiss Off'; which claims it will remove oil paint stains from fabric. Never tried it, though.

Paint is bubbling and peeling on ceiling when applying second coat.?

Renovating a new property and working on ceiling in bedroom. Removed polystyrene tiles that were stuck to ceiling and sanded the whole surface to smooth. Applied a first coat and all was ok. Two weeks later just applied the second and areas have bubbled and peeled away when running with the roller. Paint I have used is Dulux so can't be the quality surely. Is there something I should have done to prevent this and how can I fix the problem. Help!Paint is bubbling and peeling on ceiling when applying second coat.?
Wait for it to dry thoroughly and then use a good quality primer and then repaint. moisture in the ceiling is coming out so the paint will not adhere properly. Had this problem in my house with plaster wallsPaint is bubbling and peeling on ceiling when applying second coat.?
you forgot to use primer first. it adheres to the ceiling %26amp; gives a surface for the paint to adhere to
What style of paint??If the first coat is gloss or semi gloss it needs to be sanded between coats for the following coat has something to grab on to.....
wait fur the first coat to dry longer scrap the dryed bubbles off and paint it again.

It really depends on the color. Dark colors always require more than one coat. Or if you are covering a dark color with a light one.


I like Philadelphia, it's about $18-$23 per gallon.
Behr brand paint was voted #1 and offers a wide range of colors and textures. You can buy it at Lowes or Home Depot.
American Traditions at Lowes
That would depend on what your painting, inside or outside. I like Sherwin Williams paint, http://www.sherwin-williams.com They also make weatherbetter that Sears sells. I have painted many houses and I have found that their paint is solid. They are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for. I also like Ben-Moore paints as well. I hope this helps
Kilz or Kelly Moore
Well it depends on what color it's going over and what color you are choosing. If you are choosing a bright color or deep color or a red there is no such thing as a one coat paint. If you are doing a mid-range or lighter color go with Behr Paint. If you are painting one of the darker,brighter or red colors then make sure you use the tinted primer offered and you should cut down on your coats dramatically.
kilz brand now available with colors and they say one coat. i used it on my basement walls, which were really bad and it worked well
I hate to say this but the more you spend on paint the fewer coats you'll need to paint.
affordable and one coat do not go together, spend a little more on a premiun paint like Pratt and Lampert accolade or benjamin moore regal and you will stand a better chance


of getting one coat coverage.....all paint companies had to re formulate their painta a few years back to comply with new goverment regulations...because of this one coat coverage is pretty much a thing of the past. I am a painting contractor and always bid jobs for two coats.

How do I care for my vehicles Teflon coated paint?

Hi,





I just purchased a 2007 Tacoma and Toyota put their ';finishing touch'; spray on the exterior paint. I think it is a teflon based protectant. Anyways, it is supposed to protect the paint from the elements. My question is, is there anything I need to do to care of this coating? How about washing? Is it safe to use automotive detergent or will it strip the sealant? How about waxing? Will that srtip it? Thanks for the help!





MitchellHow do I care for my vehicles Teflon coated paint?
Paint protection sold by a dealer is nothing more than car wax--they say it has Teflon in it to sound good 'cause everyone thinks nothing will stick to Teflon. It may have Teflon in it but basically you're paying for the warranty...waste of money in my opinion. Check the wording of the warranty---some of them require you to reapply the wax periodically and you should be able to get more wax at the dealer at no charge....other ones just require that you rewax as normal. Just buy a good quality wax and rewax when the water does not bead up on the car....wash as usual with any good car wash soap not dish soap. Next time, save the 400.00 for a good buff job or detail once a year.How do I care for my vehicles Teflon coated paint?
Do you think or do you know for a fact that it is Teflon based? Hope you know that you just got raped by the dealer. They basically just do a wax job on the paint that you paid $400 for.

PAUL IS CORRECTLY RIGHT, THAT CRAP THAT THEY SELL AT THE DEALERSHIPS IS NOTHING MORE THAN YOU CAN BUY FROM THE AUTO PARTS STORE, BUT REMEMBER TO BUY A QUALITY WAX.

I belive most them have a 100k warranty on paint. You might check that out Im not 100% certain. Also if you bought it used that might not apply. I would take it to the stealership and see what they say.





Candice you must not be familiar with the early 90's chevys. Specifically the beretta, the prob with the neons was the primer. I bet you drive a chevy though!
I didn't see a recall on the paint only certain engine cooling systems which can affect the engine.





You see this a lot especially on red or maroon colored cars but it is mainly due to inproper baking on of the color.





If you purchased it new, I would take it to the dealer and pitch a fit anyway. If you bought it used... I would probably do the same.

You might want to check with an auto body shop and have them do it. They have the paint booth, plus since you are painting a cover, it is flexible and needs special additives to the paint to help the paint stay flexible so it won't crack when it is moved.





At least take it and get an estimate on a professional job.How hard would it be to paint a rear bumper cover by myself with clear coat and all.. where can i find info on
For extra $ you can go to any auto body store with the paint code and get the paint in a spray. Most repair manuals have a section for body repair.


If it's new bumper, you Will need to send it and prime it if it's not primed yet. If it's already primed, you should send it using 600 grit send paper before you spray it. When spraying, do not insist in one spot. Make sure that there is no dust on the floor or on the bumper itself. If the floor is dirty get it wet. Also, there spray that you can find at wal-mart that helps the paint to stick to the plastic surface that you can use as most likely your paint will peel. It shouldn't be humid or cold when painting...80 degrees is ok!


Good luck!
If it's not on the car yet, it's extremely easy. Mainly because you don't have to worry about oversrpay. You could buy cans of auto paint for about $4 each and have it done in no time. I know there is one brand of auto paint that makes colors amazingly close to the original, I just can't think of the name right now.

What is the difference between ablative type and imtumescent type of fire coating/paint?

Please let me know What is the difference between ablative type and imtumescent type of fire coating/paint? Please furnish the details such as advantages/disadvantages of each type of coating .What is the difference between ablative type and imtumescent type of fire coating/paint?
ablative coatings absorb heat and burn off, like the heat shield on a space capsule returning to earth. Normally, they are somewhat insulating as installed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ablation#Pa鈥?/a>


intumescent (note n not m in 2nd position) coatings puff up forming an insulating barrier to keep the material below at a lower heat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intumescent


As installed, ablative must be thicker to do their job which can be a disadvantage over intumescent which can be thin until heated.
