    Shop Heater

    Newbie advise on minimizing "paint dieback"

    Well, I did the m205 with the white hexlogic and did see a great increase in the paint smoothness (baggies test). No improvement in the gloss (which was a disappointment), but a reasonable improvement in the "grainyness/peel effect" on the reflection of light. I did have a hard time gauging...

    Newbie advise on minimizing "paint dieback"

    Newbie advise on minimizing "paint dieback"

    Ordered the 3M online and could not see the label....my own fault. I will try the M205 & white pad first as you suggested. Then see where that leaves me. Thank you both very much for your time & help.

    Well dang it! Thanks for your help Ken - I knew I should have got M105 instead of the 3M....I may get a bottle of Meguiars Ultimate Compound and do that before the M205 and call it good enough......I dont want to mess up wetsanding or buffing and have to start all over. S&%# :(

    Newbie advise on minimizing "paint dieback"

    It was 65°F in the garage with the heaters running when I painted, it was 30°F outside. I am sure I did not have adequate airflow. I did extend flashtime (mfg called for 20min, I gave it 30min) and medium speed reducer. I dont have any solvent pop so I think the paint gassed off properly. I...
