Was using 2000 grit sand paper to sand out a scratch and now in 2 spots it turned white. My paint is black. Used megs 105 to buff but it didn't come out. Paint just looks cloudy. Here is a pic. Not that great.

The spots are highlighted by the flash

Yep.. it looks like you have gone through the clear.
 
See I don't know if it is down that far cause there was never any color transfer to the sandpaper
 
Strike-through. Looks like you've got a hot date with a paint booth! :(

Doesn't look like primer showing, just failed clear.
 
Do you guys think DrColorChip would seal that until repaint? It worked wonders on my lower spoiler scrapes.
 
It appears you sanded and buffed through the clear coat. Unfortunately the only solution is to repaint the panel.
 
it doesn't even feel like its down a level though, it feels the same as the clearcoat. i hit it was megs 105, then 205 and its got wax on it, so it is protected. the pictures aren't good, it really looks like cloudy clearcoat, but i dont know. i'll have to try to take a better picture.
 
Looks like primer to me, but it is hard to tell with the level of focus / lighting in your pictures.

You really wouldn't be able to feel the strike through. You also probably wouldn't have seen any paint transfer onto the sand paper. The pictures look like the clear coat has failed, and you might not have hit the color coat yet, or removed enough color to notice transfer on your pads.
 
this picture might be a little better.

bova face it, you went to far and its through the clear.
 
I guess we all agree he went through the clear coat.And no Dr color chip won't help this .There system is really geared towards chips .

No touch up will fix this problem correctly. Keep in mind that because this is a metallic color & it's too close to the edge, it will also require color blending into the adjacent door. More $$$

:iagree:
 
Ouch man, that's why I'm skeptic to wetsand! You could try some colored wax or something in that area to help cover it up...
