can somebody can help.i have scratch on my car and im trying to wet sanding my car and this is what happen to my paint. im using 3m 2000grit. thank you
here some picture
 
Hard for me to see in your pictures, but it looks to me like you may have sanded through your clear coat. Hope that's not the case.
 
What make and model car? How many times have you polished the paint in that area before this? Doesn't look good from the pic.:(

Agree it's kinda hard to see, but the area appears dull/matte, so it would seem you have gone through the clear to the base coat. Just my guess.
 
While strike through is possible, it doesn't look like it to me. IME, strike through tends to be more symmetrical and the edges look different.
 
Yeah that looks like you've sanded through the clear, and some of the scratch still remains in the base coat. That scratch probably should have been filled with clear paint before you began sanding. There's no way to make it look as if it never happened short of repainting the panel.
 
looks like you went through the CC.
Don't worrie to much about it. It shouldn't grow.
But you'll have to live with it.
 
on the last pic you can tell you went through.....

No worries, i just did the same thing with some 2k paper. but i did it on a 99 4runner thats in really bad shape so you can look all over the car and never find it.


you will learn more from this than reading on this site for a wk. mistakes mold you. keep your head up, could of been 50x worse.
 
Man, a new one of these threads pop up every week. As a hobby-detailer, I will never be touching wet sanding.
 
Now that I look at it on my computer, I might be inclined to agree...
 
You must have either a soft and thin CC or been really going at it because sanding through CC with 2000 grit takes a bit.. Buff it out as best as you can and leave it. Or reclear/repaint it (by a pro).
