Question
Since DBU-9700 is a solid color, can it be color sanded to remove contaminants without breaking through the surface PRIOR to clear coating?  Thanks.

Answer
Hi Bob,

I would recommend that you try to avoid that method if at all possible. It could show scratches through the clear-coat or remove too much material and cause it to delaminate. If it's very bad you will need to sand it and re-shoot the black and then clear.
