Auto body repair & detailing - overspray,dusting


Expert: Kim Smith - 4/29/2009

Question
I have just painted my car with Omni enamel metallic paint (no hardener).  I created some dusting of the paint between passes with the gun.  How long should I wait to remove the dust and HOW do I remove it?

Answer
Hi Thomas, There is no good news on how to rectify this problem. The omni enamel should of had a hardener mixed in prior to spraying. It is difficult to polish out nibs in a metalic paint without a clearcoat. I would personally remove the paint and start from the beginning with hardner..If you are having dust problems then I would also recommend using a basecoat/clearcoat system...
