I'm doing some on the cheap body repair on by grandparents buick. I'm using duplicolor color matched spray and clear coat. My issue is with the clear coat. I did the passenger side first and it came out near perfect, just has a little rough feeling to it....
My issue is the drivers side. Got the paint down and it was feathered out nice and really even. The clear coat turned whitish and really dull though. My paint went from looking good to looking like s**t. I did the same thing as the passenger side... It was a new can, and it was raining outside, but has stopped since. Did the humidity totally trash this paint job? What are my choices? Rubbing compound didn't improve it much. Do I wait a week and hope the moisture will really prolong the curing(I think its unlikely)? Do I wet sand it with very fine paper and hope I can get away with only more clear coat and heavy buffing? Or do I have to sand and redo the base and clear?
