In theory, if I paint the deck with base and clear but want to add a graphic latter can I just spot sand the clear where I want the graphics and re-clear then buff?

its a little more involved then that and sort of defeats the purpose of using base/clear. the point of base clear is to bury the tape lines and give a perfect uniform finish. It would be very difficult and time consuming to spot the clear in over graphics. You'd probably be further ahead if you shot single stage now then sanded and base/cleared when you do the graphics and even then I would probably still freshen up the white with a coat of color though




The thread that keeps on giving

Hi Dave, do you know or recommend the PPG color code to paint my '90 TG white? If so, does that color also match the US Composites white gelcoat? I'm done trying to get the gelcoat to spray!! Stubborn I guess.
Regards,
Shawn
