I have a S10 Blazer I'm putting a 5.3 in to make it a fun daily driver. The bumper was messed up so I got a replacement and decided to give painting it a shot with some of the automotive aerosols out there. I did some work on my Nova years back and they turned out OK. I'm not driving shop pieces by any stretch.
While color sanding it I got too aggressive and sanded through the clear, the base and my primer all the way to the black primer that was on the bumper from the manufacture. I tried to post a picture but it won't let me.
I'm not looking for perfect but this obviously isn't what I wanted. What do I do now? Can I sand back with 600 again, seal and re-shoot everything?
I don't think I had enough base on it to begin with. I only bought one can and because I used the white primer I had a hard time seeing the coverage. The spray nozzle was poo for the first coat but I swapped it for the primer nozzle and the next two coats came out OK. I was chasing an flat even finish when I was trying to sand out "shiny dots" I thought were low spots in the clear and just go too aggressive when I sanded through. I definitely need to position the work better on the next try.
Any advice is appreciated.
