So I figured I would do a test spot with some 3000 grit sand paper. I wet sanded a small section on my drivers side fender. No bigger than a business card. BAD IDEA. I burnt through the clear coat, the damage is about the size of a quarter. Yes I am a noob, so flame on. I did watch tons of vids, and read crazy amounts of articles about wet sanding and detailing before attempting this. I will never touch the paint of Nissan again with sand paper.
So here is my dilemma, even through the damage is small, barely noticeable, I still know it is there. My OCD tells me it is there. After reading more articles I found out that the entire panel will need to be resprayed and recleared.
The clear coat on the 370z is EXTREMELY soft, the car has been polished before with no problems. Wet sanding is a big No No for the inexperienced like myself.
What are my options as far as cost goes, and if cost is high (meaning above $200) to have this repaired should I just get aftermarket fenders?
Anyway thanks ahead for your input, lesson learned on my part.
