    Paint touch ups and rust repair

    I did start at 220 dry grit in one spot to see if I could make perfect,took a lot of 320 dry and 400 wet to remove scratches but I was able to make it look good.

    So some research suggests dont bother spraying clear,either a hand wipe like @Tonyrodz says or just keep adding wax and re sand again every year.

    Bit of whoops on my first blend attempt. Tried wet sanding down the tape line and now have a blurry patch. Colour doesn’t match anyway so will clean off the wax sand it all with 1500 and see if I can match a little better. I think I’ll add more clear also.I’ll tape some raised curved masking...

    Digging out more rust. There’s a plastic peace that fits under the lip creating a place for the plastic bumper to slide in. One of the thread things rusted out so will have to make a new spot for the clip. Another spot I’m just gonna put a piece behind to give the bottom some support. Just gonna...

    Got several more spots to do. I’ll probably be a lot better at blending the paint when I do the last one. Lol. For those that know what grit wet paper do I need to go to before I buff?? I have 2000 but probably need to go to 3000? Thanks.

    One spot I did a tape line then colour sanded then moved the line to spray clear. Looks ok colour is a hair off but I’m ok with that. Looks better then rust.

    I have a 2010 Yukon XL has some rust spots so doing some fixes. Rattle can paint paint and clear. So far I’ve sanded out the easy surface rust spots, prime then paint. Seams to look ok. Not perfect but I’m ok with that.

    2010 Yukon XL Lowering drivers seat.

    Ya that kinda works,I move the base closer so I dont have to reach for the wheel. A telescoping steering wheel would sure help.
