OK
So ive painted my cars roof because the clearoat was peeling off. It was a MISSION. Took 7 hours to sand back to primer with 400 grit paper and made a massive mess of my car and the ground. Then I gave it the run over with 600 grit paper and wiped down with plenty of wax and grease remover for paint. Bought 2 spray cans of base and 2 cans of clearcoat(seemed to be enough) for over $100. Put four coats of base on and then sanded with 2000 grit paper (was looking quite good at this point). Then came the clearcoat. This was a nightmare as it has turned all my lovely work into a very shiny but almost white surface. This is as far as I've got so far (letting it cure overnight) and will be sanding with 2000 grit paper and ploishing tomorow (hoping like hell it makes the clear coat mint). If it turns out fine I will be very happy and it will have saved me 300 dollars.
This is what it looked like before.
