We recentlly painted my Camaro with Dupont basecoat clearcoat,over catalyzed primer and sealer. We color sanded the car in the booth soon after painting. It has been a couple of months since the job was completed and now I can see a faint almost micro orange peel . My question is,how long should I wait to cut it again? We put four coats of clear on black and silver. I don't want to go through the clear. First cut was with 1000 grit,I thought we would use 1500 for the final or should I go finer yet?

you can do it anytime, i would bump up to 2000-2500, it will buff alot easier not needing as much heat as it takes to get 1500 scratches out, goodluck

With four coats I wold not worry about going through on the flat panels watch your edges and you will be fine!

I will go to 2000-2500 ,I really try to stay away from the edges. I will use a soft pad for the final buff too,should keep the heat down.Thanks,I appreciate your info. It takes so much to get the car to this point as you know.
