Hi guys, as title

I am 2000 w&d'ing the paint work to get rid of some orange peel, my question is what should I do? can i just patch repair the clear coat or do I need to re clear coat the whole panel?


Thanks for any guidance

Nope w and d it then polish using a mop electric polishing machine and rubbing compound, be careful not to sand through the clear coat or u will need to reprint the whole panel again if it's metallic as you will alter the flake and the colour
