clear coat
you should be able to, not two smooth, leave the surface - with a
"tooth"(profile) so the clear coat will adhear. if you will use a _tack cloth_ (available at paint stores) and wipe the surface just before the application of the clear coat - it should pick up the "debris" from the surface - resulting in a smooth finish, void of any particulate matter. m h o *v ƒe |

You should use wet-sanding sand paper - 400 grit for enamel based and 600 grit for lacquer. sand it smooth. When applying your clear-coat you should be inside with as minimal dust/air movement. temp should be around 60 - 80F |

clear coat
Are they in the clear itself or are they on the top of the color coat
and under the clear. Either way your going to be sanding back to the color coat if you want to do it in one coat and not have to start over again. Just sand using 400 until you remove the clear, then go over it with 600. Tack it off good and then to reduce the problem with dust/crud use a small sprayer with some water and spray down the area your painting in. If your only doing some small parts make a booth out of cheap poly sheeting hung up with some clothesline and clips. Make it big enough that you can move around the parts. Then clean the parts and spray. -- Steve Williams "ronkinz" > wrote in message ... > > I recently painted my motorcycle. After applying the clearcoat I noticed > particles in the clearcoatfinish.
