Fresh Rattle Can After Care?

DropTopPony · Sep 14, 2010

I have some paint chipping/peeling issues on the edges of my hood and around my rear 1/4's next to my vert trim. I was gonna do some paint correction with my PC but am now fearing doing more damage. I am going to remove my vert trim parts and hit them with some black paint and while I have it apart I want to touch up the DFG areas that are flaking with some color matched rattle can paint and clear.

What kind of prep do you think I will need to do?
And can I wax/polish over the areas that are touched up with rattle can or do I need to let it cure like other paint?

I had the clearcoat flaking real bad on my fender.
I sanded the clear to feather the edge with a small block sander. In the process I accidently sanded through the color to the base primer. No prob, just shoot some primer, wet sand smooth, 2-3 coats of color, light wet sanding between coats w/3000, 2-3 coats of clear, again wet sand between coats to remove the orange peel. Polish and wax as usual.

The only reason you need to wait or the paint to cure (on bc/cc) is for the solvents to come out of the Clear and harden. Spray paint isnt like that, wait a day or to for it to get good and firm and wax away
