Man I F up

texasfisherdude · 03-27-2008, 02:39 PM

I was repainting the tank on my shadow and didnt notice the garage door was open and got a nice mist of over spray on the Nomad luckily it was clear coat and you cant see it but you can feel it. I got it off the chrome with solvent but I havent tried on the paint yet. This was a Dee Dee Dee moment that will take a little work to fix. :-/

Ugh.... Man...sorry to hear about that... guess you lived up to your motto... "If it aint broke I still fix it!" LOL!

probably won't be all that bad, Matt.
Try some 3M swirl mark remover, or comparable fine polishing compound; should come off ok.
Been there, done that!!
good luck!

Look on the bright side, at least your Nomad is going to get a good polish and will be look sharp soon

Beezer is right....when we have overspray claims on cars, that is the technique recommended to take of overspray..if you try compound you will make it worse and be compounded the affected and unaffected areas at the same time.

Can you get thay stuff at the parts store?

Todd · 03-27-2008, 04:53 PM

Should be able to..I have used Maguire's auto detailing clay before on small stuff for personal use.

Thought I recognized an English licence plate ! English lad in Canada. Have a blue/silver 2005 Nomad I just bought last weekend. Have not had chance to ride it yet.

Picked up some Maguire's at auto zone and did a little on the tank and it works. I'm going to get on it when I feel better I got a case of the gunky funk that kicking my butt. Thanks for the help

PERFECT!!! not the gunky funk......the "it works" part

Glad we could help you in a time of despair

How'd the paint job turn out?

Also, DO NOT drop the claybar and reuse it since it may pick up a piece of grit and scratch your paint. They say if you drop it to throw it away.
