Yam Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I’ve applied Opti coat pro about 8 times now and I’m still having difficulty catching highspots before letting it cure. I currently have a large mobile diffused bar light, overhead diffused bar lights, and a scangrip sunmatch. I’m able to see the coating flash, the initial leveling of the coating where it smudges a bit and hazy holograms halos on the panel with the scangrip. Am I going too far by trying to level the slight haze? any other tips for catching high spots before letting it cure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron@Optimum Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I'm not hearing issues with high spots on OCP - you may be overreacting to "smudges"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yam Posted July 19 Author Share Posted July 19 One of the vehicles I did had a massive dark high spot on the hood. I ended up polishing it off and re-coating it. In this case my process was no different than any of the other cars I had coated. What should I be looking out for to be confident I won’t have any high spots when I pull it out in the sun? When I inspect my leveled areas with my scangrip and see that haze (similar to what you’d see with wiped off compound), should I continue leveling or will it disappear after curing?
