Bug in clear
I painted a motorcycle fairing the other day, base white and then cleared it.
On the 2nd coat of clear a black speck ( bug ) etc. landed in it. Used a dirt pic to remove most of it. Applied 3rd coat of clear.
Wet sanded, came out barely noticeable. What other options would you guys have used to correct this problem ??
I made the mistake of applying a little base while the clear was still wet a few years ago and it wrinkled.

well if you wanted to make it totally unnoticable you can 1000 grit the whole fairing after it completey dries and spray a little more color where you sanded the bug out and throw another coat of clear on it. and then color sand all the orange peel and inperfections out and buff it. should look great after that.. Later, John.
