<HTML>I second Joe...we had a repair from another shop last week on a black suburban and it was shallow so we were able to get the paint back to just about 100% with several steps used. If the damage had been much deeper...forget about it.</HTML>

<HTML>If the burn site is some where out of the line of fire, so to speak, you may want to try 2000 grit wet/dry and color sand. If it's a hood area or some where that will be easily seen, go to a good Hi end body shop, as they usually will have one of the newer paint thickness guages, and do as Steve suggested. Probably, there were many,many mistakes made by color sanding/compounding before the Thickness guage was invented. I know of one old timer, that has screwed a place on a finish lately, trying to level and correct. The good thing, was that I went over the "What Can Happen's" with the owner before proceeding..................... Brandy !
The out come would have probably been different, if I had one of the new Thickness Guages..............Live and Learn!</HTML>

<HTML>Good advice, but perhaps a little more input is required.
Most "detailers" or "enthusists" have not one bit of knowledge regarding the "high solid/low solvent" clearcoats applied today to vehicle, and have been for many years.
Wet/color sanding is done way to often, by those who have no idea of what they are really removing of the clear.
They do not understand the "intricate" way that a clearcoat cures in an "assembly plant" process, which is much different than what a bodyshop or "home painter" may apply.
Two different chemistries, two entirely different issues of dealing with this surface.
But, I agree, if one does not have an electronic thickness gauge and really know how to use one, where to take readings, etc, they might as well be serving up burgers at McDonald's.

<HTML>Be damned difficult, as it takes about an hour of our course, to just cover the changes in paint systems, how they are applied, etc.
Then, after that, we address what are the affects of the enviorment, incorrect buffing, etc, etc.
Not something to be done on the net, got to be there.
Have tried it before, on the net, using video, doing 45 minute seminars, and all that results is mass confusion.
Some claim they can explain everything about paint during a two or three day school, well in my 50 plus years of dealing with automotive paint, it just ain't so.
And, we only touch on the important parts.
