How to Remove Urethane Overspray?

Yet another learn-learn-the-hard-way episode in my life.

I first sprayed my Jube front wheels with 3 coats of Valspar ford Grey and got a nice shiny look of depth like baked enamel.

There was part one of my mistake. I should have done the backside of the rims first.

While carefully spray primering the back -- which also should have been done first -- I taped over the 4 large slots so the spray wouldn't get to the finished front side. Everything seemed OK

Then the big mistake; I removed the strips of TAPE covering the slots so I could get the edges covered by the green taps and sprayed three coats on the back
bye bye nice glossy finish on parts of the front side as overspray made it through the slots and maybe moreso because I had the rims revolving on a stool thus trapping the mist.

So . . .

Are there ways like blue clay or wet 1000 or 1500 & awkward surface buffing to remove the overspray, or should I just mask off the backside thru holes and recoat the front?

Thanks,

Terry

David,

Good to hear that about the Polyurethane.

After all the rubbing I did, I'm impressed with its durability too.

So today I worked on all the dull spots till they were no longer sandy to the touch and actually looked good while water rinsing, so . . . I think that with buffing on just the right wax I can even get back some shine by those open ports.

I had some old Heavy Duty Turtle Wax rubbing compound

but bought a tub of Light to Medium (same brand) yesterday and that is what I used.

Thanks,

Terry

P.S.

Today I concocted what looks to be a good air dryer for my air lines. The details are on the N Forum under the topic: Someone Here Put a Bug in My ear. :)
Here's some before and afters:

Urethane really bites good, I would just repaint that side.

That rim looks nice and glossy to me. Hal

Hal,

That's the "before" -- before I sprayed the backside.

I haven't taken a photo of the dulled spots; I'll post one in a while.

thanks,

Terry

Randy,

Seemed like the easiest fix to me too, but I still have much of the "wet look" showing so I'm going to try the Valspar painters suggestion of today first which was to try a rubbing compound which I have some of so no expenditure.

I have two types of rubbing compounds and I tried a bit on some overspray where I touched up a couple of rust spots on the tractor tin and it worked.

There was some overspray on the F of the Ford script that came right off with turtle wax rubbing compound.

I'll follow it with a buffing and carnauba wax polish and see how it all goes.

I'm anxious to get the wheels back on as up here, winter rain is setting in and I have some firewood and other tractor chores to do.

If the rub down doesn't work for me, I think I'll put off re-coating till next spring. With rain and being at sea level it is getting very humid in this valley.

Thanks much,

Terry

Quickest and least work and best look would be to re-spray front. Cheap lesson as lessons go. Even if you did get the overspray leveled, you will never get it buffed back to the "wet look" on a set of wheels.
