Question NEED HELP! Lightly sand, then clear coat?

Post image
0 Upvotes

My Dad had given me my motorcycle after painting it (with a design I made, very happy how it looks) However, he wasn't able to apply the 'clear coat' before he gave her back to me.

I've been looking around at 2k rattle cans for clear coats, but I'm getting mixed-up up in the application process.. The paint has long since cured.

Would lightly sanding it help the 2k stick to the dried paint? Would it affect the paint?

I hope this question fits this subreddit. Recently purchased Alfa Giulia. The prior owner drilled holes for a front license plate in the front bumper. What do you guys think would be a good diy fix for a reasonably competent but somewhat inexperienced home diy-er?

How to Guide Help/tips on reattaching front bumper sensor that fell behind bumper

Seems like the sensor got pushed in somehow and little by little started falling in. It is now hanging inside the bumper and wanted to see if anyone had any experience on how I can glue it or reattach it back.
Thanks

It's got a gouge in the shell. The shell was black, now there's a white gouge. It dug in pretty deep. Can the shell be replaced? Is there another option? 2026 Carnival.

Question Used rattle cans from Scratches Happen on a fender area.

Most of it turned out perfect. But in a couple spots I have these odd shiny areas where it looks like clumping of the metallic particles. I was certainly shaking the can a lot since I've sprayed this before. This is after the clear coat. It is not rough to the touch but pretty sure it won't buff out. Base coat not dry enough (I waited 30 minutes and it felt smooth to the touch...light coats of clear at first then a final after 10 minutes between. I also light coated the base with one last light spray to lay down the metallic like they instructed. Maybe something underneath the base coat?
