I thought that Imron would look cloudy if wet sanded and buffed?

My 74 challenger was freshly painted with imron paint in 1984. My friend had it painted just before selling it to me and I remember all the hoopla about it being painted in imron.

It was sanded and buffed and you can see some scratches in the clear and there is a little cloudyness here and there. So I'm thinking it's hard to sand and buff?

I have never tried to buff it and it is very hard paint and has held up well during the 30 years it's been painted.



July 2012, more bonneville salt.

Imron (like most polyurethanes) surface harden, with the lower layer staying softer to help avoid checking. While the hard top shell sands/polishes well, once you sand through that, you hit the softer lower layer which doesn't polish well and clouds up. I wouldn't expect to be able to sand out deep orange peel without hitting the softer lower layer, resulting in less gloss and a cloudy look.
