Overspray clearcoat on windshield

Re: Overspray clearcoat on windshield

When I feel the windshield, it is very smooth and I can't feel the orange peel, ripples or anything.

If the windshield glass has overspray on it then you should be able to feel it.

What other way or how else do you know that there is clear overspray paint on the glass if you can't feel it? Can you see it?

What's going on with the windshield that tells you or shows you that it has overspray on it?

We're talking about the outside of the glass correct?

After my father's car came out of the body shop, there was clearcoat all over his windshield. We should of took it back asap but we didn't.

Now it's 6 months later and the clearcoat is really annoying my mother.

What exactly is annoying your mother about the glass?

Plus, can you educate me more about clearcoat so know what I am up against.

Clearcoat is simply clear paint, it's a modern clear paint sprayed over the colored layer of paint.

When the clearcoat gets on the windshield or paint, only a little gets stuck right?

Hopefully.

Depends upon how the painter is holding the paint gun.

Paint is forced out of a spray nozzle into the air with the idea to direct most of the paint material onto the hood and things like the windshield glass should be covered with paper.


Can you capture any of the problems with a camera?

I cannot feel the paint but I can see it. It looks like millions of little oily spots all over the windshield. My mother is annoyed by the fact that the oily spots will glare her vision when in direct sun light. Also the oily spots will bend and glare objects. However, I cannot feel tiny bumps or anything and this is maybe because the spots are little.

Hopefully I can get a picture this weekend if I can get a hold of a camra.

I still cannot find any aggressive clay over the counter. I will check at O'Reilly today. Pep boy, lowes, napa and walmart don't have it.

You're looking at Hard Parts stores, you need to look for a PBE Store.
