How do I fix spider cracks in car paint?
How do you fix car paint? Mine looks like it has spider web shapes on it. They're not super noticeable but I hate them.

With some careful work, you can definitely fix the spider cracks in your car paint at home. Here’s how to do it:
- Dry sand the area with 320-grit sandpaper. Be careful not to sand through the clear coat or you might have torepaint your car.
- Next, treat the area with a two-part urethane clear coat spray. To do so, first spray the sanded area with a tack coat, then a wet coat.
- Once the area is dry (this should take 24 to 36 hours), wet sand the area with 600-grit sandpaper.
- Check over the area to make sure the cracks are gone. If you need to, you can repeat this process.
Once you’ve fixed up your car’s paint job, why not fix up your car insurance, too? Don’t worry—if you use the
