Ok so while I was painting my gt, I had a couple of runs about an inch and a half long. Its dried up and I was wondering if there is any way I can remove them? I used a razor to shave them off and sanded with 400 grit then 1500 grit sandpaper. Im waiting until tomorrow to spray over it. Am I missing any steps?

Sounds about right, but I think that 400 grit might have been a little too coarse. But hey, if it is smooth then I don't have a problem with it. Also, I don't think you have to re-spray just because of a run. Once you've sanded it down nicely, you could buff it back to where it looks like nothing ever happened. Some advice, if you don't know how to buff, please get someone who knows. A couple seconds too long buffing on one spot and you could burn your paint. Just a tip!
-Hope I helped, Ryan EDIT: You're a talking about the clear coat that ran, correct? This post has been edited by str8thugginit4ya: Apr 10, 2010 - 6:45 PM |
