Removing dry paint runs? Options

[Scosh]

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?

you may have to scuff all the basecoat(color) that sat while it was drying. then respray a light coat of base, and then you can clear. scuff with 800 -1000 grit, then re spray.

your paint manufacturer may suggest different though. I use Nexa Autocolor at my shop. and if my base sits overnight, i usually lightly scuff with a blue 3m Sanding sponge and then i spray light coat of color and then i clear.


...also. if its a metallic color, and you've sanded out a run in your basecoat, i would HIGHLY suggest spraying a coat of color again. sanding your metallic can/will "smere" your metallic orientation.
