Did your passenger get annoyed after you painted them?

don't get annoyed, get even, you show that paint who's the boss best way to get rid of runs is to go and buy a piece of carbide, an inch square will only set you back about $150, it has razor sharp flat edges and is perfect for scraping the runs back to a flat surface, then you rub with some 2000 wet'n'dry, and then polish it or you could get on with it and start over, and remember not to do it next time |

only if you buff it back to bare metal (buffing hits all of the surface of the paint, not just the high spots) |

What sort of paint is it? If its acrylic you may be able to buff the runs out. If it's two pack though you've got no chance... |

If it is acrylic then you can rub back with 1000 wet & dry with a hard block util the runsd have been flattened, then buff with buffing compound. And yes you can rub back and buff 2 pack with the same results. |

Just make sure the paint is dry. Put a mist coat of primer over the area with the run. Use a block with 800 first and sand the area so the run reduces and you just start to get to the primer on the rest of the area. Use the block with 1500 to get rid of the primer so the whole area is now colour. Area of repair (and probably rest of car) can be buffed and waxed. I use a Farecla G3 buffing compound, followed by a finer finish G10 and then a wax - all applied with a RO (random orbital) polisher. Take your time and do it slowly and you will get the result. Acrylic is very forgiving
