Minor disaster while painting side strips



  Clio MK2 1.2 Grande
As per title, I have had a small mishap while colour coding my bump strips, was spraying on my colour coat nice and even when the can spat all over and now it looks crap!
It looks like its bubbled and gone down to the primer forming a small crater in the paint work.
Any way I can sort this without sanding it all back down and priming again? or is that my best option?

Cheers, Chris

Some pics to help
And yeah I know its not completely smooth either, would it be worth trying to get it fully smooth?

Really bugging me now cos I wanna get it finished.
Should I just sand it back down?

i went from like 400 to 2500 iirc :)

i also found that using filler primer works a treat :D

i think i went from 400 to 1200 and used some filler primer but only after using normal primer.
Just debating whether to sand right back down and try and get them fully smooth
