Removing paint runs

[JHead]

Hey guys, guessing there's a thread already on this but just wanted a quick solution... first time using rattle cans for spraying anything that i want a half decent finish, my ski poles, and just got a run, large, at primer stage :/ is it just a case of sanding when dry?? Cheers

Sand it back i'm afraid mate :dapprove:

Use lighter coats next time, try not to rush the job.

sand it back down. light coats of primmer and hair dry it from a distance.

Ok thought so, i had already done a good light coat.... then got impatient D:

Classic school boy error. Too much paint!

You can wet sand primer smooth with 1200-2000 grit warm water and a bit of washing up liquid. Takes a while but after a bit of hard work the drop will blend into the rest of the primer.

Will probably still need more primer on top though... ? The paint going on top is black with a slight blue metallic flick

Nope as long as you don't go back to the original part surface you won't notice as long as its smooth to the touch.

Make sure you put a gloss coat on it to double check how smooth it is! I made this mistake with my car so I have a couple of small bonnet dents showing through the wrap =(

They're only my slalom ski poles, so will eventually get chipped and dented.... just wanna get a decent finish in the first place
