slight Laquer run remedy

[yellowbelly]

I have painted and laquered my engine cover (first attempt) and must say i'm pretty happy with the result. However there are 2 ever so slight runs of laquer.

what are my options in terms of getting rid of the runs?

Let it dry, hard. Then get some fine grade sandpaper dip it in soapy water and sand until it's flat with the rest of the lacquer. rinse - dry - apply another layer.

I'm new to the world of painting/laquering....

Do you mean wax the engine cover in full?

 

[Aluco]

Sorry yeah, once you've flatted it done bother spraying another layer on just polish it then wax the entire cover.
