Fix that Run

I just had my car painted, and there is an area that shows a run. Would this work with the paint run or only a clear coat?

@lozagon

are you saying, you clearly see that there is a run in the paint, and not in the clear? for a shop to deliver your car to you with a run, it must've been a low cost paint job. but aside from that. this demonstration will only work on clear.. because if youre sanding down paint, you're going to need to reshoot more paint. where here, clear is the gloss and protection of that paint..

Marty- that is mental. Cant believe I have never thought of that. Thanks.

screw this just use a blade with rounded corners. first cut the heads off then let clear dry an hour or 2. Next file with blade. then 2000 then trizact

yeah ok good, but very often the runs are still visible at certain angle and very difficult to get rid of!i you have to have plenty of clear on top and if the run occurs on the first coat with that metallic paint will distort the flakes!!

This process that Marty Dewey has shown on how to take out a run has saved me 4 redo's so far. Thanks!
