Had a bit of a drama last night (cause everything else always goes perfect!)
I started to cut the clear back to 2000 to get rid of the peel and the run that I had in the clear. Turns out the run had etched itself into the red base coat so I had to rub back into the color. Not happy.
Last night I tried to do a blend in by just sanding back the surrounding surface and spraying new base and clear but when I inspected this morning I wsn't happy with the outcome, so this time I'm trying the same thing but with a bit of primer underneath to help match the rest of the panel.
I'm hoping this time it'll work and be invisable so I wont have to restrip the whole quarterand start again.
The initail rub to remove the drip etching
This is the second attempt - this time masked off for primer overspray (will unmask for the color and clear and blend them out then cut it back to 2000 to match the rest of the panel )
Primer under a heat lamp
Hopefully I'll be able to sand this patch in a few hours and get the color on. Fingers crossed!

Tried and failed twice now. It's still noticable - just.
Going to have to sand back and respray the whole panel.

Had another crack at it today - it looks better. My heat lamp blew both globes so its hard to see in the shed light if I actually fixed it this time or not. I can kinda just so very slightly see an outline but I'm hoping it's not going to be highlighted with the clear (wishful thinking as clear highlights everything)
This is the primer section before I rubbed it back. I was meant to blend in the edges but I got a bit trigger happy.
This is the best I can get it without respraying the whole lot. For now it'll have to do as this is the third time I've had a go at fixing it.
