i just painted a work truck saturday for a local farmer with some low grade acrylic enamel. turned out pretty good except i had 3 small runs on one fender. just wondering how some of you paint guys get your runs out. i was going to wet-sand with 1500 and buff with rubbing compound then glazing compound.

You have to spot the run while its still wet and then use some maskin tape to lift it out. After it drys its too late, you then have to sand it down and spot paint over it.

Eastwood carries a small razor type tool for removing runs, some paint stores may have the same.

just sand the fender and give it another quick squirt....job done

If it's enamel without a hardener or heat drying, then the paint is going to be too soft to sand. You pretty much have to strip and repaint it. If it is hardened with a catalyst, then you can use traditional methods, like the razor blade or sanding it down.

ahhh, i took it as acrylic which you can normally sand carefully the next day

it is acrylic enamel, and i did use hardener. the guy said he really didn't care, he just uses it around his farm to work. but that was about the only flaw i had in the job, thought i'd fix it before i gave it back. only thing is, now i'm out of hardener.
