HOW TO AVOID
Adapt material, spraygun and spraying technique to application conditions in the workshop. If necessary, clean spraygun and use a smaller nozzle.
REPAIR
When the paint has thoroughly dried, remove the run with a sanding block, carbon block or wet sanding paper. The finer the paper, the less damage to the paint and the easier to polish. Polish with Glasurit 562-1602 Fine Polishing Compound and finish with any standard high-gloss polish.
